Kerrie O’Malley, jobless and in an unfulfilling relationship, can isolate the singular moment in her life when things veered off course—the night she was irrevocably wronged by someone she looked up to. Eighteen years later, when Kerrie sees the very woman who destroyed her life on television, a fire ignites inside her. The stakes are high. The risks are perilous. But she’ll stop at nothing to achieve the retribution she deserves.
Jordana Pierson is a gilded New Yorker who appears to have it all: wealth, glamour, a successful and handsome husband, and a thriving wedding concierge business. Her record is spotless. Her business is flourishing. No one knows the truth about her and the dark shadows of her past.
No one, that is, except Kerrie.
Exploring just how far someone will go for vengeance, Pretty Revenge is a riveting, compulsively readable novel bursting with twists and turns and plenty of suspense. (Courtesy of Amazon.)
What is a favorite compliment you have received on your writing?
That it’s funny. Stand-up comedy is a big bucket list item for me. I have serious respect for people who can get up on stage and be completely vulnerable in that way.
Which authors have been inspirational to you?
The ones who have stayed the course and also support other authors. Jane Green, Emily Giffin, Elin Hilderbrand, and Sarah Pekkanen, to name a few.
If Pretty Revenge were made into a movie, what are some songs that would be on the soundtrack?
“Born to Run” by Bruce Springsteen. Not only is it one of my favorite songs, but it fits very nicely with the theme of the book. “Lightning Crashes” by Live, because it is my favorite song. And “Arthur’s Theme” by Christopher Cross (When you get caught between the moon and New York City) for a very specific scene toward the end.
What is the last movie you saw that you would recommend?
I don’t watch movies. I can’t sit for that long without talking.
What is your biggest pet peeve?
Entitlement.
How will you be celebrating the 4th of July this year?

I believe I have gotten the "revenge" I needed by finding a wonderful, loving man and having a beautiful family and living a good life despite the challenges of my childhood.
I didn't have to get "revenge", it came about on it's own. The wrong that was done to me, was also done to him, plus my life got a lot better and I'm not sure about his.

What makes me feel pretty is going to the hair dresser and getting a hair cut and style. I have never taken revenge on anyone. Thanks for this amazing chance.
I am still working on revenge which is an ongoing problem and has been for years. I never feel pretty.
I would sometimes like to take revenge on my ex but haven't yet!
A fresh hairstyle, manicure and pedicure and wearing a dress make me feel pretty.
I have never gotten revenge on anyone
I'm not really a revenge kinda gal. A good haircut makes me feel pretty.
I don't believe in vengeance and a healthy glowing complexion makes me feel pretty.
A manicure and pedicure always makes me feel pretty.
No I don't do that.
Anything that is pampering and relaxing makes me feel pretty eg a manicure or pedicure!
The best revenge is to have a happy life.
no
I am not a vengeful person. I don't ever feel pretty either. Just OK.
I’m not a vengeful person....I guess I feel pretty when my hair is long and blonde from the salon! It hasn’t been like that for a loooong time though
I usually don't waste any more time on people who have already wasted my time.
I always feel pretty when I get dressed up and wear makeup.
I don’t believe in getting revenge. (It’s lots of fun to read about though.) I feel pretty when I know the answer to difficult problem.
Getting pampered makes me feel pretty!
What makes me feel pretty? When I take time to do my hair and makeup. I love fashion so putting together an out fit makes me smile as well.
Love to paint my nails and creating designs on them.
