I don't think I'll be able to adequately express how stupendously impressed I am with this book. Once I received my copy of Georgetown Academy, I couldn't wait to start reading it. It was everything I was hoping it would be and so much more. The story flowed so smoothly, I couldn't even tell it was written by two - might I say uber talented - authors. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Georgetown Academy is made into the next hit tv series. It is that good! It has more drama and intrigue than Gossip Girl could ever wish to have.The different stories of Evan, Ellie, Brinley and Taryn were so powerful and emotional at times it had me glued to my seat from the first page to the last. I'm not ashamed to admit I devoured this book in less than a day. This is pretty much four stories in one, and each character brings something different to the story. The reader also has the option to follow only one or two or all four stories at once. The first five chapters are dedicated to getting the reader to know the set-up at GA and the four main characters. From chapter six you can choose which character's story you want to follow, or, like me, you can follow all four story lines. I didn't want to miss out on a single thing.Each main character was neatly rounded out and I even took a liking to some of the secondary characters. I felt one hundred percent at home at Georgetown Academy and it was incredibly easy to place myself in these characters' shoes. The ending is of course a spectacular cliffhanger. I don't mind cliffhanger endings, as long as it doesn't end in the middle of nowhere - which this one doesn't. I was shocked at Ellie's discovery, and now I can't wait to read the second book in this addictive new series. This first book is a terrific start to the Georgetown Academy series which I highly recommend to all who love reading about characters with exciting, and sometimes somewhat scandalous, lives!I received a copy of this book from the publisher, via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.
