Perfect for you if...

  • You enjoy psychological thrillers that flip the script on who you should trust, where the villain and victim labels keep swapping.
  • You're fascinated by the publishing world and online culture gone toxic, especially stories that expose how personas crack under pressure.
  • You like unreliable narrators and stories told across multiple timelines that reveal a completely different truth in the final chapters.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer clear-cut heroes and straightforward revenge plots without moral ambiguity or twisted revelations.
  • You find stories about bullying and trauma triggering, as this book digs into both deliberately and painfully.
  • You want a fast-paced thriller that moves linearly. This one doubles back constantly to reframe what you thought you knew.

About this book

Fern's dream of becoming a published author finally comes true when her debut novel sells. She's eager to join the online community of fellow debut authors. However, her high school bully, Haven, has also landed a major book deal and will be debuting at the same time, reopening old wounds. As the pandemic moves the writing community online, tensions escalate between them. While Haven appears to succeed effortlessly, Fern watches her own career decline. Beneath their polished public personas lies a darker truth about their shared past involving a lost friend, Dani, and secrets neither wants revealed. Fern has changed since her bullying days and believes the best revenge is lived, not written. She has been plotting this for years. Their online rivalry escalates into dangerous obsession. Neither woman is telling the whole truth about what happened to Dani or about who the real victim truly is.
