Aspiring reporter Piper
Baird decides to write a scathing exposé on the overprivileged students
at an elite Washington, DC, school, only for her life to change when
she begins to fall for the story's main subject, in this new realistic
contemporary romance from Brodi Ashton, the author of the Everneath
trilogy.
Raucous parties, privileged attitudes, underage drinking, and diplomatic immunity...it’s all part of student life on Embassy Row.
Piper Baird has always dreamed of becoming a journalist. So when she scores a scholarship to exclusive Chiswick Academy in Washington, DC, she knows it’s her big opportunity. Chiswick offers the country’s most competitive prize for teen journalists—the Bennington scholarship—and winning will ensure her acceptance to one of the best schools in the country.
Piper isn’t at Chiswick for two days before she witnesses the intense competition in the journalism program—and the extreme privilege of the young and wealthy elite who attend her school. And Piper knows access to these untouchable students just might give her the edge she’ll need to blow the lid off life at the school in a scathing and unforgettable exposé worthy of the Bennington.
The key to the whole story lies with Rafael Amador, the son of the Spanish ambassador—and the boy at the center of the most explosive secrets and scandals on Embassy Row. Rafael is big trouble—and when he drops into her bedroom window one night, asking for help, it’s Piper’s chance to get the full scoop. But as they spend time together, Piper discovers that despite his dark streak, Rafael is smart, kind, funny, and gorgeous—and she might have real feelings for him. How can she break the story of a lifetime if it could destroy the boy she just might love?

Why am I waiting on this book? Okay, to be honest this doesn't sound like my cup of tea, but I LOVED the Everneath series and I loved Brodi's writing, so I want to try this new contemporary novel. I hope I love Rafael as much as I loved Jack!
What about you?
WoW twinsies!! I'm so excited for this one! Hope you love :D
ReplyDeleteThis doesn't sound like my cup of tea either, but I hope you love it! If it turns out really good then that would be so awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI hope this book will be good. I liked her Everneath series.
ReplyDeleteJust glimpsed this one on Goodreads! Seems pretty interesting. Love the cover and blurb. Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI snatched this one from Edelweiss! I can't wait to read it. I've only read one book by Ashton (which was written by two other people -- My Lady Jane), and I liked it. Hopefully this solo book is awesome!
