![]() Teens taking a break from required reading will likely find enough fun here to have them RSVPing for the next installment, Invitation Only. Reviews arent verified, but Google checks for and removes fake content when its identified. In the end, readers will connect with Reed - and all the drama she finds at Easton Academy, from discovering that her boyfriend is the school drug dealer to suspecting that the Billings Girls helped get someone expelled. Because it is written in the point of view of the main character, Reed Brennan, it makes us feel sorry for her in any situations that she gets caught up in. And she uses the popular Billings Girls to a certain degree as well, though she's not driven by materialism, but rather a deep longing to belong. The book by Kate Brian is the first of a series and is essentially about finding yourself and who you are from your greed and the people surrounding you. But she's flawed, too - when Thomas accuses her of using him, he's right. ![]() Blue-collar Reed can't wait to escape her boring hometown and her abusive, addicted mother. What sets this book a little apart is that protagonist Reed is a realistic and sympathetic character. ![]() It also has another common trapping: The debut sets up a lot of intrigue, but nothing is resolved (and it's unclear what lessons the protagonist has actually learned). This series starter has a lot of the trappings of the clique lit genre: An elite boarding school, a group of beautiful and popular girls, and lots of mean talk and pranks. ![]()
