I can honestly say this series just keeps getting better and better. The further I read, the more entangled I became in Ellie, Brinley, Evan and Taryn's lives. These are four spectacular young women who each with their own complex personalities bring intrigue and excitement to a gripping story with heaps of twists and surprises.The story picks up exactly where it left off in the previous book. New alliances are formed, secrets are spilled, and a couple of interesting discoveries change the course of a few lives. One of the many things I'm enjoying about this series is that the relationships between the characters in their friendships, their love lives, and between them and their parents, are hugely realistic. These characters came to life for me because everything about them and their interactions with others are very real and true to life. Ellie's unwavering loyalty to her mom, the close relationship between Brinley and her brother Brooks, Evan's friendship with Luke and the sacrifice she's willing to make to protect his status, gave a very authentic feel to these characters and the overall story. The trials Ellie and Taryn had to endure and the choices they had to make, speaks of two strong characters and I'm all about independant female leads. I'm really looking forward to seeing where the authors are going with Ellie and Taryn's storylines, but I'm just as curious to find out whether Brinley is going to kick her addiction and whether Evan can keep up the ruse with her fake boyfriend.If you enjoyed the first book, you'll enjoy this one even more. I'd suggest you read the first book to really get to know and adore these characters and to catch up on all the drama, but book two can also be read as a stand-alone as enough background is given from the previous book to enjoy this story on its own. I stayed up way past my bedtime to finish this awesome read. Now it's on to book three and hopefully the authors will hurry up and write a fourth instalment to this breathtaking and fun series. Georgetown Academy is without a doubt a hard-to-put-down reading experience.I received a copy of this book from the publisher, via NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.
