This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
A glitzy YA thriller set in New York City elite social circles, filled with backstabbing and blackmail, twisty secrets, and a dead body, from New York Times bestselling author Jessica Goodman.
Perfect for fans of Euphoria, Holly Jackson, and Jessica Knoll.
Old money. New secrets. One killer party.
Scoring an invitation for membership to the exclusive Legacy Club in New York City is more than an honor. It gives you a lifetime of access to power and wealth beyond any prep school doors and guaranteed safety and security as Legacy Club members always look out for their own. That is, after you make it through a rigorous week of events and the extravagant gala, the Legacy Ball.
So it’s not surprising when Excelsior Prep seniors Bernie Kaplan, Isobel Rothcroft, and Skyler Hawkins are nominated as Legacies; their family pedigrees have assured their membership since birth–even if they’re all keeping secrets that could destroy their reputations. But scholarship kid from Queens Tori Tasso? She’s a surprise nominee, someone no one saw coming. Tori’s never fit in this world of designer bags, penthouse apartments, and million-dollar donations. So what did she do to secure her place?
The night of the Legacy Ball is supposed to be the best night of these seniors’ lives, a night of haute couture, endless champagne, and plenty of hushed gossip.
Everyone expects a night of luxury and excess.
No one expects their secrets to come out.
Or for someone to die trying to keep them hidden.

Why I’m Waiting: Jessica Goodman is usually a hit or miss for me. The last one I read was a hit. The first one I tried was a miss. Hopefully this one is also a hit because this cover is GORGEOUS! So, did I request this because of who wrote it and bump it up higher because of the cover? Yes, yes I did. Did I read the synopsis? No, no I did not smh As a good friend of mine once said, I really need to “stop requesting with [my] eyes!”
What about you? Have you read anything by this author? Will you read this? What do you think about the cover? Let me know in the comments!
Oh nice! I’ve been hesitant to give this author a second try. The one I read by here was a complete and total miss for me. It scared me off enough that I don’t feel confident in trying out her other books. Hope this will be a winner for you when you get to read it!
