Summary
Intensely voice-driven, hugely compelling and brilliantly savage, this roaring rampage of a revenge novel is a YA thriller unlike any other.
In the morning, I put on going-out makeup, and I go to Nailed It with a coffee so hot it burns my throat. The old lady gives me new nails and looks at the bruises on my neck and the scratches across my face, but she doesn’t say anything. So I point at my hair, and I say, “This color. You know what it’s called?” She shakes her head. “No.” I say, “…

Critics Review
Fierce, ruthless and unputdownable
Fierce, ruthless and unputdownable * Karen McManus, bestselling author of One Of Us Is Lying *
A tale of power and retribution - Macbeth for Gen Z * The Sun *
Post-#MeToo, novels aimed at teenage girls frequently revolve around topics of consent, slut-shaming and revenge porn. The haste to be timely can mean half-cooked ingredients, something Hannah Capin’s Foul Is Fair could never be accused of: rather Capin turns the heat up high to roast setting…wicked fun! * Financial Times *
Capin’s twisty, blood-soaked take on Shakespeare’s play is a propulsive, white-hot juggernaut of vengeance that packs a viscerally satisfying punch. * Publishers Weekly *
This isn’t a how-to-murder-your-classmates manual; it’s a ferocious, frenzied reaction to a world that has, for too long, treated women as collateral damage in stories that have been deemed more important than theirs … Jade’s first-person narrative, steeped in rage and drenched, unapologetically, with gore, moves at a relentless pace. * Booklist, starred review *
This book is not to be missed. * Paste *
Rhythmic, propulsive prose drives this bloody retelling of Macbeth at a relentless pace all the way to its violent end…impossible to put down. * Kirkus *
[A] dark, brutal revenge fantasy, sharply feminist and brimming with melodic prose. Capin’s sophomore novel is bloody brilliant - exceedingly bloody, and every bit as brilliant * Dana Mele, author of People Like Us *
Capin’s writing will seduce you with its beauty and then, when you least suspect it, slice you to the bone - just like Foul is Fair’s captivating, vicious, entirely unforgettable heroine, Jade * Layne Fargo, author of Temperand and co-host of Unlikeable Female Characters podcast *
Fierce, vicious, and electric. If books had teeth, Foul Is Fair would have fangs. Capin’s language glitters dark and her writing cuts deep. Revenge is a dish best served by this deliciously unapologetic coven * Laurie Elizabeth Flynn, author of Firsts and Last Girl Lied To *
