Description
The name of the game is revenge-no matter the cost-in this emotionally charged thriller reminiscent of The Wife Between Us and The Perfect Nanny.
Kerrie O'Malley, jobless and in an unfulfilling relationship, can isolate the singular moment in her life when things veered off course-the night she was irrevocably wronged by someone she looked up to. Eighteen years later, when Kerrie sees the very woman who destroyed her life on television, a fire ignites inside her. The stakes are high. The risks are perilous. But she'll stop at nothing to achieve the retribution she deserves.
Jordana Pierson is a gilded New Yorker who appears to have it all: wealth, glamour, a successful and handsome husband, and a thriving wedding concierge business. Her record is spotless. Her business is flourishing. No one knows the truth about her and the dark shadows of her past.
No one, that is, except Kerrie.
Exploring just how far someone will go for vengeance, Pretty Revenge is a riveting, compulsively readable novel bursting with twists and turns and plenty of suspense.

Reviews / Votes
"A riveting tale of subterfuge, betrayal, and retribution set among the glittering world of New York's elite."-- Liv Constantine, bestselling author of The Last Mrs. Parrish and The Last Time I Saw You "Old wounds reopen with a vengeance in the latest from Emily Liebert, an irresistible page turner set against the glamorous backdrop of moneyed New York. Pretty Revenge twists its way through a riveting tale of blame and obsession, where revenge isn't as neat or pretty as it seems. The perfect summer beach read."
-- Kimberly Belle, author of Dear Wife "Liebert's forte is creating authentic female characters, as she does here with those in both primary and secondary roles, while building suspense by withholding until late in the book the details of just what Jordan did to Kerrie 18 years earlier. A psychological thriller with a surprising resolution." * Booklist * "Liebert's skillful character development illustrates the complexity of human motivations and encourages sympathy for unlikely characters. Aficionados of the TV show Revenge or those who enjoy contemporary psychological suspense set in an affluent society will want to consider." * Library Journal * "Liebert (Those Secrets We Keep) delivers a first-rate thriller in this irresistible tale of a wedding planner with a dodgy past and the longtime enemy who aims to expose her secrets.. Fans of Leila Slimani's The Perfect Nanny will devour this expertly paced novel." * Publishers Weekly * "A fun, twisty thrill ride about the dark side of female friendship." * PopSugar *
