Beschreibung

Austen's "most wicked tale," Lady Susan is a short epistolary novel by Jane Austen, possibly written in 1794 but not published until 1871. Lady Susan is a selfish, attractive woman, who tries to trap the best possible husband while maintaining a relationship with a married man. She subverts all the standards of the romantic novel; she has an active role, she's not only beautiful but intelligent and witty, and her suitors are significantly younger than she is.

    Getting Even is not a rom-com, it's an after-it-all-goes-horribly-wrong-com. (there’s really no romance except for Shug fancying the pants off Ella). 
    Anyway, ever had a laugh contemplating the most ridiculous revenge on that arse of an ex, shaken your head and moved on? 
    Not Kathy. Kathy sees it all the way through. . . 
    Kathy is thoroughly fed up of being on the wrong end of a series of break-ups, and at forty, she can safely say that she is absolutely and completely scunnered. 
    There’s only one thing for it: it’s time to get even. 
    After searching for other lovelorn souls with their own axes to grind, she masterminds the ultimate schemes to get back at their exes. What could possibly go wrong? Until . . . 
    Housemate Sheena figures out what the whole star-crossed gang is up to and has got a taste for revenge of her own. Wonder if you can guess who she enlists to help her? 
    With a large measure of deviousness and a cast of Scottish characters – including plastic surgeons and a lovable Glasgow gangster – Getting Even turns out to be quite the business!
