Kate O'Brien has had a rough past, filled with some fairly psychologically unstable people. As a result, she has learned how to survive. Now that she is attending a new elite prep school, she has decided to hitch her wagon to the school's richest girl. Using charm and smarts, Kate O'Brien plans to get into Olivia's good graces and take advantage of all of the perks that come along with being her friend. After weaseling her way into Olivia's life and home, the friendship begins to be tested by Olivia's secret romance with an older man. Something doesn't seem right and if Kate can't get to the bottom of it, there will be deadly consequences.
I am not a fan of the unfortunate social climbers, who seem to have no ethics. The amount of intense psychological issues found in this novel seem unrealistic. Not everyone is a psychopath. Also, I think that by relying on this heavy psychological issues, the author takes the easy way out and doesn't work to develop the villains as well.
