Listen up, folks! We've got a gripping new audiobook on our hands, courtesy of author Jessica Ward and narrated by the talented Gail Shalan. Now, I know we're all eager for some thrilling content, so I won't keep you waiting.
Picture this: Heathers, that classic teenage drama, meets The Secret History, that mysterious tale of secrets and consequences. Intrigued yet? Well, hold on tight because this coming-of-age novel is set in none other than an exclusive boarding school where secrets are not just devastating, but deadly.
Enter Sarah Taylor, our protagonist, who arrives at the prestigious St. Ambrose School carrying some serious emotional baggage, not just the kind that fits in her suitcase. Oh no, this girl is different from the rest. The shabby, all-black, non-designer clothes she wears are screaming that, and if that didn't give it away, her secret stash of lithium hidden in her desk drawer certainly does.
Now, let me introduce you to Greta Stanhope, the queen bee of St. Ambrose's social hierarchy. From day one, she sets her sights on Sarah, making it her mission to establish the pecking order in this school. But fear not, our resilient protagonist finds an ally in her roommate, Ellen "Strots" Strotsberry. This cigarette-huffing, devil-may-care athlete takes no nonsense and stands firmly by Sarah's side.
In an adjacent dorm, we have the dashing Nick Hollis, the resident resident advisor who becomes an object of desire for more than one student at St. Ambrose. Can Sarah navigate the challenges of her schoolwork, her recent bipolar diagnosis, and Greta's relentless pranks with the help of Strots and Nick? Only time will tell.
But wait, there's more! Scandal unfolds, and alas, someone meets their untimely end. The consequences of these events threaten to unravel Sarah's world in ways she never imagined. Is the St. Ambrose School for Girls as dangerous and delicious as it seems? You bet. This twisty, turny tale of self-discovery will keep you hooked long after you've listened to the last chapter.
So pull up a seat, grab your headphones, and get ready to embark on a thrilling auditory adventure. The St. Ambrose School for Girls awaits, and trust me, you won't want to miss it.
