J''ai ouvert les yeux, et le décor familier de ma chambre s''est précisé peu à peu. C''est alors que j''ai eu un sursaut. J''aurais juré que je n''avais pas fait mon lit ce matin. Pourtant, il était impeccablement fait, les oreillers bien gonflés et les draps pliés au carré, comme à l''hôpital. Et sur le dessus-de-lit en patchwork, une rose rouge. Sur le coup j''ai cru que c''était Christopher qui l''avait déposée en douce. Une petite carte blanche était glissée sous la tige hérissée d''épines. À sa vue, une boule d''angoisse m''a obstrué la gorge. D''une écriture que je ne connaissais que trop bien, les quatre mots suivants, soulignés trois fois, s''étalaient en lettres majuscules : ON SE RETROUVERA BIENTÔT

Après la mort de Cheyenne Martin, Reed devient présidente des Billings. Les filles de la maison Billings doivent notamment élire une nouvelle présidente, et choisissent à l’unanimité Reed Brennan, la plus ancienne. Reed accède ainsi à un pouvoir qu’elle n’aurait jamais espéré : tous les ragots lui sont immédiatement rapportés, elle est prioritaire partout, on lui déroule le tapis rouge où qu’elle aille, et les anciennes élèves de Billings, parmi les femmes les plus puissantes du pays, lui offrent leurs services. Aussi, quand les élèves d’Easton apprennent qu’ils ne sont pas sur la liste des invités à la fête de l’Héritage (la fête la plus courue de la côte Est), c’est évidemment vers Reed « la toute puissante » qu’ils se tournent... Elle se révèle d’une force de caractère peu commune, mais sait mieux que personne que les « leaders » de Billings ont un passé douteux : Ariana est enfermée dans une institution psychiatrique, Noëlle a été renvoyée et Cheyenne vient de mourir. L’histoire a tendance à se répéter à Easton, et si Reed a tout ce qu’elle a désire, elle a aussi beaucoup à perdre...

A spoiled party girl’s sweet sixteen gets hijacked by a magical visitor who takes her on a journey through the past and the choices that made her the person she is in this poignant novel from New York Times bestselling author Kate Brian perfect for fans of Afterlife of the Party and Do Revenge. Elite guest list. Vera Wang gown with matching Jimmy Choos. Charming tuxedo-clad boyfriend. Velvet rope. Teagan Phillips’s sweet sixteen is the event of the season. Other parties have been chill, sure, but no one at Rosewood Prep throws a bash as extravagant, exclusive, or over-the-top expensive as Teagan. No one is as obnoxious, either. But that doesn’t stop everyone from wanting to see and be seen at her birthday. Luckily, Teagan’s in for a rude (and rather ungraceful) awakening. On the big night she falls stilettos-over-tiara into the country club wine cellar and blacks out. When she comes to, there is a strange woman standing at the foot of the stairs. Teagan initially mistakes this mystery woman as one of the help, but the stranger’s true purpose is to take Teagan on a ride, bringing her back through time to show her some very unpretty realities. At the end of it all, if she’s lucky, Teagan and her visitor just might put the sweet back in sixteen…
