THOUGHTS
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVED THIS BOOK!!!!
Once I opened it up I could not get enough. I didn't know what to expect but it wasn't this. Ahhh!!!!
Do I believe that Kat will succeed like Meg? Part of me wants to believe that she will but I think she's starting off too big. Meg learned from Cory. Kats just guna ace it on the first try?
Idk but I looooooooved this story!
Everything that Meg does with what she achieves makes me giddy because all of me also sorta expected her to be kinda greedy about it. She just wanted to exact revenge.
I just loved this one so hard!!!!!!!
Julie Clark might just turn unto an auto buy for me!
i wish i had more to say but i think i looooved this book i want to own a copy now so that i can reread it right now speaks just about enough volumes.
"maybe you judge me for holding him close instead of casting him out. but if you take a look at where cory is now, i think its pretty obvious that holding your enemy close makes it much easier to slip the knife back into their back."
SPOILERS
but i will say that go MEG!
i thought she was being the bad guy to be the bad guy because she could but homegirl was taking names, kicking ass and giving back like she was oprah with dem cars!
ahh!!!!!
i fucking loved this book.
read the last few pages. maybe the last few chapters and itll walk ya thru it.
or ask!
ill try and remember!
ugh - okay.
meg lived in her home with her mother that was passed down to her by her parents (passed down to megs mom). mom dates Ron (the politician dude) and he manages to swipe the house out from underneath her and then proceeds to kick them out.
in school Kate, a popular girl, is the only one that ever defends Meg when others tease because girls gotta stick together.
later on it emerges that Kate had been sleeping with Cory. meg had seen Kate getting out of places after being with Cory but she never said anything. then Kate stops showing up and Cory is no longer a teacher.
now its been years and megs been doing the living in your car life when she acknowledges that she needs to start dating someone who can give her more so she changes the age settings in her dating profile (she'd use this to get free meals) to older so she can find a dude with a home.
BOOM!
Cory.
she creates a fake profile pretending to be this Amelia chick and feeds Cory everything he wants to hear to win him over, sets up a date to meet up and then stands him up. she shows up pretending to also have been stood up and then boom! she cons him into a relationship and much more; she ends up living with him.
anyway, one day, she's looking for a bulb when she finds pictures of Kate (her name is actually Kristen now that i think about it but were too far in) in sexual positions that Cory had saved from their time.
she is disgusted and wants to leave (she had no idea about any of this prior to this moment and what she had known before so when she roped him, she was just tryina survive for reals) but decides to stay and get revenge for homegirl because girls stick together.
yada, yada, yada, a lot happens, she ends up clearing Corys bank account, ruining his friendship with Nate (was that his name? idk but it is now) and releasing all the information about his relation with Kate.
this is where Kat comes in. she's in journalism and long story short, when Meg was conning Cory, Meg called idk where and said that if they wanted more insight into the cory/student story to go to this place and meet with Nate. after a few drinks, he'd be loose. so Kat goes, talks to homie, gets a call in the middle of the conversation and leaves her drink behind only to come back to Nates apartment the next day i wanna say?
he date raped her.
so now Kat is out to get Meg because she thinks that she intentionally sent her out to Nates KNOWING he would rape her because she (meg) had previously claimed attempted rape by nate (she did but he had not tried. he was just calling her out because he knew she was up to something in regards to Cory....which she completely was by the time he started accusing her. she needed to buy time....)
so kat becomes homies with meg under the impression that she was interested in buying a house but meg sees right thru her.
anyway, the entire time, Meg is focused on Ron, the dude who stole her house and screwing him over.
which she does.
she manages to sell him on the idea that because he is running for politics he needs to buy a bigger and better home and now with the elections, its the perfect time. she finally sells him on a house and theyre all set to go but in reality she showed him an empty home and stole all of his money.
she got him to sell his (her) home to a nice elderly couple. she didnt want it for herself, she wanted it out of his hands in the same manner that he took it.
as for the money for the mansion that he thought he bought, she kept a chunk and another portion was donated to a Homeless Organization which looked very bad on Ron because what rich people want to donate money to help the less fortunate?
in the end, she tells Kat to meet her at her house and when Kat shows up all she finds is a note and some notebooks that meg left for her. (the notebooks part is the hardest part for me to believe because why would you continuously carry a paper trail? i understand that she might not keep them on her at all times but iduno.....anyway....) in the notebooks she details everything about Cory and all of the other people that she has conned and why. everyone that she conned was conned because they deserved it and she, i believe, always did good with what she took.
anyway, Kat was trying to be a journalist to appease her mother when in reality she wants to be an author. with meg's permission, she can turn the notebooks into her first book.
theres obviously a lot more, like Scott! LOVED that shady son of a bitch! that i left out but thats mostly the gist of it.
....or how i remember it week's later.
thx!
lv u!
byee!
