Private, book 1 of 15 in the Private series written by Kate Brian, revolves around the drama of the inner circles of high school. However, this book not only portrays drama, but it illustrates mystery, romance, and thrill all jam packed into one fabulous book. The themes though out the book are loyalty, deceitfulness, and how far one will go to fit in somewhere she doesn't belong.
The main lesson in this book is that not everything that glitters is gold. Although things may seem beautiful on the outside, it's not always the same once you're in. Reed Brennan, the main character, soon discovers this after she moves from the slums of Pennsylvania to the high-class lifestyle of Easton Academy Private School. What she thought would be a school filled with perfect students, turns out to drag her through the realities of murder, drug dealers, stealing, sneaking off campus, and all night parties, all while she is still fighting to be socially accepted in her new surroundings.
Kate Brian wrote this book giving careful consideration to every detail. Her writing style kept me guessing the whole way through about the mysteries and secrets of Easton Academy. She perfectly describes what it's like to be on the outside looking in, just trying to figure out what goes on behind closed doors. Also, there is always a new twist or turn around every corner. Once I started, I couldn't put the book down and now Im on the 5th book in the series.
I can really relate to what the main character in the book is feeling because I've been the girl on the outside, looking in. When I moved here from Cave City I only knew a few people and although Batesville is only a few miles from Cave City, there are a lot of things that are different. Reed moved to a whole different state and she has to live in the school, so I can't imagine how she was feeling! I would deffinitely reccomend this book to anyone who has ever desired to be on the inside, otherwise known as any teenage girl in highschool.
