Save Me by Mona Kasten
4.5

💖 Huge shoutout to Berkley for sending me a free early copy of Save Me by Mona Kasten. 

🎓💫 Welcome to Maxton Hall!

 Ruby is a scholarship student with one goal: Oxford or bust. She’s driven, focused, and not interested in distractions—until she crosses paths with James Beaufort, the rich, cocky lacrosse captain who has trouble written all over him 😏🎯

When Ruby stumbles upon a secret involving James’s sister, he’ll do anything to keep her quiet. But enemies quickly become something much more... and ohhh the tension 🔥

💖 I devoured this book!! I only meant to read a few chapters and ended up glued to the pages. The pacing is perfect, the writing flows so easily, and I loved the dual POV—especially the few peeks we get into James’s head.

👑 Ruby is a total girls' girl (my fave!), and her friendship with Lydia was one of the sweetest parts of the book. I can’t wait to see how Lydia’s story unfolds too!

✨ If you loved Cruel Intentions vibes with a boarding school twist—this one's for you.
 Also... THAT CLIFFHANGER?! I’m already reaching for book 2 😭📚
