WRONG GIRL
Vivian Sparks was never meant to be the center of attention. She was the smart, invisible girl-the one who spent more time daydreaming than actually living. But one reckless night changed everything. First came the kiss. Then came the party. Then came the lies. Suddenly, Vivian isn't just another face in the hallway-she's the girl caught between Leo, the golden boy she's always dreamed of, and Shawn, the one who sees the real her. But love triangles aren't her only problem. Her best friend Miya feels betrayed, Tiffany is hiding bruises and a secret that could destroy her crown, and Vivian herself is spiraling into a version of popularity she never asked for. Secrets burn. Friendships crack. Hearts break. And when everything finally shatters, Vivian will have to decide: does she want to be seen by everyone, or truly loved by someone? This isn't just high school. It's betrayal, heartbreak, lust, and redemption. It's the story of how one girl lost everything fake, only to find everything real.
