Heathers meets The Secret History in this thrilling coming-of-age novel set in a boarding school where the secrets are devastatingโand deadly.
When Sarah Taylor arrives at the exclusive St. Ambrose School, sheโs carrying more baggage than just what fits in her suitcase. She knows sheโs not like the other girlsโif the shabby, all-black, non-designer clothes donโt give that away, the bottle of lithium hidden in her desk drawer sure does.
St. Ambroseโs queen bee, Greta Stanhope, picks Sarah as a target from day one and the most popular, powerful, horrible girl at school is relentless in making sure Sarah knows what the pecking order is. Thankfully, Sarah makes an ally out of her roommate Ellen โStrotsโ Strotsberry, a cigarette-huffing, devil-may-care athlete who takes no bullshit. Also down the hall is Nick Hollis, the devastatingly handsome RA, and the object of more than one St. Ambrose studentโs fantasies. Between Strots and Nick, Sarah hopes she can make it through the semester, dealing with not only her schoolwork and a recent bipolar diagnosis, but Gretaโs increasingly malicious pranks.
Sarah is determined not to give Greta the satisfaction of breaking her. But when scandal unfolds, and someone ends up dead, her world threatens to unravel in ways she could never have imagined. The St. Ambrose School for Girls is a dangerous, delicious, twisty coming-of-age tale that will stay with you long after you turn the last page.
๐ญMy review๐ป
This was a just okay book for me. It was very well written, I liked the setting of it. But it was VERY slow to start , I enjoyed the ending it was great. Lots of details sometime a little confusing. But it was a good read. I guess it wasn't for me. But please check your trigger warnings before reading this book. Suicide /mental illness/ murder/drugs. Its definitely a mystery thriller.
