Miss Educated: An Upper Class Novel

Surviving high school is one of the most challenging things in a teenager's life. And when you're a part of the society scene, trying to make a name for yourself in a part of the upper class, things are even more difficult. Not only do you have to dress and look the part, but you have to please everyone around you; which can be pretty difficult when you're competing against the glamorous student body at the prestigious Wellington Academy. Parker Cole is an outsider. Sure, she's got the money. Sure she's got the name. Heck, she even has the platinum card. The one thing she doesn't have is a set place at Wellington's hierarchy table; and she's not sure if she actually wants one. Parker isn't your typical upper-crust girl. She's offbeat. Weird, if you will. Her wardrobe consists of wacky cowboy hats, flowing capes - even when the weather is warm - and a perfume mixture of violets that is certainly most displeasing to the senses. Especially the senses of those wearing Chanel No. 5. Luckily, Parker knows exactly what people think about her, and takes it in stride - agreeing with their beliefs. Even better, Parker has something else under her belt, the fact that she actually survived first semester at Wellington, and is determined to make it through second semester, and the rest of high school at the same institute of higher learning. But to do that, she'll have to let the "true" Parker come out. The one who wants to be recognized by a special guy. Enter Chase Dobbs. Even after getting placed on academic probation, Southern gentleman, Chase, managed to make it through his first semester at Wellington, and return for the second. If he doesn't make it off of academic probation, however, he's going to be shipped off to military school - stat! As much as he'd love to misbehave for the next few years, the thought of military school is enough to straighten him up, and get him thinking straight. But now that he's back at Wellington, Chase keeps finding himself at the center of controversy, with a series of distractions and mini-disasters that always happen to take place when he's around. One of the biggest distractions, however, is his new lab partner, Parker. Aloof, strange, and totally absorbed in getting Wellington done and over with, Chase finds something extremely unique and refreshing about her, and would love to get to know her better. A few well-placed, unexpected events may just help him get his wish. So many book series manage to start off with a bang, then slowly slip downhill, taking your interest away with them. The same cannot be said for Hobson Brown, Taylor Materne, and Caroline Says' MISS EDUCATED. Once again, these three authors have told the story of the rich and beautiful. The ones striving for perfection to please their parents, teachers, and even their friends. The ones determined to make it out of Wellington, diploma in hand, alive. And they've done a wonderful job of it. I adore how Brown, Materne, and Says turned the tables, and f

Fun read for all ages! Def this year's stocking stuffer for my sisters and all my girlfriends. Hoping a book 3 is out soon.. can't get enough of Wellington.

Being "West Coast" by nature, my initial thoughts of the series were biased. Miss Educated has proven me right once again. I found the read enjoyably unrelatable. The mystique and intrigue of the "East Coast" kept me turing page after page. I am definitely looking forward to the next and the next and the next in this series.

it was ok . Kind of slow . have to read the other books to get it . Some parts you might have to read over . It had almost every mood in it(sadness anger confusion .... ) At times i could feel them telling each other off . It is a great read one of my favs . Cant wait for the next book .

I've read both the Upper Class & Miss Educated and I will say the authors are spot-on with their depictions of boarding school life. As a former boarder myself, I commend these three writers for being the first to truly capture the boarding school experience since Mr. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye. In fact, I would say this Upper Class series is a worthy update to JD's masterpiece, succeeding where other depictions of high school life and teen angst have only produced cotton candy results. I'm looking forward to Parts III & IV, and hope to see this as an HBO series before long.
