She Was the Quiet One by Michele Campbell

 

 

I read Michele’s It’s Always the Husband at the end of May, which is why I requested this book and was just OMGing the entire time, to the point where I was texting my reading partner in the wee hours of the night as I was reading and woke her up..oops. We actually had to go back and re-read the beginning because her and I had a dispute about the beginning, it was that great.

OK, so this book is Mean Girls meets Sweet Valley High with a boarding school and millennial twist. 

We begin the book in the infirmary where they lock down girls who have broken rules. A twin is accused of killing her sister, which sister, we just do not know. We are then taken back to the first day of school for twins, Bel and Rose Enright at Odell Academy, their mother had died from cancer earlier that year in May. Bel and their mother were best friends and looked very similar, whereas Rose was blond like their father, who died when they were 5. They ended up with their blue blooded fraternal grandmother after their mother’s passing because she was the only one who offered to take them in. They are welcomed by the senior welcoming committee as they are moving in. The twins are split up into different dorms.Darcy mentions that her mom and the twins dad actually dated before he moved to California. This is the beginning of a friendship between mean girl and senior, Darcy and Bel. Normally, freshman and seniors do not mix, but Darcy decides to take Bel under her wing, or make her one of her minions is more like it. Bel pays the price of doing some of her bidding that ends in the revival of an old school prank, some people getting expelled and a whole lot of trouble. This book is full of drama and excitement, not to exclude affairs, bullying and blackmailing. I could not wait until the end!
