I've Got Plans for You
Not yet published
Expected 6 Oct 26Rory Wilson and Celeste Markham are friends. Or that’s what everyone thinks. Their boyfriends are co-captains of the soccer team, they hang out with the same group, and they’re even going to the same college in the fall. The truth is, they've been secretly sabotaging one other since middle school, and the only thing keeping their frenemy-ship from total destruction is that they each know the others’ darkest secret.
When Rory spies her boyfriend hooking up with Celeste, the endgame begins. Now she has plans to finally get Celeste exiled from the friend group so she no longer has to play second-best to the insufferably perfect Celeste. It'll happen at the beach house where the entire group is kicking off the summer with a week of chilling by the pool, partying, and—if Rory plays her cards right—shocking revelations that will turn everyone against Celeste. She has a plan, and it's going to work. No matter what it costs her.
But taking down a frenemy is no easy task, and Rory’s not the only one in the house bent on destruction. Either Celeste is even more devious than Rory realized, or someone else is stealthily playing the circle of friends against one another. As a storm strands them all in the house, tensions rise and the dangers escalate. Rory doesn't know whether she's the target of this secret revenge, or if Celeste is. Will she be the one to end up dead? Or the one left without an alibi?

Safe to say I have no desire to be in this fucked up friend group. Roselyn Clarke has a way of keeping you guessing until the very end, which made this a very entertaining read.

Plot
Rory Wilson and Celeste Markham are seen as close friends, but behind the scenes they’ve been secretly sabotaging each other for years, held together only by mutual secrets. When Rory discovers her boyfriend with Celeste, she decides it’s time to destroy her rival for good during a summer beach house trip with their friend group. But as tensions rise and a storm traps them together, hidden agendas surface, loyalties blur, and Rory realizes someone may be manipulating them all. What starts as a revenge plan turns into a dangerous game where no one is safe and someone might not make it out alive.
Thoughts
This book was absolutely crazy and such a wild ride from start to finish! The tension between Rory and Celeste was intense and I loved how the story really showed the toxicity of their entire “friendship” group. Nobody truly trusted each other, and every interaction felt messy, dramatic, and full of hidden motives.
The twists were genuinely shocking, and every time I thought I knew where the story was going, something else happened. The suspense kept building the entire time, especially once they were trapped together at the beach house.
And that ending?! It completely blew my mind. I was so invested that I didn’t even realize I had reached the last page of the book.
If you love messy friend groups, secrets, betrayals and twisty YA thrillers, this one is definitely worth picking!

First, thank you Netgalley and Sourcebooks Fire for this ARC!
Finally a good one again! Seriously, I was starting to doubt my ability in picking a good read lately. But then, I did start this one in the morning, flew through it, and did finish it just now!
What can I say - this friend group was really ONE. BIG. MESS! Like, seriously. There was just so much drama, and whenever you thought it could not get more crazy, it did! Reminded me a little of Mean Girls with Cady and her revenge plan. Although I felt like Rory maybe took some things too personal, and made up problems when there were none. And Celeste? A devil with an angel's face, I would say. Holy moly! A very unhinged YA popcorn thriller I can only very much recommend!
