if you do anything, get the audiobook for this. it was spectacular.
the beginning, i'll admit, was a little hard to read because i forgot how elitist and petty the 1% can be but the tone of the novel quickly changed. this is the perfect mix between Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars, and Get Out. if you liked any of those, more importantly, if you liked the twists and surprises those gave you, than you will gobble this up.
by its end, this book tackles so many important and relevant topics and how easily it is for people to betray who they are and their beliefs just to follow "traditions"
