The synopsis wasn't wrong when it said Get Even was similar to Pretty Little Liars, especially the TV show version. I swear I felt like I was watching an episode, or two, of Pretty Little Liars while reading this. Not only do you never really get a substantial clue as to "whodunit", tons of secrets come out, outlandish events occur, and bits of angsty teen romance ensues. But I'm not saying all this to point in the negative, quite the opposite. The on-going mystery, teen drama, and interesting characters kept me highly engrossed in the book. 
 One thing you need to keep in mind while reading this is that you need to forgo reality. Some things that happen in the book can be realistic in a way, of course, but most of what goes on was created for dramatic effect and way too theatrical to be called real life. It gave me the feeling of wanting to grab a tub of popcorn and watch wide-eyed and giddy as all the drama unfolded. So many twists and turns along with a smooth, fast pace made this book very absorbing. 
 I really liked all the fledgling romances that were growing between each girl and their respective love interest. I'm partial to Kitty and Donte, who had such a cute thing going on, before all the drama that I knew was going to blow up in their faces. Margot and Logan weren't bad either. Honestly, each girl had certain qualities that appealed to me and made me want to get to know them more. They're all very different and you wouldn't expect these girls to actually get along, but they made it work. I'm curious as to how it all began and I didn't feel like I got enough of an introduction to it all. It was crazy when all their big secrets came to light though and I'm sure there are plenty more where that came from. 
 Other notable characters would be Coach Creed. Ugh, I could not stand him in the slightest. Talk about a jerk of a character. He definitely played the part well and I thought it was a bit absurd at times how dramatic and over-the-top he was. It definitely added to the entertainment. Father Uberti wasn't so great either. Also, "Ed the Head" was such a hilarious character, I really liked him. 
 So even though Get Even was extremely akin to PLL or even a soap opera, right down to the riveting ending posing as a "big reveal" that left readers with more questions than answers and the mysterious puppet master who knows all their secrets and taunts them with it, it shines in how overly fascinating its characters and secrets were. It has that guilty pleasure appeal that you know is ridiculous, but you love watching/reading it anyways. I'm sure if it dragged on as far as the TV show has, readers would be frustrated, but for now, I'm just intrigued. Everyone's a suspect and don't expect any answers, just plain old fun with this one! 
 Thoughts on the Narrator 
 This was my first time listening Tavia, but I have to say that I really enjoyed her voice. It was very easy to listen to and, I want to say, soothing, somewhat. She has a nice voice and narrated with a certain air of mystery, which fit perfectly with the tone of the book. However, it was difficult to distinguish the girls at first. Even though voices were distinct enough during dialogues, inner monologues tripped me up in the beginning. Eventually though, as I got to know the characters, I was able to effortlessly tell them apart, so this aspect didn't bother me too much. Tavia did a great job at portraying the male characters, which is always a crucial component of what makes an excellent narrator, in my opinion. I can't tell you how many times a narrator attempted, and failed, to voice a member of the opposite sex and it just comes out wrong or ridiculous and basically ruins the listening experience. Thankfully, that didn't happen here.
