From New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Brendan Kiely, a sensational new book that explores the insidious nature of tradition at a prestigious boarding school.

Prestigious. Effective. Privileged. This is Fullbrook Academy, an elite prep school where background looms in the leafy branches over its brick walkways. But some traditions upheld in its hallowed halls are profoundly harmful.

Jules Devereux just really wants to hold her head down, avoid interruptions, and enter the right about Tradition college, so she can leave Fullbrook and its old-boy social rules behind. She wants freedom, but ex-boyfriends and ex-best friends are identified to keep her set up.

Jamie Baxter feels as though an imposter in Fullbrook, however the hockey scholarship that got him in has specific him a chance to escape his history and match the dreams of his parents and coaches, whose mantra bands in his ears: Don’t disappoint us.

When Jamie and Jules match, they recognize in one another an identical instinct for survival, but at a school where women in the college student handbook are rated simply by their looks, sports athletes stack hockey pucks in dorm room home windows like notches on a bedpost, and school-sponsored dances push first 12 months girls out into the night time with senior boys, the stakes for safe and sound sex, real like, and true companionship couldn’t be higher.

Ultimately, Jules and Jamie are confronted with the hard issue: can they stand collectively against classmates–and an institution–who believe they are able to do no incorrect?
