SYNOPSIS: (From Goodreads)

Rory Wilson and Celeste Markham are friends. Or that’s what everyone thinks. Their boyfriends are co-captains of the soccer team, they hang out with the same group, and they’re even going to the same college in the fall. The truth is, they’ve been secretly sabotaging one other since middle school, and the only thing keeping their frenemy-ship from total destruction is that they each know the others’ darkest secret.

When Rory spies her boyfriend hooking up with Celeste, the endgame begins. Now she has plans to finally get Celeste exiled from the friend group so she no longer has to play second-best to the insufferably perfect Celeste. It’ll happen at the beach house where the entire group is kicking off the summer with a week of chilling by the pool, partying, and—if Rory plays her cards right—shocking revelations that will turn everyone against Celeste. She has a plan, and it’s going to work. No matter what it costs her.

But taking down a frenemy is no easy task, and Rory’s not the only one in the house bent on destruction. Either Celeste is even more devious than Rory realized, or someone else is stealthily playing the circle of friends against one another. As a storm strands them all in the house, tensions rise and the dangers escalate. Rory doesn’t know whether she’s the target of this secret revenge, or if Celeste is. Will she be the one to end up dead? Or the one left without an alibi?

REVIEW:

I read Roselyn Clarke’s Now She’s Dead earlier this year, so I was excited to pick up another one of her YA thrillers. I’ve Got Plans for You had a similar feel, with plenty of secrets, suspicious characters, and twists to keep me guessing. The story follows Rory and Celeste, two supposed best friends who have secretly been sabotaging each other for years. When their rivalry escalates during a trip to a beach house, things quickly spiral out of control!

One thing Clarke does really well is make you question absolutely everyone. There was so much manipulation, backstabbing, and drama that I never quite knew who to believe. Just when I thought I had something figured out, another secret would come to light and make me reconsider everything. I really enjoyed that aspect of the story, and it definitely kept me wondering what was going to happen next.

That being said, these friendships were absolutely ridiculous! LOL. I don’t think there was a single healthy relationship in the entire group. The constant scheming and manipulation occasionally felt a little over the top, and some of the drama became repetitive. I enjoyed the mystery, but there were moments when I wanted everyone to just grow up and stop being so terrible to each other!

Overall, I’ve Got Plans for You was an entertaining, twisty YA thriller. Clarke certainly knows how to keep readers guessing, and I enjoyed trying to figure out everyone’s secrets and motivations. While it didn’t quite earn four stars from me, it was definitely better than an average three-star read. I’m settling on 3.5 stars and will happily pick up another mystery from this author!
