She’s stuck up, indignant, believes she essentially rules the school. I’ll be honest: I wasn’t sure how to feel about Skylar initially. That said, I still enjoyed the ride immensely. Total fish-out-of-water story and I couldn’t wait to dive in! Before I even started I knew how things would play out, Skylar would be outraged at being stuck with a group of social outcasts, said social outcasts would turn out to actually be really awesome, and eventually Skylar would have a dawning realization that how she had originally treated them was wrong. When I first heard about Going Geek I knew it was a book I wanted to read: a popular girl is suddenly thrown into the geek crowd. Even more shocking is how her friends react to the news about what Skylar was really up to over summer break. Just when she thought it couldn’t get any worse, Skylar discovers she’s to be moved from Lincoln to Abbott, aka the dorm with all the losers. With the ultimate bombshell: her parents might have to sell the house, Skylar counts down the days until she’s back at her beloved Winthrop…until she receives word that, due to a computer error, more students were placed in her dorm than it can house and living arrangements had to be shuffled. Instead of a summer spent with Hollywood heartthrobs, Skylar has instead been waiting tables at a country club.
Unfortunately for Skylar, her world gets flipped upside down: her mother just can’t seem to find a company to green-light the movie and with no income, Skylar’s once-privileged life has taken a serious turn for the worse. Skylar is a girl who has it all: her mom became a household name with the uber popular movie Over It and has been working on a sequel and she’s about to start her senior year at her elite (aka very expensive) East Coast boarding school where she has the coolest friends and hands down the best dorm – not to mention the perfect boyfriend. Stepping out of her comfort zone never felt so scary-or necessary. And when it turns out that Skylar’s best friend is the one responsible for having her booted from Lincoln? It’s an all-out war.
Worse is that Skylar wasn’t exactly truthful about how she spent summer break in Los Angeles-and her little white lie is causing her once rock-solid romance to crumble fast. Living with a group of strangers everyone thinks is lame is bad enough. To her dismay, Skylar’s not going to rule senior year because she’s stuck in Abbot House, a tiny dorm known for, well, nothing.
Skylar Hoffman’s senior year at her preppy East Coast boarding school should have been perfect: amazing boyfriend, the coolest friends, the most desirable dorm. Summary: It wasn’t supposed to be this way. Source: ARC via publisher (Thank you, Delacorte!)
