Pearl has never cared to be nice. In fact, pretty much everyone agrees she’s the exact opposite. Only her oldest friends – Bea, Betty, and Kat – see her better side. It’s no secret that Pearl loves to be the centre of attention, so with a starring role in the school production of Romeo & Juliet up for grabs, Pearl does everything she can to win it. Then new girl Hoshi arrives. Hoshi is beautiful, effortlessly charming, and even nice! Naturally, she immediately is cast as Juliet. A furious Pearl’s worst instincts come out and she decides to ruin Hoshi’s life. When her friends disapprove, however, Pearl must decide if sweet revenge is really worth risking all the trust she worked so hard to build with them. She just can’t get thoughts of Hoshi out of her head – and it’s not always getting even that’s on her mind.
