The Legacies
The Legacies | Jessica Goodman
4 posts | 7 read | 2 to read
Old money. New secrets. A glitzy YA thriller set in New York City elite social circles, filled with backstabbing and blackmail, twisty secrets, and a dead body, from New York Times bestselling author Jessica Goodman. Perfect for fans of Euphoria, Holly Jackson, and Jessica Knoll. Scoring an invitation for membership to the exclusive Legacy Club in New York City is more than an honor. It gives you a lifetime of access to power and wealth beyond any prep school doors and guaranteed safety and security as Legacy Club members always look out for their own. That is, after you make it through a rigorous week of events and the extravagant gala, the Legacy Ball. So its not surprising when Excelsior Prep seniors Bernie Kaplan, Isobel Rothcroft, and Skyler Hawkins are nominated as Legacies; their family pedigrees have assured their membership since birtheven if they're all keeping secrets that could destroy their reputations. But scholarship kid from Queens Tori Tasso? Shes a surprise nominee, someone no one saw coming. Toris never fit in this world of designer bags, penthouse apartments, and million-dollar donations. So what did she do to secure her place? The night of the Legacy Ball is supposed to be the best night of these seniors lives, a night of haute couture, endless champagne, and plenty of hushed gossip. Everyone expects a night of luxury and excess. No one expects their secrets to come out. Or for someone to die trying to keep them hidden.

I don't know how to rate this one. It was okay, not one I would ever read again, it didn't make me interested in any other books from the author. But, it wasn't horrible either. I just felt like not a lot happened, but yet it did have a lot of drama throughout. I didn't care for most of the characters, except for a few moments throughout the book. Maybe that's why I didn't care for it.

KristiAhlers I'm sad to read this...it's also why I haven't picked it up yet. 8mo
AshRaye @KristiAhlers While I don't personally recommend the book, I also didn't hate it. I have heard some other people mention some good things about it, so maybe you'll agree with them? I'll look forward to your opinion if you do decide to give it a try! 8mo

The story is told through the eyes of the main characters predominantly through flashbacks centered around the events leading up to the fated Legacy Ball. I liked experiencing the story through each of their viewpoints. The Legacies is a fast-paced novel that, at many times, left me on the edge of my seat. I felt the ending was so appropriate to the story and sends a pretty solid message to the reader, especially those young adult readers.

I love a YA novel that is set at a rich prep school and this one is pretty good! Rich kids are vying to be inducted into a super secret club called the Legacy, but something happens the night of the induction ceremony and someone ends up dead. A great summer read.
