Eve, ranked number one, can't ignore how everyone is suddenly talking about her looks—and her body.

Sophie, always popular and put together, feels lower than ever when she's bullied for being number two.

Nessa isn't on the list at all, but she doesn't care. Or does she?

Eve, Nessa, and Sophie are determined to get justice—or at least revenge. But as these unlikely vigilantes become fiercely loyal friends, they discover that the real triumph isn't the takedown. It's the power that comes from lifting one another up.
