Tiffany’s motto was “good girls finish last” so she refused to get the short end of the stick when 🥷’s were passing out 🍆 and 💰.regardless of their relationship status. She didn’t care who they were and was even low down enough to share a bed with the men of women closest to her!

One word!!! Triflin!!!! Tiffany was triflin with a capital T and Kash should’ve done her even worse than she did! After the many lives she ruined, Tiffany got exactly what she deserved.

Great read, these 47 pages packed some power! Definitely a story of good ole fashion Karma! When a person has a morality level of 0 sometimes they have to be brought down a peg. The FMC in this story was very unlikable & you don’t want to miss how her karma circles back

[Toya Davis-Stokley · Rating 4 out of 5]

That heifer Tiffany done bought up all the audacity in the world, cause what the hell sis? 👀😤
She used her pretty face, and body to get whatever she wanted, but at what cost? Then the men she chose t0 lay down with were so damn close to home! Whew..... 🤬 I loved that Kash got her lick back, and now Miss Tiffany sulking alone and broke. Good for her ass! 🤷🏾‍♀️

Octavia strikes yet again!

Tiffany was a real grimey hoe!!! Because girl what the entire F! Why were you like this for real?

[Keith Book Korner · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well the title dose not do the book justice.. The Female main character is off the chain she was so extra and the drama that follows from all her exploits is crazy.. Really good book if you like Tubi type drama.. I’m totally convinced that Octavia writes for some of the Tubi shows no one can tell me different.. Her books are better than these toxic reality shows..

Tiffany was a horrible daughter, friend, mate, you name it-she was all about self. Karma definitely let her know who was in charge

[Samyra Alexander · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a price to pay

The M.C. in this story was shameless, and her antics made this a page Turner. Some readers dislike short stories because they aren’t fleshed out. However, Octavia fully fleshed out short stories and novellas and wraps everything up nicely. Good cautionary tale.

"None of this would've happened if I was more than a pretty face with no substance."
Tiffany got what she deserved.

[Rhina M. Finley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Scandalous!

Another 5 star story from Octavia Grant! Very Scandalous whew the main character got what she deserved!! She was something else. You reap what you sow!

[Danielle Marcia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Deceitful and scandalous....karma doesn't play favorites!

[Fatimah · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a quick & crazy read. Using your looks can only last so long. Tiffany was so self centered, she didn’t care about anyone but her self & what she could get from people. Using people never ends up ending good. If you are a nasty mean person, eventually the inside is going to match the outside. Tiffany got exactly what she deserved…

She did the most...

One thing i wanted was more sex scenes lmao. This had me hooked from beginning to end. A good quick read that made me wonder what was happening next.....my question is will her ass get that surgery. What happens to this hoe next????

[Latiqua Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

When a pretty face is all you have

Tiff was one foul individual. She got exactly what she was looking for. Her looks was everything to her and she lost that.

[Tanakia Harris · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was just enough to draw you in and finish it out. A good book for a stand alone straight to the point. I liked it.

[warterry barlow · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beauty means nothing if it is only skin deep.

Great book but toooo short. I actually felt sorry for the star of the story. But then again she didn't deserve my sympathy or anyone else's. This novel definite calls for a sequel. I can't imagine how any woman could have ABSOLUTELY no scruples. Causing pain and hurt to everyone who loves you is a recipe for disaster. After all Pay Back really is a B.

tiffany rollins has the face and body to get whatever she wants, and she doesn’t care who she has to step on to get it. but when she crosses the wrong person, her looks can’t save her anymore.
tiffany got exactly what she deserved lol. i couldn’t believe almost every man she was tangled up with had some type of involvement with another woman in her life — she is just sick. this was another twisty, turny octavia read that deserves a good sit down.

Point Received

Story line kept me interested. Seemed a little stretched and out of place preachy to get her point across, but I get it. There are many women AND men who look good on the outside but are disgusting, filthy beings on the inside. Tiffany had what was coming to her. 4 stars because too many editing errors that made it hard to follow many times.

[Lourdes · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book had me shaking me head so many times. Imagine you are confiding in your best friend of 15 years about your man cheating on you and doing you dirty only for one of the people he’s cheating on you with to be your BEST FRIEND. Yes you read that right!!!! The lick back in this story is absolutely crazy but well deserved.

[Kiki · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you haven’t read Octavia Grant what are you doing!? I love her brand of thriller/suspense mixed with urban in some cases and always giving the black experience. This is a classic story of pretty girls having an expiration date! You have to have something to back up all that pretty. This book is a messyyyy ride! Short, sweet, wild!

Just wow 😮. Once again, Octavia Grant does her thing with these quick and unhinged books. Tiffany Rollins got actually what she deserved in the end. The ways she betrayed her mom and her friends were just wrong. Tiffany was just a pretty face, but deep down she was just an ugly soul. Now she has to live with the only person she has left in the mirror.

[EnJae Rose 🥀 · Rating 5 out of 5]

promiscuous or scandalous?

Chileeeeeeeeeeeee, Tiffany is a piece of work ! I don’t think she understood that her actions can & will cause her some major damage. She reminds me so much of Nikki from Body Count by Octavia Grant, but Tiffany was worst than Nikki. Pure evil with no remorse.

5/5 ⭐️
3.5/5 🌶️

Hoe-ism at it's Finest!

Mannnnnn, this author sure does know how to write about these hoes and the consequences of their actions. A quick tale of sex, disloyalty, and karma. Be careful of these chicks that know all the words to Sza's Weekend song. Them broads can't be trusted. Lol

[Crystal · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good short read

Did she really say momma, girl Stop! lol
That’s why you have to surround yourself with people who have the same values as you, but she caught a real one at the end.

[Shunita O · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yasss…. she got what she deserved

While reading this book I had one thought, karma better be waiting in the shadows for her. Tiffany was so scandalous and I am so happy Kash knock the Mario coins out of her. She deserved that ass whooping and more.

[R Ellis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Karma is b”&$;!!!!

Wow Tiffany was so scandalous it’s a shame, I think she got just what she deserved because she could’ve lost her life
