All These Beautiful Strangers

by Elizabeth Klehfoth

Beneath the glittering heights of the rich and powerful, lie secrets that can destroy them all...

The perfect summer read, for fans of Cruel Intentions, Gossip Girl and One of Us is Lying.

'It is the perfect book to read at the beach. But be warned: you will get a sunburn, because you won't want to put it down.' - Cecily von Ziegesar, author of Gossip Girl

----------

Charlie Calloway has a life most people would kill for.

With her wealthy family's pedigree, a loyal set of friends, and a fast-track to whichever college she chooses, she's all-but untouchable at her exclusive East Coast boarding school.

But Charlie isn't interested in what most people want.

She's a Calloway. She's been taught to want more.

So when she's invited to join her school's exclusive secret society- the A's - her determination to get in is matched only by her conviction that she belongs there.

But behind their mysterious facade is a history of lies and cruel games which threatens to unravel everything Charlie thought she knew about herself... including the story behind her mother's disappearance ten years ago.

Reviews

[Joséphine]

Initial thoughts: It's been a while since I last read a book that I couldn't put down. All These Beautiful Strangers might not be the most original boarding school-based mystery book out there but it is compulsive to read! And while it isn't immune to clichés (missing mother, protagonist crushing on a popular senior, secret society with questionable initiation rites) it also has other things going for it like a father who shows up, some characters who respect authority figures, and friends who aren't afraid to disagree.
