Prep School Confidential - Kara Taylor
This has a premise that says that it is like Gossip Girl meets Twin Peaks, both are programs that I have watched and really like. So, I was all in, and pleasantly surprised just how good it really was. It starts with a bang. Anne has accidentally set her school on fire, and has now been sent off to a new boarding school. But this is a school for the sons and daughters of some pretty powerful people. Anne roommate is found dead, and the rumors start to fly and accusations begin of who did it.

Anne is one snarky girl, she’s rebellious, and makes some awful choices and gets herself into some iffy situations. Anne is so indecisive when it comes to guys, I just wanted to pinch her, but she is one of those characters that I just couldn’t help to not like. Maybe it is the rebelliousness in me too. There are some secondary characters that were pretty good. Very cliche, but this is boarding school, and you have the “in cliques” and the not “not in cliques”. Of course there is a love interest for Anne, or shall I say two love interests. Both were the hot, bad boy type, but they good guys underneath it all, so either way she went, it was okay with me.

The story revolves around the murder mystery of Isabella, Anne’s roommate. It seemed that everyone had their own ideas of who committed the murder, and with Isabella not being all that popular, it was like no one really cared who really did do it, they just wanted to gossip about, but not Anne. She tried to find the truth, and did some growing up along the way too. I can honestly say that I didn’t figure out who did do it till it was revealed, I was just having fun reading, following the clues. There was cover ups exposed, and secrets revealed. I enjoyed reading this one for sure.

Prep School Confidential is a fun mix of self discovery, a murder mystery, interesting characters, and romance too. It was definitely one of those that once I started it, I just didn’t want to put it down. Fans of boarding school, and contemporaries will enjoy this, I know I did.
