This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. “A guy can’t be the leading lady!”

I was never one of the boys in Bellrose. I was too soft, too pretty, too easy to laugh at. The boys called me a sissy. The girls looked at me like I was something pathetic and unfinished. And Angela Princeton—cheer captain, queen bee, and girlfriend of star jock Perry Klein—made humiliating me her favorite hobby.

So I decided to destroy her in the most beautiful way I could.

When the school announced Swan Lake, Angela thought the starring girl role was already hers. I auditioned for it anyway. And when I won, I set out to become the kind of girl no one in this town could ignore.

I studied everything in secret—makeup, posture, voice, softness, elegance. I learned how a little lip tint could change a mouth, how a tighter waist could change a silhouette, how perfume, poise, and the right look could turn ridicule into obsession.

What started as revenge turned into something hotter, stranger, and far more dangerous. With every feminine change, I became more captivating. More wanted. More powerful. More like Dana.

Soon the same school that mocked me couldn’t stop watching me. Girls wanted my beauty secrets. Boys stared too long. And Perry Klein, the golden boy who used to stand there and let Angela tear me apart, started looking at me like I was the only thing in the room.

I should have hated that. Instead, I started recording every stare, every confession, every forbidden moment, planning to use his obsession as the final humiliation. But the deeper I fell into Dana, the less this felt like a role—and the more dangerous it became to pretend I could still control it.

Because revenge was easy. Becoming myself was the part that could ruin me.
