    When her free-spirited mother dies in a tragic accident, 16-year old Alexandra Lee is forced to leave her West Coast home and move in with a wealthy grandmother she’s never known in Savannah, Georgia. By birth, Alex is a rightful if unwilling member of the Magnolia League - Savannah’s long-standing debutante society. But white gloves and silk gowns are a far cry from the vintage T-shirts and torn jeans shorts she’s used to.Alex is the first in decades to question the Magnolia League’s intentions, yet even she becomes entangled in its seductive world.

    the plot was super slow , nothing really happened , through out the story I was waiting for the moment where I get hooked in the story unfortunately that moment never came , the book is confusing and didn't click with me at all
