Overview

SHE'S BACK

After wasting away in a mental institution for a year and a half, Ariana Osgood is finally back where she belongs. She has a new look, a new name, and a new lifeβ€”all thanks to her former friend Briana Leigh Covington.

Now enrolled as a junior at the exclusive Atherton-Pryce boarding school just outside of D.C., Ariana sleeps in Frette sheets, flirts with the captain of the crew team, and gossips with the most beautiful girls on campus. She killed to get back her life of privilege. Just how far will she go to keep it?

From the author of the bestselling PRIVATE novels comes a series about the dark world of wealth, secrets, and PRIVILEGE.

Synopsis

Ariana Osgood has spent the past two years at the Trumball Correctional Facility for the criminally insane, charged with the murder of Thomas Pearson. Ariana is determined to get a second chance at the glamorous life she left behind---and she's willing to do anything to get her way.

Children's Literature

Kate Brian's second series "Privilege" promises to be as strong as her first, with the newest novel Beautiful Disaster. This, slightly darker than the average teen drama novel, will be sure to please its intended audience of adolescent female readers as it delves deeper into the life of Ariana Osgood. This time she has a new name, a new look, and a new life that she will do anything to keep; even commit murder. Enrolled as Briana Leigh Covington in the ultra exclusive Atherton-Pryce boarding school, Ariana/Briana is quick to link herself up with the most popular group of girls at the school. Everything seems to go smoothly as Ariana slips into her new life, until cracks begin to form in the carefully concealed web of lies. When the only two people in the world who know that she is even alive infiltrate her new existence, Ariana/Briana is not sure how to keep the charade going- especially when old friend turned enemy Kaitlynn Nottingham shows up demanding no less than one million dollars in exchange for her continued silence about Ariana's past. Exactly how far will Ariana go in order to keep her new life? Readers will be pleased with the dark drama and forbidden romance that drive this novel and will eagerly await Book 3 in order to see how it all plays out. Reviewer: Jeanna Sciarrotta
