I much prefer The Naturals series to this book. A decent read. the second half definitely outshines the first half. I'm going to have to pick up my reading if I hope to accomplish my goal by the year's end. Only nine books to read before the end of the year!
From Goodreads.com:
"I'm not saying this is Sawyer's fault," the prim and proper one said delicately. "But."
Eighteen-year-old
auto mechanic Sawyer Taft did not expect her estranged grandmother to
show up at her apartment door and offer her a six-figure contract to
participate in debutante season. And she definitely never imagined she
would accept. But when she realizes that immersing herself in her
grandmother's "society" might mean discovering the answer to the biggest
mystery of her life-her father's identity-she signs on the dotted line
and braces herself for a year of makeovers, big dresses, bigger egos,
and a whole lot of bless your heart. The one thing she doesn't expect to
find is friendship, but as she's drawn into a group of debutantes with
scandalous, dangerous secrets of their own, Sawyer quickly discovers
that her family isn't the only mainstay of high society with skeletons
in their closet. There are people in her grandmother's glittering world
who are not what they appear, and no one wants Sawyer poking her nose
into the past. As she navigates the twisted relationships between her
new friends and their powerful parents, Sawyer's search for the truth
about her own origins is just the beginning.
Set in the world of
debutante balls, grand estates and rolling green hills, Little White
Lies combines a charming setting, a classic fish-out-of-water story, and
the sort of layered mystery only author Jennifer Lynn Barnes can pull
off.

The Woman in the Window...
This was a great suspense book! Totally on the strange side but definitely enjoyable!
From Goodreads.com:
Anna Fox lives alone--a recluse in her New York City home, unable to venture outside. She spends her day drinking wine (maybe too much), watching old movies, recalling happier times . . . and spying on her neighbors.
Then the Russells move into the house across the way: a father, a mother, their teenage son. The perfect family. But when Anna, gazing out her window one night, sees something she shouldn’t, her world begins to crumble—and its shocking secrets are laid bare.
What is real? What is imagined? Who is in danger? Who is in control? In this diabolically gripping thriller, no one—and nothing—is what it seems.
