From the author of Cracked Up to Be comes a dark new tale of high school rivalry in which vicious rumours and nasty tricks are the currency that buys you popularity or seals your fate at the bottom of the food chain.
Climbing to the top of the social ladder is hard – falling from it is even harder. Regina Afton used to be a member of the Fearsome Fivesome. And just like the other members of this all-girl clique, she was both feared and revered by the students of Hallowell High... That is until vicious rumours about her and her best friend's boyfriend start going around. Now she's been "frozen out" and her ex-friends are out for revenge.
If Regina was guilty, it would be one thing, but the rumours are far from the terrifying truth, and the bullying is getting more intense by the day. Out of desperation, she takes solace in the companionship of Michael Hayden, a misfit with a tragic past who she herself used to bully. Friendship – and eventually romance – doesn't come easily for these one-time enemies, and as Regina makes amends for her past, a bond begins to form, while threats from the Fearsome Foursome are poised to break them both.
