Book Review: Revenge, Ice Cream, and Other Things Best Served Cold


Written by: Chloe Maher

Morgan Matson’s Revenge, Ice Cream, and Other Things Best Served Cold trilogy, written under her pseudonym, Katie Finn, is perfect for fans of sunny stress-free days. It takes place with a premise akin to that of Nantucket Blue, albeit in a beautiful little seaside town rather than Hamptons. The main character, Gemma, is absolutely heartbroken; her practically perfect, social justice warrior boyfriend, Teddy, breaks up with her out of nowhere. To make matters worse, Gemma’s mother and stepfather travel to Europe for the whole summer and forget to invite Gemma. She is stuck slumming it in the Hamptons with her screenwriter father and his insane producer boss, best friend, and perpetual dieter. However, when Gemma sets off to the Hamptons she encounters Hallie James, whom she was once best friends with but cruelly betrayed when the pair were children. Gemma immediately feels overwhelmingly guilty as her sordid past comes rushing back. It doesn’t help that Hallie’s older brother is all grown up and Gemma’s looking to get over her ex. She assumes the name of her best friend, Sophie in the hope that she can somehow make it up to Hallie by being a good friend to her, as Gemma knows Hallie absolutely wouldn’t speak to her if she knew who she really was. Little does she know, Hallie isn’t as clueless as she seems. The series depicts family dynamics and the duo’s numerous trysts as they try to get the best of one another, getting them both into the most ridiculous situations. Pure fun and drama, it’s definitely recommended for fans of Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars.
