Summary

He told me to go away.

I did. I followed his instructions. I left with the new family. They were from the right side of the tracks, and I tried to become one of them. I really did, but I failed. When someone died, someone that I loved, I couldn’t keep pretending everything was fine. It wasn’t. This privileged world he gave me wasn’t privileged. There were problems. He just never told me that he created them, that he had sent me into a world he set up for me.

It was all a lie, but it was lie that I was going to expose. Or I would die trying.

No one does teen drama quite like Tijan, and here she doesn’t disappoint. Taryn, grown up in the foster system, moves in with a wealthy family when they adopt her at almost 18. Sound odd? Yes it is! As part of this Taryn moves to a new High School, has to navigate the new world, including school hierarchies, and get to grips with her new “family”. It starts off with the usual High School BS, cliques, elite girls and boys, “you slept with my bf” stuff, but soon takes a turn into something darker and way more “adult”, as Taryn’s past just keeps coming into her present. Of course as always she has a hot boy to help her out along the way, and of course he’s just devoted to her as they always are in a Tijan novel.

It’s the usual somewhat chaotic style of writing we have come to expect from Tijan, but this is an early work and provides the blue print I think for a lot of her later stuff. I saw echoes of Carter Reed, Fallen Crest, the New York Mafia novels and many others. It’s a decent story, not her best though.

The narration is OK. It’s a bit monotone unless the narrator is doing dialogue and then she comes into her own. Her male voices aren’t great.
