A teen returning to her old neighborhood in disgrace and on the wrong side of the tracks strikes up a new romance that puts her in the crosshairs of her wealthy and influential former clique in this young adult novel perfect for fans of Gossip Girl.

Ally Ryan would rather be anywhere than back in Orchard Hill, site of her downfall. Well, not hers exactly—but when your father’s hedge fund goes south and all your friends lose their trust funds, things don’t look so sunny for you.

Her mother moved her to Maryland to flee the shame, but now they’ve returned so her mom can start a new job teaching at Ally’s new-old school. Back to the country-club, new-car-every-year, my-family-came-over-on-the-Mayflower lifestyle that Ally has outgrown. One bright spot, however, is gorgeous, intense Jake Graydon, who’s taken up residence in Ally’s old house.

But it won’t be easy for the two of them to be together—not if his friends (her former friends) have anything to say about it. Is Ally ready to get thrown back into the drama of the life she left behind?
