Description Concering Books Private (Private #1)
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. 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, 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.Describe Epithetical Books Private (Private #1)

The main character, Reed, is a very sad person and I really feel sorry for her. The only reason that I finished this book is to see if she would ever stand up to her abusive boyfriend and the awful Billings girls, or distance herself from them. She never does. This book sends an unhealthy message to teen girls because Reed goes back to a boyfriend who abuses her physically and emotionally, as well as begging for friendship from girls who taunt her, humiliate her, and call her names. The issuesThis is by no means my kind of book. It's a blatant girly book, and it screams Gossip Girls. I got it as a present last year and just got around to picking it up- wanting a light read.It basically features 16 year old Reed, who moves away from her dysfunctional family to a posh, private school on a partial scholarship. Naturally, she's willing to do anything to fit in there. It really, really surprised me. I was absolutely sucked in from the beginning. I thought Reed was very likable (though she
My first re-read of this book in 10 years. I knocked off a star because it was ten times more juvenile than I remembered - the boy drama, ugh! - but it was still intense and dangerous in a really entertaining way. I would not want to go to this boarding school but seeing everything unfold - good and bad - was fascinating. I'm hoping to re-read the whole series before the end of summer. Wish me luck.
This was quite a slow contemporary story about a girl starting at a new private boarding school.Reed was an okay character, but I didnt really get where her obsession with the Billings Girls came from! One minute she was just starting a new school, and the next she just couldnt get over her infatuation with these mean girls.The storyline in this was about Reed starting at a new school, and wanting to be in a clique of girls called the Billings Girls who lived in a specific house on campus. We
Hmm. Ok. So I went into this book (for a second time) remembering absolutely nothing about this book. Keep in mind, Id only read this book a year previous, so I shouldve remembered it. It was decent, but nothing to write home about. Although I am going to continue on with the series... Im just hoping for some MAJOR character development from Reed. As of now, her character is WAY too dependent on other people for her happiness. For me personally, that is a huge pet peeve. Id like to think of
OoOoOoits starting to feel like high school again! I started reading this series when I was in high school, and my oh my was I HOOKED. I recently found this series again and figured I would relive the overly dramatic and pretentious characters that make up this wonderfully snooty tale. Its the story we all know and love, a scholarship girl comes to a prestigious academy and chases after the rich and popular preps that inhabit itand dont forget the scandals! Reed Brennan has just been accepted at
