The New Girl by Jesse Q. Sutanto is a story that enters Lia who enrols in a school for the rich and elite where secrets are bound to be shared and the usage of drugs lead to implications. This book caught me off guard and entails so much more than it seems.

The premise is interesting but I think it can be paced better instead of making it barely anything happening to the characters then cramming everything altogether. It feels rushed and odd. I really am a huge fan of the author but this one hit it off for me.

I couldn't believe some of the events that happened and the culprit behind some of the most important scenes. It turned out to be the person I expected the least from and yes, the author truly has a way of sneaking in unnoticed and making an outcome that will definitely surprise you.

All in all, this may just be my least favourite book by the author so far but I'd still be very eager to read her other works, especially in the previous series that I really enjoyed, Dial A For Aunties and The Obsession. Unfortunately I cannot recommend you to read this one and will direct you to the books I mentioned before.

Lia is a fish out of water when she arrives at Draycott. It becomes clear her classmates are insanel y rich, privileged and possibly murderers! This story is about as far fetched as they come but it doesn’t stop it from being entertaining as Lia tries to Nancy Drew her way out her own mess and help the few new friends she has made. Definitely a book that requires suspension of disbelief but a fun read nonetheless.
