Private by Kate Brian

      About the book: Fifteen-year-old Reed Brennan wins a scholarship to Easton Academy—the golden ticket away from her pill-popping mother and run-of-the-mill suburban life. But when she arrives on the beautiful, tradition-steeped campus of Easton, everyone is just a bit more sophisticated, a bit more gorgeous, and a lot wealthier than she ever thought possible. Reed realizes that even though she has been accepted to Easton, Easton has not accepted her. She feels like she’s on the outside, looking in.
Until she meets the Billings Girls.
They are the most beautiful, intelligent, and intensely confident girls on campus. And they know it. They hold all the power in a world where power is fleeting but means everything. Reed vows to do whatever it takes to be accepted into their inner circle.
Reed uses every part of herself—the good, the bad, the beautiful—to get closer to the Billings Girls. She quickly discovers that inside their secret parties and mountains of attitude, hanging in their designer clothing-packed closets the Billings Girls have skeletons. And they’ll do anything to keep their secrets private.

      My thoughts and opinion: It's funny how I found this series and how I started reading it. I actually saw Invitation Only (second book in this series) at the local library near my house and the cover looked very interesting. Along with that book, there were more books in the series. So, guess what I did? Yep, I checked them out. I was kind of wanting to read a series that was like the Pretty Little Liars series with suspense and drama and secrets and lies. All that wonderful stuff. Oh boy, was I surprised when I searched online to see how many books were in this series.....A LOT of books. Anyway, getting off topic. REED BRENNAN, I MILDLY DISLIKE YOU. Out of all the Billing Girls though, Noelle Lange spoke out to me the most. She has that powerfulness and leadership quality that I like. Constance is a nice girl. I kind of feel like she would be the best friend for Reed. The Billing Girls aren't that important... THOMAS IS YUMMY. When I was done with this book, I was very excited. Already the first book in the series and it is good. I highly recommend this for anyone that takes a liking to drama, suspense, mystery, lies, secrets, all in boarding schools, you know.
