Tradition, Honor, Excellence.and secrets so dark they're almost invisible 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. Over all though, very impressed with this one. I fail to see how an ''I'' goes without being capitalized, or how sentences can be missing fairly vital words. The mistakes throughout were just ridiculous. I would, however, like to know what Brian's editor was on while going through this one. I'm not a major fan of the cliff-hanger ending, because I'd love to see what happens next, but it's a long series and I'm not sure I really want to read it. I thought Reed was very likable (though she could do with not changing her mind so often) and the plot kept me wanting to read more. I was absolutely sucked in from the beginning. Naturally, she's willing to do anything to fit in there.
It basically features 16 year old Reed, who moves away from her dysfunctional family to a posh, private school on a partial scholarship.
I got it as a present last year and just got around to picking it up- wanting a light read. It's a blatant girly book, and it screams Gossip Girls. And they'll do anything to keep their secrets private. She quickly discovers that inside their secret parties and mountains of attitude, hanging in their designer clothing-packed closets the Billings Girls have skeletons. Reed uses every part of herself - the good, the bad, the beautiful - to get closer to the Billings Girls. Reed vows to do whatever it takes to be accepted into their inner circle. They hold all the power in a world where power is fleeting but means everything. They are the most beautiful, intelligent, and intensely confident girls on campus. She feels like she's on the outside, looking in. Reed realizes that even though she has been accepted to Easton, Easton has not accepted her. 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.
