The following quotation (below the line) is from the PageADay Book Lover's Calendar for 1/5/12. When I saw the term "Prep-school girls ..." I figured I needed to share it with this group. I joined just to share this short review. I'm not particularly interested in books about prep-schools, and I'm not volunteering to be a reviewer. (sorry to be such a spoil-sport) _______________________________________ SCHOOL DAY Prep-school girls are a dangerous lot. Nina de Gramont adds to the genre of coming of age among the elites with her dark and beguiling tale. Think Prep (by Curtis Sittenfeld) or The Secret History (by Donna Tart). Outsider Catherine Morrow gets taken under the wing of rebel queen bee Skye Butterfield, and the resulting drama is fierce, fragile, and unforgettable. “I inhaled this novel in one breath,” said Jacqueline Mitchard.
