LAST CHRISTMAS [The Private Prequel]

I just finished a book that's called Last Chrismas by Kate Brian and it's the Private prequel. This is about a girl named Ariana and it tells in her perspective of how she got the way she was before she went crazy. A summary of the book is that Ariana had a perfect life and boyfriend and then she met Thomas, which is the "bad boy" and a druggie of the private boarding school. So she starts falling for him and becomes pretty obsessed. She's going behind her boyfriends back and soon it puts her life on the line. Soon, she finds out someone knows hers and Thomas's secret and if anyone finds out, her life and Thomas's is pratcially over. So she and Thomas try to find this "stalker" and it becomes very dangerous and thretening.

Once you read this, you finally understand everything better in the actual Private books. My favorite quote in this book is when the author wrote, " A few yards away, Reed glanced up and looked right into Ariana's eyes. She smiled uncertainly" (p. 263). I like this quote because in the Private book, the first one, the author wrote that exact same line about Reed looking up and seeing Ariana stare back coldly. It's a cool line because it connects/overlaps with the first book and i like that. This is my favorite book series and i recommend this to everyone!!

That's a cool connection between the books. You must be a dedicated reader to the series to have noticed that! Finding those little secrets and connections are always fun. I always feel cool when I find those type of things on my own, but someone always beats me to it. It seems I'm always the last person to find out cool connections or "easter eggs." >_<
