The Legacies

Product Information

Something about them rubbed me the wrong way, and I really did not like Tori's girlfriend - I felt like she was very rude and dismissive of everything Tori was going through.

Jessica Goodman’s latest thriller set against the backdrop of the wealthy New York City social scene is a must read for fans of Gossip Girl craving something a little darker. The Legacy Club is a powerful society that inducts high school seniors among their elite ranks, and the ball is the final acceptance ceremony following a competition to win some money, which traditionally is donated back to the club as the inductees are not in need of it.Was it a parent from the ball committee or a student who might have accidentally fallen or been pushed from the balcony?

John is locked in battle with Setrákus with both of them taking heavy damage, while John pours his healing legacy into him, while also using it on himself in small bursts to keep him going. The book captures different elements of each of the three girls, with Tori desiring the wealth and power that comes with the club but wary of those within, Bernie knowing the club is her destiny as she is a legacy within the club but also worried about her mother, who disappeared this week, and Isobel who is suffering from substance abuse, feelings of inadequacy, and the weight of the secrets she is carrying. Not since Nelson DeMille’s “The Gold Coast” (1990) have I read an author of fiction who truly understands the difference between the old upper-upper class and the rest of us. You spend the whole book trying to unweave the webs that were created by our characters off page; who nominated Tori Tasso, the Dan Humphrey of the group, where is Bernie's mom, and what is the secret that Isobel and Skyler are keeping? When Tori Tasso, a scholarship kid from Queens that nobody knows, gets selected to the Legacy Club, the other five students start questioning who may have nominated her.
