I read this off the back of watching Maxton Hall and wanting more antsy school drama!
The story follows Whit Lancaster and Summer Savage they meet a 14 at a party and Whit tells summer that her mum is sleeping with his father. We then skip a few years later we find out Summer hasn’t had a great time and after losing her step father and step brother she moves to the very private Lancaster Prep which is owned by Whits family. Whit decided to make summers life hell blaming her mother’s sins on her however no matter how badly he treats her or tells her he hates her he just can’t get enough of her.
I felt Whit was really problematic and most of what he does to Summer is awful, however I couldn’t help routing for them and hoping they got their happy ending.
