Part 1/2
5 👏🤩🤩🤩👏✨✨✨✨✨s❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
And what a grand revenge she took!!!!!
The impact of this debut was such that it has left me stunned!!!
I'm trying to compose sentences that will do justice to the suspense and intrigue of this story. Despite its flaws, it has utterly astounded me!
The cliffhanger was intense, I will post my pov in the last part of this duet.
I would like to thank my gr friends whose wish came true! 🙏❤️
I FINALLY found an exceptional read!!!! 🤩
Moreover, thank you Thalia Nova for this awe inspiring unexpected gift!!!🙏👏
Note:
The author noted that if the themes feel too heavy or emotionally overwhelming, you can safely skip Part I and begin reading from Part II instead.
While I feel the author’s concerns, in my opinion, if part 1 is skipped the whole impact will be lost. However, the decision is yours, so proceed at your own risk.

When Ashley wakes up seventeen again, she remembers exactly how her life unraveled the first time. This time, she refuses to be the naïve girl who begged people to believe her. (…)

Ashley is not looking for justice anymore.
She wants revenge.”

I must be reading a different book than everybody else. This book was not written well at all. The plot holes in the first five chapters alone made my head want to spin. I rage read the majority of this book.
The author tells us that they live in this tiny town, but yet videos are going viral of this person and the things that happened at the wedding. I live in a tiny town, there’s typically town gossip, but nothing is going viral. It’s not that big of a deal. Sure, Jan, sure.
Then the author tells us that the heroine buys a pregnancy test, puts it in a brown paper bag and walks out the door of the pharmacy. Apparently the paparazzi are waiting outside the door of the pharmacy to take pictures of her 🙄 and before she gets home, it’s plastered all over social media that she was buying a pregnancy test. It was in a brown paper bag, how could anybody have seen it in a brown paper bag?????
Then, we’re told that the heroine goes to a hotel. She gets a notification to show up there and she thinks it’s the ex-boyfriend asking her to come. The door to the hotel room IN A HILTON, not only doesn’t require a key card but somehow is not shut all the way without some kind of mechanism keeping it open. Has this author stayed in a hotel before????? That’s not how hotel doors work.
This is literally the first six or so chapters. This book is ridiculous. I do not understand why there are such high ratings. The plot holes are everywhere, the writing is inconsistent and in my humble opinion, this book is a mess.

September 3, 2026Note for myself-
MMC slept with the FMC'S evil villain of a sister (multiple times) before he met the FMC. (Soo fcking unnecessary !!! )
And the sis even claimed her child as his.
(the FMC had even pledged to never get with a man who was involved with her evil sis in any way but still did..)
So, nfm.
It was such an anticipated read before I thankfully decided to check the reviews.

This book is a trip! So much freaking fun. The h dies after a series of really terrible, angsty AF events and then comes back to life and gets to redo things and the right the wrongs done to her. Plus revenge. I’m not big into revenge but so far have really like how things are done here. She isn’t so much getting revenge as she is thwarting the things done to her, which really works for me. She retains all the knowledge and experiences that she had during her first life.
This was riveting! I had so much adrenaline while reading! I was supposed to go bed early because I’m back at work today after spring break but I could not stop reading! The angst was soul crushing. I couldn’t way to see what would happen next. I’m so tired today lol.
I’m hoping that we get to see some growth for the h in the next book. Is she really living? She went from having a best friend and a boyfriend, really deep personal connections, to being alone. She is friends with Amy and is still friends with Peyton and Nick but nothing feels deep. Hoping for some more romance in the next book too.

I love nothing more than a good ole rebirth/revenge story. Who doesn’t wish they could go back in time to right some wrongs?
Well, our poor FMC has been WRONGED! It was difficult to read. Angst lovers will love. It’s easier to stomach the betrayals though because you know in the end FMC is going to get hers and the evil doers will get their just desserts.
Definitely recommend. On to book two!

Different, Intriguing
She gets reincarnated and sent back to when she was 17. I literally couldn't put this down. I just had to see what would happen.Apple and Marissa are something else. I would have pressed charges.
But, this story is not over. Hopefully the 2nd book is just as good.

‘Rebirth came with its own cracks. I couldn’t step back into that closeness, into blind trust. Loving people too deeply had cost me everything once.’
getting the chance to come back to life and redo everything to get revenge? that would be crazyyy. good for ashley for showing these people who they messed with, 👏👏👏😌my goodness. she didn’t deserve any of it. between her mom, apple, nick, her dad…everyone failed her. apple was so awful to her that i literally smiled when bad things started happening to her and her little plans started failing. ugh, i couldn’t stand her. and her mom?? gross. i wanted to yell at her through my screen. the revenge was soo satisfying, and i’m sure the next book will be just as good, if not better. 😎🙂↕️
‘For the first time, I felt what it was like to be wanted without conditions. Loved without being measured against someone else.’
‘And I was not letting Ashley go. Not now. Not ever.’

For some reason, the movie KILL BILL kept playing in my mind reading this book. Instead of KILL BILL- call it KILL APPLE! 🤡
I felt all the emotions, but mostly rage.
(Possible spoilers ahead)
First off, there is ZERO romance or spice in this book.
Poor Ashley. She’s the heroine, and let me tell ya, she goes through absolute HELL. From page 1 until about 30% this woman lives a nightmare.
Basically, Ashley gets accused at her BFF’s wedding of sleeping with the soon-to-be groom. Ashley already has a boyfriend that she loves very much, Nick. Nick…naturally is devastated when he finds out Ashley was cheating on him. He refuses to listen to her.
Ashley is so confused because she has no idea what’s going on. She never cheated on Nick. Nobody would listen/believe her…and her life pretty much exploded and went from bad to worse. She lost everything. THEN to top this shite sandwich off, she finds out she’s pregnant. She gets a message that Nick finally wants to talk to her, so she arrives to see Nick balls deep in HER SISTER, Apple. 😬 ohhh the pleasure this a-hole took in Ashley seeing this. Then a few weeks later, finding out Apple is pregnant by Nick. 😱 (I don’t think it ever said who actually sent Ashley this message??)
Ashley has a miscarriage and at some point, she talks with the OM (the man that she supposedly slept with) and found out all the videos and texts were faked.
If that wasn’t enough trauma, somebody then throws acid on her face. I thought for sure the poor woman was going to unalive herself at this point. Nope…worse…..she is kidnapped and trapped in a sex trade. She’s drugged daily and gRaped for years. YEARS!!!
Ofc, we get a POV from dear old Nick. He hasn’t seen Ashley in 2 years. He finally discovers that it was all a lie. This man all of a sudden gave a shite. 🤪 He decides to file a missing person report.
Around this same time, we are back with Ashley in her prison. She’s withdrawing from the drugs her kidnappers kept her dosed with. Guess who walks in the door to her room? Her sweet, dear sister, Apple. Apple is now pregnant with her dreamy billionaire (not Nick) and she taunts Ashley that she now has everything she ever wanted. Apple literally set everything up because she HATES Ashley. (We get a snippet that when they were children, Apple was kidnapped and held for 12 hours and Ashley wasn’t. It sounds like Ashley was the one who was supposed to be kidnapped) Anyway, Apple is now cleaning up her loose ends- so she stabs Ashley in the stomach ☠️ her.
Ashley then wakes up and she’s 17 years old again. 😱😱
She immediately knows everything. It’s just like when Beatrice woke up in Kill Bill. Revenge 💃💃💃💃yesssss
Revenge is a dish best served cold and boy…is that statement true. Ashley now has a few years to work/plan her revenge.
So the next 60% of the book is Ashley discovering all the secrets, and manipulating situations where it changes the outcome. Ashley does things where she actively avoids hooking up with Nick. (Can you even imagine? She really loves/loved Nick)
She starts to discover more about her garbage parents and she makes damn sure to set up situations where she won’t be broke in the future. She will have some absolutely zinger moments with Apple, that made me laugh. She will pay Apple back in little ways that make you kick your feet in glee, but you just know it’s all leading to a bigger event.
I admit, I *almost* felt a little bad for Nick at the end. I was thinking “geez it really seems like he loves her but fate is doing everything to keep them apart” UNTIL that crazy moment where he tells Ashley “but I was drugged” and then Ashley goes “the second time, too?” It took me a moment to get that. Ohhhh that dirty F’ing dog. (No insult to actual dogs) That was a shocker to me because I was conflicted about him up until then.
A random thought- imagining Ashley in her first life. She only ever had smex with Nick. Then she was repeatedly gRaped by many men for years. Now she’s in her second life- still a virgin, BUT living with the pain and trauma she can’t forget. Ugh. Her POV about all that was so sad. I’m going to be disappointed if she doesn’t get amazing dixk in the second book.
I knew when Ashley went to work for the billionaire at the end that it was probably the one Apple mentioned right before she ☠️ Ashley. I’m excited to jump into Book 2 and see how this all plays out.
I have already pictured in my head at least 200 painful ways Apple/parents need to be ☠️.

Like the best soap opera in book form!
Okay, you have to have some suspension of disbelief going into this story but what a fun ride this story was!
With a heavy start and lots of gut punches for our FMC there suddenly comes an unexpected new beginning, a new chance of a do-over. She takes this chance and absolutely SLAYS it! She learns from all her previous mistakes, loving life with a single minded purpose! I loved every single page and couldn’t put this story down! Then came the end and I realised that part 2 was already out, it was the best news ever!!!

There are parts of this book that I felt were a bit OTT, moments I just gasped and said wtf. Because ain't no way allllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll of this happened!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But I could not put it down. I never skimmed, I never closed it, I ate my lunch at my desk with my eyes glued to my kindle 😂
If you know me you'd know I hate duets 😂, most times I feel the story can be told in one book...... But baby even if this were a trilogy I'd be gobbling up all 3 expeditiously!
A review won't work here, too much happened to do this book justice in a review.
Trigger warning for rape and drugging of the h....I cried but omgggggggg what a unique story
To whoever of my GR friends that caused this to show up on my timeline THANK YOU!!
Dear author...... Write faster, only 3 books out 😭

This one suffers from the Too Much trap.
I don’t know why so many books do this now. I don’t remember having the issue 10 years ago. I did change genres. I don’t know but I wish it would stop. It’s unreadable.
The beginning of the book is unbelievable. Obviously, some outside variable is causing this crisis, so not everyone will be behaving realistically. But this was just absurd. When humans build relationships, we are slow to believe the worst in one another. Sure, there is a guilty party or two running around, but the scale lands in plot hole territory.
And really, a pregnancy? Too much. That’s not the sort of thing you add to plots like sprinkles on a cake. That sort of trauma belongs to the metaphorical salt category. Inappropriate usage is a disaster.
The characters are all too much of something. I can’t connect to caricatures. Either they were ridiculously gullible or ridiculously reactive or ridiculously sinister.. where are all the normal people who aren’t sure how they feel about things?
For me the final straw was that funeral. I have been in almost that exact position with the death of someone I loved very much. Seeing me would have caused the grieving family a great deal of pain. How fucking selfish would I have to be to push my company onto them at the funeral? I don’t know what ridiculous narrative would make a person believe that they have some ‘right’ to be there or have a conversation with a casket.
That last one is obviously just a personal hangup, but I’m the one having opinions. So it stays.
I came looking for a story like the Blackened Blade. Book 1 in that series is one of my favorite guilty pleasure books. There’s nothing substantial there, but the plot is unique and fun. Unfortunately the rest of the series has become unreadable, so here I am.
The idea is for the MC to be reincarnated into their younger self so they can do things differently. That’s just basic wish fulfillment. Why aren’t there more books like this?
Anyway, there needs to be a focus for mystery solving and revenge. The BB did this with flashbacks and the very limited outline of outrage. The reader became angry as the story went.
But in this case, it’s like the author wanted to cause outrage, but they went about it like a jackhammer. Too much all over the place.
So, this wasn’t for me. Obviously plenty of readers aren’t bothered by this tactic, so don’t let me stop you.

Gripping from beginning to end. The beginning was devastating and it lasts 83 pages, BUT it is very important to set up the second life’s choices.
Highly recommend

Unsure whether to give this a 4 or a 5...
Now, was the writing good? I mean it wasn't written like poetry. It's very easy to read, not heavy on the description of things. So if you want a quick, easy flow and don't have to think too hard this is great.
I do love me a female revenge story. Oh 🥵... Wish there was an emoji for fanning myself lol.
Justice for Nick 😭

I wasn't going to rate this till I finished book 2. I'm so so so glad I picked this up!!!
There were some brutal and very difficult scenes in the beginning. But the point of the story was she comes back and gets to change her trajectory. Still difficult to read.
Others have mentioned a twist at the end. I kept waiting for it and thinking is this it? Can't be. Then... holy fucking twist... I loved it!!!
This duet sounds soapy and is of course unrealistic, but it is so well written, the heroine is not overblown, and for every victory I was grinning and smirking right along with her.

This was sooooo good
I am really getting.into these reborn revenge books. I love the heroine and I can't wait to see what's in book 2. The Nick thing is still sad but I don't want her with him. He slept with crappy apple! I hate her and marisa. I think Marissa killed the heroines mother. And I want apple to go down!

I honestly can't believe im giving this book 3 stars. It was not well written, it lacked development of any kind. I often laughed at the far fetched scenarios that played out, yet I couldn't wait to read what happened next.

I’m just. wtf. This was
PERFECT.
I’ll reread later to highlight and relive.
I’m so excited for the second book and just.
Wow.

So this was good, until it wasn’t. I DNFd the second book at 54%. The second book’s writing was really clunky, and I didn’t like how she treated a specific character towards the end of this book who had clearly been raped. Spoilers
.
.
.
.
Her grandpa was raped the same way that Nick was, and she immediately felt horrible for her grandfather, yet blamed Nick all the way. Even when she found out he was drugged, she was like “doesn’t change what happened.” Doesn’t change that your SISTER raped him?! Be so for real girl. He didn’t do anything to you in this life. He didn’t deserve that. And of course he trauma bonded with her after, he thought that she was a fellow victim who had just lost the one good thing that he believed came from the assault. And you’re gonna be all shitty about that? Nah. That really bothered me. As did the blasé treatment of all the abuse Ashley faced in her prior lifetime.

Do not waste your money and time on this nonsense.
I had hopes that could have been a really good trope and story but with all that ridiculous and over the top drama and the wannabe „triggers „sorry it was like a fifteen year old wrote this nonsense.
I can’t believe I even managed to finish this.
I don’t care for the next book too because as I suspect the author will not let the h have her Hero untouched by her ( Bond girl villain) sister dearest.
That the new Hero will bang the sis before or after he met heroine is predictable for me and for sure sister is getting pregnant again and again bla bla bla
And then there’s the writing that’s more telling than actually writing.

I really like this one! It was such an interesting story. The main character is Ashley, and she is horribly betrayed & let down by the people she holds dearest in her life. After her untimely death, she wakes up & is 17 again, but she remembers everything from before. This time around she decides to build a different life for herself. She dodges bullets that previously crippled her, and makes choices for herself instead of others. This is apart of a 2 book series, and I already have the 2nd book ordered. I can’t wait to see how the rest of the story unfolds & wraps up!!

i can’t believe how invested i was in this book.
the first part was truly awful. what ashley went trough made me sick to my stomach, so seeing her get revenge in her next life was so satisfying. this woman became ruthless and cunning and i LOVED to see it and can’t wait to read the end of her master plan to ruin apple’s life. but i want her to have a happy ending as well.

Part 1 wasn't very well written imo, much too fast and very over the top. I was in the mood for revenge, so I kept reading. It got better after part 1. But I'm sure some readers will not make it past part 1. Not because of the traumatic events, but simply because it's not that good.
