Description

It's not a pyramid scheme. It's an opportunity—for revenge.

Victoria Sterling is living her dream life in Splendor Springs, where Mormons, mommy bloggers, and MLMs reign supreme. The flawless influencer only needs one more recruit to reach the top of Puremetics, but when she targets Anna Price, she unknowingly threatens her picture-perfect life.

That's because a mistyped address sends down-on-her-luck Anna to the wrong house, crashing a meeting of the OWLS—an unlikely group of silver-haired activists. The rebel women convince Anna to enroll in Vicky's downline and help take down Puremetics from the inside.

As their worlds collide, the cracks from Vicky's past become too large to ignore. With each shattering revelation, she wonders if she can maintain the shiny facade upholding her business empire or if taking down her corrupt boss is worth risking it all.

With plenty of heart and humor, Splendid Little Schemes is a sharp and entertaining tale of ambition, friendship, and redemption.

Advance Praise

"Strong crafts a hilarious story that borders on the absurd, and she knowingly winks at the reader page after page. Still, there are moments of genuine emotion... a smart critique that asks readers to consider what separates a victim from a villain. A clever and poignant suburban fever dream."
—Kirkus Reviews

"Strong is not afraid to ruffle some feathers. The novel is bold, engaging, funny, and uplifting... The well-developed plotline surprises us with many twists and turns. It touches on the destructive influence of predators on women's lives. I loved every page of this perfectly edited novel and highly recommend it."
—Nino Lobiladze, Readers' Favorite

"SPLENDID LITTLE SCHEMES proves to be a successful feminist contemporary novel about women seizing opportunities to lift themselves (and each other) up."
