The Best Revenge (Preorder 11/24/26)

Beach Read meets Bridget Jones’s Diary with a fun jilted-lover-gives-just-deserts twist. When an aspiring novelist discovers her boyfriend stole her book idea, she plans revenge by writing a more successful book, finding new love, and giving ‘Chad’ just a little comeuppance.

This book is a wickedly funny romantic comedy. Librarian Hannah is furious when her freeloading boyfriend Chad steals her book idea, leaves her for his agent, and becomes wildly successful. She teams up with other women Chad has wronged (and there are a lot of them!) to get revenge—just a little comeuppance.

Unfortunately, Hannah has to hide this from her hunky new Scottish love, James, who claims to hate revenge plots of any kind. But it gets harder to hide her increasingly elaborate plans—even as he hides his complicated past—and everything goes hilariously wrong

Pitched as Beach Read meets Bridget Jones’s Diary it has:

• A jilted-lover-gives-just-desserts twist
• A delicious book about books element
• A gorgeous Scottish hero
• An annoying antihero named Chad
• A smart, snarky librarian heroine, and
• A fun meta romantic wink
