The st. ambrose school for girls - jessica ward

Heathers meets The Secret History in this thrilling coming-of-age novel set in a boarding school where the secrets are devastating--and deadly.

When Sarah Taylor arrives at the exclusive St.

Ambrose School, shes carrying more baggage than just what fits in her suitcase.

She knows shes not like the other girls--if the shabby, all-black, non-designer clothes dont give that away, the bottle of lithium hidden in her desk drawer sure does.

Ambroses queen bee, Greta Stanhope, picks Sarah as a target from day one and the most popular, powerful, horrible girl at school is relentless in making sure Sarah knows what the pecking order is.

Thankfully, Sarah makes an ally out of her roommate Ellen Strots Strotsberry, a cigarette-huffing, devil-may-care athlete who takes no bullshit.

Also down the hall is Nick Hollis, the devastatingly handsome RA, and the object of more than one St.

Ambrose students fantasies.

Between Strots and Nick, Sarah hopes she can make it through the semester, dealing with not only her schoolwork and a recent bipolar diagnosis, but Gretas increasingly malicious pranks.

Sarah is determined not to give Greta the satisfaction of breaking her.

But when scandal unfolds, and someone ends up dead, her world threatens to unravel in ways she could never have imagined.

The St.

Ambrose School for Girls is a dangerous, delicious, twisty coming-of-age tale that will stay with you long after you turn the last page.
