Two decades ago, eleven-year-old Lisa was the punching bag of her Silver Bell, Arkansas sixth grade class. Mercilessly ridiculed for her looks, raspy voice, and lack of money, she lived life in the shadows without a friend in sight until her family finally moved away. But she’s never forgotten the awful way the kids in that town treated her. In the years since, she changed her name, face, and entire identity, all in the name of putting Lisa to rest.

Now she’s back as Scarlett Moss—Oscar-winning actress, national book club founder, widely known as America’s sweetheart…And out for revenge.

When Scarlett returns to Silver Bell under the guise of filming a blockbuster movie in the town, she arrives with a car full of luggage and a scheme for getting even—with the mean girls of Silver Bell, with the townspeople who turned their backs on her, even with the boy named Locke who was quietly nice to her back then but still brought the biggest heartache of all.

The only problem? Locke is still nice, he’s more handsome than she remembers, and his ever-present grin is throwing a wrench in her plans. But she won’t let him stop everything she’s already set in motion. The kids of Silver Bell might have forgotten her from way back then.

But the adults of Silver Bell will absolutely remember her now.
