“We are not,” he said aristocratically, “going to eat so much gingerbread that we puke.” Seriously, if you aren’t cheering for that kid, what kind of person are you?) Although Sadie-Grace was easily my favorite character (she reminds me of Liz from The Galllagher Girls by Ally Carter) and I am a major fan of her relationship with Boone Mason and – once again – hope to see more of that sub-plot develop in the next book.
“What are we not going to do this year?” she asked him. He was a good three feet away when Aunt Olivia’s hand shot out and grabbed him by the back of the collar. He had even less of an idea what was going on than I did, but he had no intention of sticking around to find out. (i.e.: “I’m going to find the gingerbread.” John David was nobody’s fool. I especially enjoyed John David Jr.’s escapades and would love to see more of them in Deadly Little Scandals. Also, I may not hail from high society but I am born and raised in the southeast and can confirm that the dialogue and “phrases” throughout the book were authentic and could easily have been spoken by my friends and neighbors. And neither her writing style nor ability to weave an intricate, cliff hanger-driven story failed in this first book of The Debutantes duology. As she navigates the twisted relationship between her new friends and their powerful parents, Sawyer’s search for the truth about her own origins is just the beginning.įirst, let me say that I am a fan of Jennifer Lynn Barnes, even though thus far I’ve only read The Naturals series (well, actually I pretty much devoured it). However, what Sawyer doesn’t expect to find is friendship, acceptance into an estranged family – whom her mother told her never wanted to admit Sawyer’s existence – and several scandalous secrets that might topple high society. Not only at the completion of the nine-month season will she receive half a million dollars to attend college, but she’ll also be in a prime spot to finally figure out who is her mysterious father. Little White Lies by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (also author of The Naturals series) focuses on eighteen-year-old Sawyer Taft who is more-or-less bribed by her maternal grandmother to participate in the debutante season.
Verdict: Jennifer Lynn Barnes continues to be a phenomenal writer and for fans of Gilmore Girls, this is a fun addition to your bookshelf
