This book was pretty good im not going to lie but definitely not great. I expected better from the author I've read many books by this author and not a single one disappointed me till now.
Let's start off with a blurb:
Marnye won a very prestigious scholarship to berberry prep, they tell her no one will know she's the scholarship recipient but before people even know her name they know they don't like her simply because she is poor. Classic rich people, although not everyone is horrid. Marnye knew what to expect a school is still a school and if anything rich kids will be much worse than the poor. Education doesn't always breed manners but Miranda is there to keep her out of trouble and give her all the details of the inner workings of the school. Marnye quickly makes enemies out of the three boys you don't want to mess with. Before she knows it things are a mess and a horrid bet is placed behind her back. Whoever can make her fall in love with them first wins and the only loser is Marnye.
--Spoilers below --
First, off I didn't realize they's be so young 15 for crying out loud. They acted at the very least like 17 with all the party's, drinking, fucking any girl willing, people getting engaged for money AT FIFTEEN!!!
It didn't make sense to me, not to mention this infinity club you're going to do some secret society esk type shit then maybe make it a little more secret. Definitely don't get tattoos, if the rich are using other rich people for connections and shady shit maybe don't have a brand on your skin that serves as proof.
Marnye was quite frankly full of shit half the time but her actions do fit into her previous behaviour but if she actually falls in love with them by the end of the series in a HEA I'm going to need some serious revenge and redemption/ character development for both her and the guys.
Also am I the only one to notice she broke her promise when she told Miranda that she was the one who told Creed that she was gay, he explicitly told her when he won the second round of poker that Miranda was not to know that Marnye told Creed who she was dating. What they did at graduation was not about her breaking that bet so did they just forget??? or did the author let that detail slip.
I understand that this book is a building block book for the second which will (hopefully) be much better but I'm still a little skeptical if I didn't like this specific combo of RH, academy, bully/ enemies to lovers, I would not be reading this.
I'm not sure if I can say id recommend this book till after reading the second one. 3 stars.
