A spinoff of the Private series, and a follow up to Last Christmas: the Private Prequel. Read all in order for most enjoyment.
Wow -- this girl, Ariana Osgood, is a real psycho. It's clear pretty quickly that she has been put in a prison for the criminally insane for a reason. To call her a sociopath would be accurate, but she also has some other issues including OCD and narcissism. This is definitely not a heroine that most girls would likely root for even as they anticipate what Ariana's next move is going to be. She's not quite as smart as she thinks she is, however, nor as astute. As she covets material things and money, she unthinkingly makes one mistake after another in her quest to achieve her lifelong dreams.
The novel is fast paced and a bit predictable but teen readers will likely be glued to the pages as they race along reading what this very bad girl is going to do next.
