Sebastian is 17 and his life is out of control. He comes from an extremely wealthy family and with that comes certain expectations. His life is all planned out for him. He will attend Oxford University and proceed to take over the family business. But he's too busy drinking, doing drugs and sleeping around to focus on finishing high school. It's his escape. He wants to live his own life, not one that's been chosen for him.His friend Colin dies at Sebastian's country house during a weekend of partying and drugs. Sebastian can't focus because of the guilt he feels and ends up getting kicked out of high school. His mother banishes him to America. To a private school in Philadelphia to finish his senior year. That's where he meets Tess. His new tutor. A girl that is focused on getting into NYU and nothing else. They are two totally different people, from very different backgrounds that somehow end up falling for one another.I liked this book for the most part. I thought the beginning of the story was really strong, but towards the end it became a little predictable. The one thing that I really didn't like about this book was Sebastian. I kept waiting for him to grow on me, but sadly it never happened. I hated what he did with Penny, it pissed me off when he pressured Tess to have sex and in no way was it believable to me that he was a high school student. So I think I'm going to have to pass on the second book for now.
