[Paula Phillips · Rating 4 out of 5]

One of my favorite YA authors is Emily Evans as I love the fact that she takes ordinary people like you and me and puts them into situations where they end up in a wealthy or a position that they never could have imagined for themselves and in a way they earned it as well fair and square. In Prep School Experiment it starts with one of our main character Rhys's old school friends Elena confessing that she switched his test paper with someone else from their school - Thane ( a boy she liked and wanted a chance with). Back home, Rhys lives in a trailer park with his mum and her latest boyfriend. The book then jumps to the science fair where one of the characters is talking about a hurricane in the town that ended up with children being switched at birth. This leads Rhys life to change as it turns out he was switched at birth and the woman he has called the "Librarian" and gotten close to happens to be his possible birth mother. Of course, her family and her husband are very wealthy. This leads Rhys to the "prep school" where he and a few students are about to uncover some dangerous secrets - fact A) all the students are guinea pigs and being given drugs to test in the guise of vitamins. This leads to Rhys, Elena, Thane, and Kaitlin (a new friend) to go into hiding and trying to survive. Life for Rhys is about to get harder as he now must navigate staying alive, working with the discovery of a whole new family, a new school, and a whole different class of people as his new family is considered part of the 'elite' crowd. Prep School Experiment was a fun read and I loved the trope of "switched at birth".

When I started reading I had no issues with needing to go back and skim the first book to recall the story line. The first 35% of the was book ones ending with major rewrite edits. Therefore it's not until Part 3- chapter 10 book truly begins. However it was a good read. If my daughter had any say (which she does, via compromise style) it would rate 5 stars. So we meet in the middle. My 3 stars to her 5 stars equates to 4 stars.

Note to author- Macy requests more!

Decent but not as good as the first one

Good book liked the characters but I didn't like the twist or the new school felt a bit disjointed to me.

3 hours and a half to finish reading the other half part of it, what does that say? That the beginning of Prep School Experiment was a bit too long for me, kind of.

I was actually thinking of giving Prep School Experiment two stars, because I got bored, I didn't feel much with it. And then, good stuff started happening and all was right again, which is why I decided on three stars.

Even though the beginning was kinda...bleh, I still liked Prep School Experiment. I just think it too a bit too long to get interesting, or maybe it's me who was just wasn't feeling it.
The relationship Kaitlin finally got with Rhys was actually cute. Even though Rhys was being a douche with her, he managed to get things straight and move on. It was cute.

Also, the little drama we got was nice, I think it was a bit rushed though. The one happening with Rhys's family was the best, that actually brought interest in the book.

All in all, I liked Prep School Experiment.

PS: I know this review is kind of crappy but yeah, haven't got much to say.

A lot of the content was the same as the previous book

After you get through the duplicate bits it is okay, but I wish the author had figured out a way to introduce the history without actually duplicating whole pages of the previous novel.

2.5 stars. Felt like a repeat of the first but shorter & not as much to it.

Cute quick read, interesting plot. Can kind of drag on a bit once in awhile but overall I didn't mind it and enjoyed the humor.

[Patricia · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed this book but I felt cheated out of Rhys story. In book 1 he was blowing things up in this one he's learning to eating caviar . Where did this character go

[Julia · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked the first one better - would have liked a bit more of the dual POV in this one to have been in the first one to show more of Thane. Anyway - this tied to the Whenever book and cleared up the issue of why the 6 turned into 5 (one of the babies died) which was unclear in that one.
The misunderstanding between Rhys and Kaitlyn was a bit weak for the rift it caused, and the resolution between them was a little weak. She really hadn't known Rhys for more than a few weeks I think and she was trying to convince her parents to let her stay with him. Overall not a bad follow up.
