Welcome to Wellington
Boarding school for society's elite, overachievers, and rich screwups.
No matter who you are, Wellington can be the deepest and most beautiful time of your life, or the loneliest and most difficult. And two new girls are about to find out which it will be for them . . .
Laine Hunt is a Wellington girl by blood: She lives the country club life in Greenwich, Connecticut, she's a field hockey star, and her turquoise eyes and blond hair turn heads wherever she goes. But Laine has a mortal fear of failure that wakes her in the middle of the night with a fever, and she'll do anything to avoid it.
She also wants to avoid her roommate, fellow new girl Nikki Olivetti. Nikki is not Wellington material--she comes from a new-money Long Island family who have sent her away to save her from the bad influence of her friends back home. Nikki's a tease, a loudmouth, and an absolute sweetheart--and she just doesn't belong.
The girls couldn't have less in common. Except, of course, they both have to learn to survive in their new world--a world with no parents, no safety net, and no limit to how much trouble they can get into. No one ever thinks they'll crash and burn, but someone always does.
Will the new girls make it to the upper class?

"Lyrical, funny and often touching... there's no age limit on the voyeuristic fascination the subject holds. The authors open the leaded windows wide onto the playing fields of privilege, then, flipping the camera around, expose the far more brutal battle within the ivy-covered walls." - New York Times
