Ada Louise Martin just wants to make it through her senior year of high school. But with the constant struggle of trying to deliver at the top of the class, her family that's maybe moving to the other side of the planet, and the fact that her oldest and strongest friendship is falling apart, it isn't the easiest task. And, as the cherry on top, is her life-long arch-rival Elliott really a bad person? Is there something more to it? The anthem of the overachiever: There's only one way to go from the top of a hill: down.

She was captivated. She was competitive. She was stubborn. She always got what she wanted. But laying her eyes on her best friend's brother was the biggest mistake. = = = Althea Vasilakis was an exceptionally smart student at New York University who had completed every subject with ease and earned several awards at the age of 19... but it seemed like even the most ingenious people can fall into the trap of their emotions. These emotions seemed to revolve around the handsome sports star Rafael dos Santos who was ultimately unfaithful... or at least, that's what Althea thought. Popular, extroverted, and perfect-looking, he carried all the qualities that masked the crimes no one would ever suspect. She was ready to make his life a living hell, whether by obliterating his team in their college volleyball rivalry, exposing his shady businesses, exploring a side of him no one could've ever imagined the popular sport star had, or even calling him stupid pet names. She sought only one thing: revenge. = = = Warnings! - Sexual content - R-rated language - Drug use - Brief mentions of: kidnapping, illegal trafficking and murder.
