From Alexis Bass, the acclaimed author of Happily and Madly, comes this lush and sophisticated YA tale of scandal, greed, love, and revenge, An Education in Ruin.

The Mahoney brothers are the golden boys of Rutherford Institute. Theo is well-connected and popular—but he’s hiding something. Jasper is studious and focused. Though he isn’t as impenetrable as he seems.

Collins Pruitt is going to expose them for who they really are. She will earn their trust—and then she’ll ruin them. Unless she gets what she wants. Even if that means her own secrets may be exposed.

As she’s pulled further into Theo’s and Jasper’s orbit, she uncovers truths she wasn’t expecting—truths that make her question why she’s doing this in the first place … and if it’s possible to ruin them without destroying herself.

“With gorgeous writing and secrets that keep you turning pages until the heartfelt end, this deeply immersive tale asks how far we’ll go to protect those we love—and what happens when we’re wrong. I devoured this masterfully plotted and beautifully executed story.”—Lori Goldstein, author of Sources Say and Screen Queens
