An alliance built on revenge

On the postcard-perfect Jar Island, three girls with separate grievances form a pact to act on what each cannot manage alone. Kat wants to answer the bullying of a former friend; Lillia means to intervene after learning a friend has been secretly involved with her younger sister; and Mary is still affected by a traumatic event and the boy she holds responsible. Their shared plan places friendship alongside retaliation, with the island’s polished tourist setting framing conflicts that are personal and close to home. The book opens a trilogy centered on what these girls choose to do together.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teen and young adult readers interested in friendship under pressure.
  • Readers drawn to stories about revenge, bullying, and complicated loyalties.
  • Those looking for a contemporary story set in a beachside tourist community.

Book overview

Payback is paradise in this start to a trilogy from New York Times bestselling author of To All the Boys I've Loved Before (now a major motion picture!), Jenny Han, and New York Times bestselling author of The List, Siobhan Vivian.

Postcard-perfect Jar Island is home to charming tourist shops, pristine beaches, amazing oceanfront homes--and three girls secretly plotting revenge.

Kat is sick and tired of being bullied by her former best friend.

Lillia has always looked out for her little sister, so when she discovers that one of her guy friends has been secretly hooking up with her, she's going to put a stop to it.

Mary is perpetually haunted by a traumatic event from years past--and the boy who's responsible has yet to get what's coming to him.

None of the girls can act on their revenge fantasies alone without being suspected. But together...anything is possible.

With an alliance in place, there will be no more "I wish I'd said..." or "If I could go back and do things differently..." These girls will show Jar Island that revenge is a dish best enjoyed with friends.
