A scandalous mystery made for high society

I honestly got hooked when Lilly and Sadie had Campbell tied up in Lilly’s family pool house. After that, I just needed to know how the events occurred and why they were happening. Through each chapter you would find out more and more and new scandals and secrets would come up. There was a mess this snowball effect of adding more fuel to the fire the more you learnt. I needed to learn more. I couldn’t put the book down. What have these girls gotten themselves into? How did these families lives intertwined together? What happened in the past that is now affecting all of their futures? I need to know all the answers. And that is what a good mystery book does. It hooks you and makes you want to know more. You want to learn if your presumption is of the situation alright. You are busy trying to figure out the mystery while you are reading it. But as I was reading this, the mystery just kept on getting more and more twisted. Sometimes adults think they are doing the right thing by keeping the truth from the kids but most of the time keeping secrets is more harmful than having a scandal.
