The Revenge Game

A feminist mystery that author Jessica Goodman called "whip-smart and lowkey hilarious", about the dark side of a hopeless romantic's seemingly perfect love story.

Play to win.

Alyson Benowitz is a romantic, and sometimes that gets her into trouble—like when she falls for boys who aren’t into her. But this time it’s different. Her connection with Brenton Riggs Jr., a star athlete at her elite prep school, isn’t just in her head. She’s swept up in her first real relationship.

Then she hears the rumors about a competition the Sullivan-Stewart guys started to see who can get with the most girls. It’s deeply disturbing . . . if it’s true. Is Brenton with Alyson for the right reasons—or is he trying to win some gross game?

And when the girls at school take matters into their own hands, things take an unsettling turn. Lies, secrets, backstabbing . . . when push comes to shove, who’ll be left standing?
