Summer Flames

Charlotte "Charlie" Dawson used to be invisible. A quiet sophomore on the fringes of the Upper East Side elite, her life revolved around studying and blending into the background in her oversized hoodies. Then, her world went up in smoke. During the last week of school, reigning queen Madison Write published a cruel "Whose Hot, Whose Not" list, leaving Charlie dead last.

Humiliated, Charlie retreats for the summer, but she doesn't spend three months licking her wounds-she spends them preparing for war.

When junior year begins, the old Charlie is gone. In her place is a sleek, confident new version, thanks to an unexpected friendship with the sharp, savvy new girl, Skylar "Sky" Sparks. With Sky as her guide, Charlie trades in her sweats for designer clothes, her books for bar tabs, and her invisibility for a spotlight she never craved, quickly growing a devoted inner circle and becoming a fixture at every exclusive party and fashion event.

Charlie has transformed from underdog to unstoppable, and her goal is simple: become Madison Write's worst nightmare.

But revenge gets complicated when she catches the attention of two very different brothers: Liam Pierce, the school's golden-boy football star and Madison's recent ex, and his older brother, Nick, the brooding, rebellious bad boy.

As Charlie walks the razor's edge between her old self and her new persona, the "summer flames" of her transformation threaten to scorch everyone around her. How far will she go for revenge, and can she climb to the top without losing herself in the process?
