CW: rape, suicide, domestic abuse

Foul is Fair is a fever dream of a revenge story. It’s wild, intense, and never takes itself seriously enough to put it over the edge. 

Jade, Jenny, Mads, and Summer are best friends who wield their power of beauty and mystery with skill. Intent on enjoying every moment of Jade’s sweet sixteen, the four girls crash the party of a student at an elite prep school. But their night of celebration quickly turns into horror when Jade is drugged and raped. 

Jade will not be a victim.

Jade will kill them all. 

Her coven will seek vengeance.

I loved every wild minute of this intense and emotional novel. Jade constantly refers to her tight group of best friends as her coven, but they are a coven in name only. Seeing their beauty and intelligence as their power, the girls use the gift of cosmetics and technology to set a trap for the golden boys of St. Andrews Prep. Jade’s parents are wealthy enough to get her transferred to St. Andrews and after a new hair color, hair cut, and some colored contacts,  she quickly gets herself in the middle of the clique that runs the school. Not only is she immediately accepted by the most popular girls, she is dating one of the boys involved in her assault. Her ability to channel her rage and pain to carry this out is pretty amazing to watch. 

The way in which these teenagers believe they rule the school is a testament to the amount of hubris and ignorance teenagers truly have. There is no way any teenager would get away with what these kids did but that’s part of the fun. 

Through a carefully choreographed set of text messages sent by Jade’s coven, the group of boys who assaulted Jade begin to question each other’s loyalty and those cracks lead to extreme violence. 

If you’re looking for a wild ride that is full throttle from beginning to end-this is your book! I loved it and couldn’t recommend it more.
