Review by Booklist Review

In sun-soaked Miami, Ivy Hill is plotting her revenge. After years of wondering who destroyed her life, she has finally uncovered the person responsible: Lola Maxwell, a famous philanthropist and queen of social media. Ivy is still young, in her early twenties, but her childhood spent shuttling between different foster homes has made her feel as though she's lived a hundred years. Her only goal is to ruin Lola's life as Lola ruined hers. Ivy infiltrates her enemy's inner circle, with her eye on the woman's riches and her husband, too, who's a sexy doctor. But will Ivy succeed in taking Lola down, and will it be worth it in the end? This twisty thriller takes readers into a high-class, sinfully privileged world populated with characters who will stop at nothing for what they want. Williams stretches out the tension as readers wonder what Lola did to hurt Ivy and whether their shared past will be revealed. With diabolical turns and surprises at every corner, it's an ideal summer read for fans of May Cobb's The Hunting Wives (2021).
