I really enjoyed this set of books 1 & 2.  I checked it out of the library to see if I would like the series and would advise this for people who want to get a good idea of the workings of Georgetown Academy.  We always hear all of the tripe that goes on with politicians and those in their social circles but this book has more to do with the children of these political figures.  It is certainly a new spin for a storyline.All of the characters are well defined and in each book you can view an event from one of the four top female character's point of view by selecting (i.e. clicking) on their name.  This was a great feature.  These 4 girls and their families, friends, and boyfriends, or lack thereof, are the driving force of the series.As if high school isn't bad enough, these children deal with a double whammy during their teens because they not only deal with the everyday teenage angst, but they must be above reproach for their family.  This story relates how little these teens have to say about their lives.  They are always under scrutiny and a scandal for them or their public figure parent is always around the corner, not to mention the oh so popular stabs in the back from friends and foe.I will definitely read the rest of the series.
