Publisher's summary

An offbeat lesbian romantic comedy starring penguins, plotting, and payback.

Muffin maker Olivia Roberts has had it with her awful exes taking advantage of her good nature. The theft of her nana's beloved stuffed penguin is the absolute last straw.

She puts up an ad at her local crime bookstore for a henchperson to help her enact a little mild revenge. To her astonishment, Margaret Blackwood, the mysterious, icy, and annoyingly opinionated bookstore owner, applies.

For two clever, capable women, they turn out to be woeful at vengeance. But much to their dismay, they discover they're pretty good at falling in love!

Contains mature themes.

Laugh out loud funny!

This was a fantastic book that doesn't follow the usual troupe patterns. All of the characters were well developed and believable. Great job Lee Winter and excellent narration by Cat Gould! Excellent.

I can’t wait for more Lee Winter & Cat Gould collaborations; they are delicious fire together!!

I had a fantastic time listening to “Vengeance Planning for Amateurs,” and wow, did Cat Gould truly take Lee Winter’s words to another level! She aaaaaaaaate! 🔥

I enjoyed this audiobook from start to finish. This was my first time listening to Gould, and it definitely won’t be the last! Winter’s romantic comedy is as sharp and delightful as ever, and I’m thrilled that Gould is such an effective voice actor! Her narration truly brought the emotions to life—making me feel every moment even more deeply. Like, I found myself extra seething over Olivia’s exes (looking at you, Annalise!) and, most of all, over Margaret’s mother!

Gould’s narration elevated Olivia’s and Margaret’s vulnerabilities and their dynamic; I rooted for and cried with them even harder! 🩵

Plus, Gould’s Aussie accent made my favourite funny moments even more hilarious! I laughed with extra delight with the secondary characters, aka the Book Club Squad—the comedic spice in this romantic comedy.

In other words, Gould’s narration of “Vengeance…” made me an instant fan! ❤️‍🔥 Thus, I’m giving this audiobook my loudest recommendation! Whether you’ve read the book or not, Cat Gould’s first-ever narration of a Lee Winter book is a must-listen!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

P.S. Now I’m off to save money so I can buy another Cat Gould-narrated audiobook—Jess Lea’s “A Curious Woman.” I can’t wait to hear her performance as another formidable Margaret!!

hilariously sweet

I loved this story when I read it and love it even more when it's read by Cat Gould! you can not go wrong with this book. The spicy parts are within the last 2hrs of the book but because this story is hilariously sweet you don't mind.

Fabulous romp, wonderful characters! New fav!

A wonderful cast of characters help exact revenge in this comedic romp. This quickly became my new favorite with laugh-out-loud scenes, lovable MCs and quirky side characters, each bringing strengths to the revenge plots. I really enjoy books like this where there's so much fun plot one forgets there's also a romance happening. But the romance is so touching and lovely. So hard to put this tale down.

The narrator brilliantly performs the characters and tender moments.

Perfectly perfect!

So much goodness in this book. Fabulous characters, laugh out loud funny and so so different from Lee's other books. I want to join that book club and try all the muffins! Just buy it already!
The narration was SUBLIME!

Scott Pilgrim vs The World: Lesbian edition.
