Why get over your cheating ex when you can get even? John Tucker Must Die meets One of Us Is Lying in a gripping, page-turning debut young adult thriller.

Senior year was supposed to be about dreams, not damage control.

Meghan's got everything going for her: top of her class, basketball star boyfriend, future Ivy League plans. Then one pep rally changes everything. Nate—her charming, untouchable boyfriend—has been dating two other girls. At the same time. And none of them knew.

Bria and Robin are furious. So is Meghan. But when Nate turns up bloodied and unconscious in the locker room after the big game, all three girls suddenly become suspects. Who knows more than they're letting on?

Now it's a race to figure out what really happened that night, while navigating a fragile alliance built on betrayal…and Meghan's growing feelings for her former rival. With the police, classmates, and their parents all watching their every move, Meghan, Bria, and Robin must figure out who to trust—and how far they're willing to go for the truth.

For readers who crave high-drama mysteries with fierce, flawed female leads and page-turning tension, The Payback Girls delivers a powerful punch of sisterhood amid betrayal and suspense.
