Welcome to Manderley Prep, the most exclusive school on the West Coast. Every girl needs a BFF-more than one, if possible. But for scholarship girl Cindy Ellis, finding new BFFs isn't easy when she leaves shabby Castle High for Manderley Prep-where the rich and famous send their children to learn how to scratch and claw their way to the top. Cindy's stepsisters, who also go to Manderley, are beautiful, blonde twins, and captains of the cheerleading squad. They're embarrassed to be seen with her and can't believe she's snagged the attention of the school's hot Italian transfer student, Marco. Now Cindy's not only trying to gather up a new gang of BFFs, but wondering if Marco could possibly be a potential BF.… (altro)

Everyone at exclusive Manderley Prep has the right clothes, the right car, and the right friends, which makes Cindy Ellis stand out like a sore thumb.
Attending Manderley on a scholarship is her ticket to a chance at an Ivy League school, where she can get as far away as she can from her demanding stepmother and two conniving stepsisters. She intends to stay focused on her studies. But when charming Italian exchange student Marco shows up, she just can't help but fall for him, despite her intentions.
Is a fairy-tale ending in the works?
The first in the new BFF series, MANDERLEY PREP is upbeat and engrossing. It gives the reader a taste of what a privileged life is like -- good and bad -- without appearing pretentious. Also a real breakaway from the tired modern day retellings of Cinderella, this story is subtle, and the fairy tale doesn't dominate the entire plot, which allows for more serious plot twists that make this story believable and easy to relate to.
Readers will love Cindy, and be rooting for this modern princess with a punch every step of the way. ( )

Last night Cindy dreamed she went to Manderley again. In the morning, her stepsisters yelled, "Wake up, Orphan Girl," and she knew this time that it was no dream. Starting today, she was a junior at Manderley Prep, the most exclusive, expensive high school in the Bay Area, maybe in the whole state if California. No longer would she go to Castle High with its crowded pre-fab classrooms, its tired, overworked teachers and tuned-out, stoned students. As a poor scholarship girl, she might not fit in with the rich kids at Manderley, but she'd never really fit in anywhere anyway. So what?

Then she realized that she was free, the airfare wasn't. Never mind, she'd worry about that later. She'd have a bake sale. Whatever. Think about it. All this and Bellagio too.
