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.
