What this book is about
Sugar Beth Carey was beautiful, rich, and deliberately cruel in high school — the queen bee who made everyone's life worse. Now she's broke, divorced, and forced to return to Parrish, where everyone she tormented is waiting. The man she hurt worst has moved in next door. Phillips's contemporary romance is funnier and more self-aware than the premise suggests, with a heroine who must genuinely reckon with past cruelty rather than being simply misunderstood.
