Undecided about this book. It was frank in its descriptions of what teenagers do and their terminology (at least in the time period it is written) but I was left questioning the accuracy of the descriptions/thoughts of the individuals. The incident the scandal is based on is true but the supporting information of how it came to be seems to be lacking.

From reading this nonfiction book about Milton Academy, one gets the impression most of the students' time is spent hooking up and indulging in other teen behavior. Classes and studying are barely mentioned, even though the students do get into good colleges. Not my kind of place.
