I have had this series on my TBR radar for a while now so took the opportunity to start it this week with this book. My first thoughts are that I totally hated the main character but was totally hooked on the storyline. Not that the story line was any great masterpiece but essentially this book is mean girls meets pretty little liars meets gossip girl meet any other school with a boarding school for rich girls /scholarship girl trope. And yet I couldn't look away. I found the main character Reed shallow and weak and could not fathom how on earth she could trust the billings girls or Thomas and she constantly made extremely poor decisions as the story went on. That being said. As soon as I was done with this book, I went straight away and picked up book 2 and have since borrowed the rest of the series from the library. I think i might be addicted.
