and I won't say that this is not the case because in fact it really is. Usually, wanting to punch all the characters in a book it is not a really good sign. What is the point of a pen name at all if everyone knows it's a pen name? This is off-topic, but one thing I don't understand is why Kieran Scott uses her pen name for some works, but her real name for her others. It is just because it is so good that I am going to be first in line for the second book. We ain't gonna get sucked in by this ploy." If the book was of a lesser quality, then I definitely wouldn't read the sequels. My rebellious side was like "Nuh-uh, hell no. I was not aware of this going into it, and was very put off by the cliffhanger ending. For all of you that are going to read it, know right now that it is not a stand alone, and that it is the first of a planned trilogy. But the one thing I did not like at all was the ending. This book is really one of the best of its kind. Maybe the whole Crestie/norms thing was a little unrealistic, but then again, I don't have any mansions around where I live. Trevor and Todd reminded me a lot of the Weasley twins. They cussed and partied without being of Gossip Girl proportions. It wasn't all about the lust, but had some heat. Jake was swoonworthy and a pretty believable guy. She stood up to the people who tormented her and was always in the game.
I liked how she wasn't all about "getting her man" and then whining about it. She was athletic and confident, while still having vulnerability. They provided a nice balance for each other. There were two narrators to this story Jake and Ally. The plot had some twists and turns I wasn't expecting, and it refrained from being gimmicky for the most part.
The writing was easily consumable, and the characters were a blast. I was sucked in immediately, and I had a really hard time putting it down. It was one of those that take you completely by surprise. The two feel the sparks, but it ain't so easy because it isn't just them in the equation. The smokin' Jake Graydon who has taken her place among her former Crestie friends. When Ally goes to visit her old mansion, she finds someone else living there. But now she is back, even though not all of her old friends are happy to see her. It's been two years since Ally Ryan's father swindled millions from the wealthiest families of Orchard Hill, and she and her family were forced to leave town in shame. I was expecting some light, two-star read. Okay, let me start off by saying how misleading the cover and title are.
