Book Summary:
Gillian
is a successful publicist in Manhattan who gets wrapped up into the
#MeToo movement and scandal ensues. Forced to leave her line of work and
find a new start, she accepts a job at her former boarding school as a
"dorm mom". She settles into life there as a mentor to the students and
friend to a teacher. She even runs into her old high school crush, now a
parent of one of the students (and single!) When scandal on campus
ensues, she has to figure out how to keep everything moving forward
without causing more problems.
Review:
While I totally
understood where the initial scandal came from, I had trouble relating
to the characters. The rich privileged kids seemed to be complete
stereotypes. The love interest always seemed kind of shady and
untrustworthy. While the story was a good escape from reality, I wasn't
totally enthralled with it.
