onceuponanisabel 's review for:
Foul Is Fair
by Hannah Capin
This was an insane, thrilling read, and I have trouble describing how I felt about it. The prose is gorgeous and the anger is palpable and I was reading this in my bedroom at ~2am and I was actually getting kind of freaked out by the combination of this book and the dark. I loved the idea of the story: a girl who is raped gets her revenge on the boys who attacked her.
But the execution was a little off for me. This is one of those books where every character is incredibly smart but also subtle, which means that every conversation has about three layers and everybody has these very complicated plans for themselves and everyone else around them. While this makes for a fun read most of the time, it's also not even a little bit close to how people (and especially high school students) are.
