Review Detail

Reader reviewed by K. H.

This book is very much like "Prep." Too much in fact. I think the writer was trying to hard to write like Gossip Girl & Prep combined with a bit of the Clique thrown in. It's an ok book, but why must all boarding school books throw some creepiness into the mix? They all hint that all girls' schools invite the girls to experiment w/being gay, and that scholarship students might as well be invisible outcasts.

I liked the drug dealing boyfriend in the book, because that to me was very real-the rich guy trying to rebel. I saw a lot of that where I went to school, but their relationship didn't feel real to me. also, I kept wondering if she'd worry about getting pregnant & that didn't happen, which seemed odd since she was bascially taken advantage of.

All in all, a good read, but too much like so many other books on the market for it to stand alone.
