Synopsis

Fifteen-year-old Reed Brennan wins a scholarship to Easton Academy—the golden ticket away from her pill-popping mother and run-of-the-mill suburban life. But when she arrives on the beautiful, tradition-steeped campus of Easton, everyone is just a bit more sophisticated, a bit more gorgeous, and a lot wealthier than she ever thought possible. Reed realizes that even though she has been accepted to Easton, Easton has not accepted her. She feels like she's on the outside, looking in.

Until she meets the Billings Girls.

They are the most beautiful, intelligent, and intensely confident girls on campus. And they know it. They hold all the power in a world where power is fleeting but means everything. Reed vows to do whatever it takes to be accepted into their inner circle.

Reed uses every part of herself—the good, the bad, and the beautiful—to get closer to the Billings Girls. She quickly discovers that inside their secret parties and mountains of attitude, hanging in their designer clothing—packed closets the Billings Girls have skeletons. And they'll do anything to keep their secrets private.

Oh wow! That ending. I shouldn't really be surprised given the last few cliff hanger endings but still... As much as I still dislike Reed, I found this was probably one of my favourite instalments so far. I liked the mystery in this book and the fact that we were left guessing until the end. As much......more

Well... I guess I have to read the next one, don't I? ------------------------------- Okay okay, hear me out. I know these books aren't 'good', but they are like crack to me. I love 'trashy' YA books set in boarding schools with bitchy teenage girls. I don't know why, but I do. That being said, I hate......more
