Frenemies by Alexa Young



This is the first book in the series. Its a great book about two best friends who have always been together and are finally seeing differently and spreading their wings. I think this book has a theme and a message that we have all been through and I think we all have a frenemy. This is a very quick,easy book.

Keeping the Moon by Sarah Dessen




This is an individual novel. It showcases an ex fattie, Colie, whose mother is famous aerobic queen, Kiki Sparks. She has to stay in Colby, North Carolina with her eccentric aunt Mira. She gets a job at a diner and is befriended by Morgan and Isabelle, two waitresses in their 20s. This is an excellent book, with a slow start it gives an important lesson about self confidence and believing in yourself. This is one of my favorites for sure.

Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard




The first novel in PLL series. This book is hard to explain. It starts of on the night that 4 girls and there best friend Alison were together. She then went missing. Now the girls are juniors and spread apart in different groups but one thing the have in common is that they are getting text messages from a person named A. They are being blackmailed with new secrets and old secrets that only Alison knew. This is my favorite book.

Beautiful Disaster by Kate Brian




This is the second novel in Privilege series. This is about Ariana recreating her life at the most prestigious school in the country. She has a new group of girls to become the queen bee of. She has Kaitlynn, her former best friend, blackmailing her for money. I thought this book was really good but I did feel there was something missing like a better climax.

Privilege by Kate Brian




This is the first book in the Privilege series. Privilege is a spin-off of the Private series with Ariana Osgood as the main character. Ariana escapes from Brenda T. facility and starts her new life. She has a plan to get all the money she can get her hands on and become rich and successful. Her and Kaitlynn are going to have a new life no matter who's life is at stake. This book is good, it is never dull but kind of outlandish.

Last Christmas by Kate Brian




This is the prequel to the Private series. This is the tell all book. It is about when Ariana and Thomas's love began. It has murder and qualities of a scary movie at parts. This book gives you an insight on Arianna's pov. It was a little slow to read and somewhat boring at parts. I find Reed's pov to be more interesting.

Paradise Lost by Kate Brian



This is the last book in the Private series untill September 2009. This book is when the Easton crew takes a Christmas vacation to St. Barths' after all the madness has been stopped. There Reed falls for a guy and is tormented by a group of old Billings alum. Someone is still messing with Reed though and she is pretty sure its Poppy, her new fling's old fling. And Reed doesnt want to seem paranoid but some things just make you suspicious. The ending once again is shocking as is a pattern with most Private novels. It has a slow start though. Overall this is a quick, enjoyable read.
