Broken Hearts and Revenge series.
In the third book, a hurricane strands Gemma in the Hamptons with her best friend; her crush; two ex-boyfriends; her nemesis, Hallie; as well as Gemma's dad, who's--surprise!--just married Hallie's mom. Gemma joins forces with Hallie to break up their parents while also sorting out her own romantic relationships. This well-paced and suitably dramatic series conclusion gives its characters a fitting, happily-ever-after sendoff.

YA
Picking up moments after former friends Gemma and Hallie confronted each other (Broken Hearts, Fences, and Other Things to Mend), Finn's second installment in this ritzy Hamptons-summer-set series finds the girls still bent on mutual revenge. Through a series of schemes and pranks, their battle escalates until everyone around them is involved. Finn's quick-fire dialogue and pacing compensate handily for occasional plot implausibility.

Returning to the Hamptons after five years away, Gemma immediately encounters the former best friend whose life she nearly destroyed. But Hallie thinks Gemma is someone else (or so it seems), and Gemma decides it's time to make things right. Finn's writing is sharp and the story's tension high; the cliffhanger ending will have readers watching for the sequel.
