The writing, too, is decent but not wonderful. The characters are rather flat but not terribly so, and the story itself is rather unoriginal but not horrible. No part of this book is exceptionally wonderful, but it’s all good enough to pass a few hours reading it. They’re the most popular and powerful clique on campus, and, being the new girl, joining their ranks seems, to Reed, like the perfect way to finally find her place at Easton Academy. Reed will do anything to fit in with her overprivileged classmates, especially when the Billings Girls take notice of her. Reed Brennan is a scholarship student at Easton Academy eager to leave her dull suburban life, drug addicted mother, and complete lack of a social life behind in Croton, Pennsylvania, and Easton Academy looks like her ticket out. It’s not as fun to read as I would have expected, either, but it did get me hooked on the series–enough so that I’ll probably read INVITATION ONLY, book number two! It doesn’t sound like a particularly smart or original book, and that first impression would be, for the most part, correct. PRIVATE is the first in a series about a bunch of teenagers attending a posh private school in New England.
