REVIEW
Henley is heading to college with a plan. Her best friend died of cancer and left her with an unfinished bucket list. She is going to finish that bucket list and do what her friend couldn’t. Getting revenge on Lincoln Kolb should be easy for Henley, after all he’s the jerk who broke up with her best friend when she found out she was sick again. Catching his eye is easy, getting him to fall for her is working beautifully, but what Henley didn’t realize is that getting to know Lincoln might make her see a different side of him. She’s ready to do what it takes to break his heart, but the more time they spend together she has to ask herself; will he break hers too?
Wow. This book was more than I thought possible. I absolutely loved the loyalty that Henley had for her best friend even in death. Unorthodox with the bucket list? Yes, but that fierce loyalty is something that not everybody experiences at such a young age. You could feel her love for her best friend, and I truly felt like I could feel what Henley was feeling when she was trying to figure out what to do. Just wow, honestly, that’s a terrible word to describe the magnitude with which this book hit me, but it was such an amazing book. ‘Fool Me Twice’ dives deep into your emotions and watching Lincoln and Henley come together and be vulnerable with each other was amazing. This entire book was so beautifully written, and the push and pull between Henley and Lincoln was palpable. Carrie Aarons isn’t messing around; she’s kicking off the New Year with a freaking bang!
Check out the gorgeous cover for Fool Me Twice! This revenge romantic comedy from Carrie Aarons releases on March 12, and man does it pack the heat and heart! You’re going to want to get your hands on this college romance, I mean just look at that blurb!

When my best friend died of cancer just before her eighteenth birthday, she left her coveted bucket list to me.
The things she already crossed off? Skinny dipping, going to Paris, completing the local hot wing challenge, road tripping to the ocean, and sending out a message in a bottle.
So, it falls on me to finish it for her, to honor her memory. In the next year, it’s my mission to:
1. Dye my hair
2. Have sex
3. Camp out in a tent
4. Go bungee jumping
5. Get revenge on Lincoln Kolb
Most are doable, some terrify me, and then there is the last item on the list. When the raven-haired football god dumped my best friend during senior year of high school, she was devastated. The jerk with charm for days found out she was sick, and betrayed her in the worst way possible.
But he doesn’t know me, I went to went to school a town over. Now, to fulfill my promise, I’m the newest freshman on the campus where he is the big man. If there is one thing, aside from cheap beer, that a jock can’t pass up, it’s a shiny new girl.
So when I catch his eye, play hard to get, and then fall into his bed, I know my scheme is working to perfection. But what Lincoln can’t see coming is the beatdown I have planned for his ice-cold heart.
Unfortunately, what I never saw coming was the one he had planned for mine.
