This was a cute sweet love story with likable main characters. I struggled a little bit to find the chemistry between them, but all-in-all I would recommend this book.
Thanks to Putnam and Sons for my ARC!

I received this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. Funny but a bit rote.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review. I have previously read Lizzy’s work and always enjoys her style. She always writes relatable strong female leads.

I love love Lizzy dent and the quirky protagonists she writes. This was a win for me. Will be reading her books from now on

This was a fun, lively read -- a romantic comedy set in the world of TV production. Amy, a talented producer/development executive, experiences one of a modern woman's worst nightmares: an ugly incident that goes viral on social media. When she drunkenly gets revenge on her ex-boyfriend/boss by trashing his Audi, it ends her promising career in New York City, and she flees to London for a reset. No one knows her shame there, and she can start anew.
Trying to rebuild her life at a British TV company, she sparks up a romance with the hunky new downstairs neighbor, who happens to be a screenwriter. When the two join forces to pitch a TV show, it's hard for Amy to keep her personal and professional lives separate. And then, when her toxic ex accepts a job as her new boss, her old life and new life collide.
The book had many laugh-out-loud moments, as misunderstandings fly and Amy digs herself into deeper trouble. Only one small quibble: Although Amy is supposed to be American, some of her dialog sounds much more British. But that's not enough to ruin a fun book.

The Sweetest Revenge is a story about a girl navigating life after public embarrassment. Amy gets screwed over by her boss/ex-boyfriend and flees the country for a fresh start. Her new neighbor Jake, who was on a reality show, “Fantasy Island” is also suffering from public embarrassment. They spend the summer working together on a script for a murder drama in the hopes Amy gets a promotion at work. Unfortunately, Chris is back in her life again and is working temporarily for her company. He’s once again in the position to screw her over! After some drama and forgiveness with the help of Jake and her family, she is able to overcome her past and ultimately gets her revenge on Chris and her happy ending with Jake. I found the story to be entertaining and kept me engaged. However, I did feel the ending was a bit rushed and would have loved more details on Jake and Amy’s future. Overall, it was a good read and I would recommend. Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Lizzy Dent is one of my new favorite authors. Her new book The Sweetest Revenge is amazing! You will enjoy spending time reading this book.

I enjoyed parts of this book and also some of the portrayals of the stories just didn't engage me so it's mixed for me.

thank you to netgalley for the advanced reading copy. I really enjoyed this and will be getting copies for my shop.

Amy made a mess of her life after a video of a very embarrassing incident went viral. She moved from New York to London to start fresh. She has an amazing new opportunity at work and a hot new neighbor who just came off a reality show. Things seem to have turned around for Amy until the person in charge of her new work opportunity turns out to be someone from her own life. The one person who hates her the most from her old life. Does she cut and run like she did last time her life fell apart or does she figure out how to stay in her new life and make the most of a bad situation?
This book hit the right spot for a rom-com. It's funny, heartwarming, and just enough romance to keep you on the edge of your seat. I enjoyed so many things about this story. Definitely a great rom-com for summer.
Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Group Putnam for the ARC of this book.

OMG she did it again!
Funny, entertaining, hilarious and sweet - how can you not love this book!?!
I sincerely hope this will become a TV show, it would be perfect. Well done, Lizzy!!

Lizzie Dent, I knew as soon as I read your latest release, I would be counting down for your next!!!
The Sweetest Revenge will make you laugh out loud as Amy (who reminds me a bit of Amelia Bedelia, a bit) muddles through her life after a disastrous revenge act she enacted on her ex-boyfriend. I feel like she needed to listen to Carrie Underwood's song "Before He Cheats". Instead, Amy climbs onto her ex-boyfriend's car and takes a sweet relieving wiz on his car. Unfortunately for Amy, her act is caught on video and goes viral.
Two years later, Amy has moved on, or so she thinks. When an opportunity at her current job arises and Amy is presented with a chance to pitch her own show again, she's determined to make it happen. However, when her ex appears at the office, Amy is forced to confront her past, while crafting a new show pitch with her very delicious neighbor, Jake.
The chemistry in this book was fun. Amy is a mess and Jake is a sturdy rock. I loved the development of their friendship and seeing them work through their miscommunications, hopes, and fears.
The cover of this photo is so appropriate for sweet, quirky, and vengeful Amy. She's going succeed and stick it to The Man.
I now need my next Lizzie Dent book, k Lizzie?
A huge thank you to PRH Audio and Putnam for granting me access to this title via NetGalley!

American Amy works in tv production and when she is screwed over by her boss and also dumped by him she gets drunk and decides the appropriate reaction to this is to pee on the roof of his soft top car which promptly collapses underneath her. It’s just her luck that in a city of millions there happens to be someone who knows her and doesn’t like her there to film it and post her humiliation on the interwebs. Obviously she must flee the country. Fast forward two years later, Amy is doing grunt work in a tiny tv production company in London when her downstairs flat is rented to Jake who has just been humiliated in front of the whole country on tv and is laying low. Amy can relate. But then! Opportunity takes a hand, Amy and Jake team up to make brilliant tv together in bid to win a pitch but no! The American ex boyfriend comes back to get his sticky mits all over Amy and her pitch.
So this follows the Lizzie Dent pattern book, woman makes life changing move, finds attractive man in vicinity, events happen they fall in love. That’s fine all good. I will happily read that. This one felt a bit slow to be honest, there is not a great deal of revenge in the end, Amy is staggeringly stupid when I comes to the American ex, I couldn’t understand why she would trust him again in the slightest after what he did but she does. I also felt Jakes story was a bit half baked. Entertaining enough but lacking bite.

From the cover to the first sentence I knew I would love the latest from Lizzy Dent! This sharp and quick book set in London about a girl who just can't seem to get it right.
Loved the chemistry between Amy and Jake and how easily they enjoyed one another's company

I really liked the writing of this, I’ve read a book from this author before and the writing is always engaging. This plot was funny and sweet, there were some parts that were quite predictable but still entertaining nonetheless. It was a satisfying ending too, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned 😜

This book killed me! It had me hooked from the beginning. I still cannot get over the way she went viral in the beginning of the book. However, the way that she pulled through and decided it wouldn’t define her is what made it for me. Then, there’s the love story mixed with the revenge for her ex. Ugh. It was so good. I definitely recommend this book for a quick and cute read!

This novel is pure enjoyment and flirty fun. If you’re looking for a fun, light rom-com, I highly recommend Lizzy Dent. I enjoyed watching Amy’s journey to get her mojo back after going through a heartbreak and subsequent social media humiliation. The relationship between Amy and Jake is fun and sexy (but ultimately stays mostly closed door). I could have done with a few less f-bombs and c words, but otherwise this was a great read if you’re in the mood for light romance.

“The Sweetest Revenge” by Lizzy Dent is such a cute rom-com. I couldn’t put it down.
The FMC felt very relatable. She was strong, messy, and everything you’d want to just root for throughout the book. The MMC was so dreamy as well. Readers will be excited to follow their story
I enjoyed every moment of this book and can’t wait to read more by Lizzy Dent.
Thank you NetGalley, Lizzy Dent, and G. P. Putnam’s Sons for this ARC.

Adored this book. This is the first book I’ve read from Lizzy Dent and it won’t be the last. Amy is a fantastic character and there were many times I was cheering for her (Audi moment) and I just knew from the first page I was going to love her. Hilarious with moments that will have you swooning.

Thank you to NetGalley and Putnam for the eARC! Lizzy Dent is an author I’ve been wanting to read for some time and I was so excited for the opportunity to read her third novel, The Sweetest Revenge, early.
This was such a cute romance between Amy and Jake, I could see why Amy was instantly charmed by him. I thought the setting of the TV development world was unique and interesting. The “revenge” was satisfying, but Amy overcoming her shame and knowing her worth was even better. This was a very quick read with fairly short chapters which is always a plus for me!
