Broken Hearts & Revenge

In Broken Hearts, Fences and Other Things to Mend by Katie Finn, Gemma had her summer all planned out, but it takes sharp turn when she gets dumped and finds herself back in the Hamptons after a five-year absence. Being there puts her at risk of bumping into Hallie, her former best friend (that is, before Gemma ruined her life). But, people don't hold grudges forever. Do they? Gemma intends on making amends, but a small case of mistaken identity causes the people she knew years ago-including Hallie and her dreamy brother Josh-to believe she's someone else. As though the summer wasn't complicated enough already. Can Gemma keep up the charade? Or, will she be found out by the very people she's been hiding from?

After the humiliating events on the 4th of July, Gemma's trying to grapple with the fact that Hallie knew her true identity all summer, and that she was the one who stole Teddy from her. Gemma vows revenge, but things immediately get more complicated than she planned. Her dad forces her to get a job, and the only one she can find involves scooping ice cream all day. Ford, Gemma's longtime crush, has arrived in the Hamptons, and is cuter than ever. Josh is refusing to speak to her after finding out she lied to him. And, to top it all off, Teddy is back in the picture, and closer to home than Gemma would like. Gemma and Hallie find themselves locked in an escalating revenge cycle involving everything from strawberry syrup to stolen identities. But, just when Gemma thinks she has the upper hand, the biggest bombshell of all is dropped. And, it's one that threatens to change her life forever.

WEATHER ALERT: SEVERE STORMS AHEAD Gemma and Hallie's world has come to a screeching halt. Their parents are engaged, which makes them stepsisters. Nothing in the world could possibly be worse for Gemma and Hallie-they won't let it happen. Even if it means putting their own feud aside to separate their parents. Events quickly escalate as a hurricane rips through the Hamptons leaving everyone (including Gemma's two exes, her current crush, best friend, and her nemesis) bottled up in one house. One big, miserable group of exes and enemies together allow secrets to unfold and plans to be plotted. The calm before this storm definitely doesn't exist.
