"Our new favorite thriller." – COSMOPOLITAN

A glitzy YA thriller set in New York City elite social circles, filled with backstabbing and blackmail, twisty secrets, and a dead body, from New York Times bestselling author Jessica Goodman.

Perfect for fans of Euphoria, Holly Jackson, and Jessica Knoll.

An invitation for membership to the exclusive Legacy Club in New York City is more than an honor. It gives lifetime access to power and wealth beyond any prep school doors, as Legacy Club members always look out for their own. That is, after you make it through a rigorous week of events and the extravagant gala, the Legacy Ball.

It’s not surprising when Excelsior Prep seniors Bernie Kaplan, Isobel Rothcroft, and Skyler Hawkins are nominated as Legacies; their family pedigrees have assured their membership since birth—even if they're all keeping secrets that could destroy their reputations. But scholarship kid from Queens Tori Tasso is the surprise nominee no one saw coming. She’s never fit in this world of designer bags, penthouse apartments, and million-dollar donations. So what did she do to secure her place?

The evening of the Legacy Ball arrives, and everyone expects a night of luxury and excess, haute couture, and plenty of hushed gossip.
No one expects their secrets to come out.
Or for someone to die trying to keep them hidden. Dating & Sex Difficult Situations Family & Relationships Friendship Literature & Fiction Mystery, Thriller & Suspense Peer Pressure Racism & Discrimination Thrillers & Suspense Exciting

"Sharp and snappy dialogue; a fleshed-out, intersectionally diverse cast; and thought-provoking interrogations of classism elevate this adrenaline-packed read." —Publishers Weekly

"Thrilling and unputdownable. These dimensional, expertly crafted characters will sear into your mind and leave a mark long after you’ve turned the last page. This is Jessica Goodman’s best work yet." —Diana Urban, author of Lying in the Deep

I love a good YA mystery, and The Legacies follows through! A classic whodunit, clue inspired, everybody is a suspect, literary brilliant read that will literally have you finishing this in one sitting.

Our story is interspersed between four point of views, one of the narrator, with flash-forwards of event's happening now, dotted with the point of views of three distinct young women, each going through life's various up and downs. Bernie, head honcho, Queen B, thankfully, without the snark and bad attitude of one in her status, Isobel, talented artist who makes her own problems, and Tori, scholarship student (because there always needs to be a scholarship student), whose mother passing away recently has rocked her world.

In their three combined stories you'll find yourself immersed in their tales, seeing how they weave around and are tied with each other in such titillating ways. But will they see it before it's too late?

Gah! Again, I love a good YA thriller or mystery, and The Legacies is definitely in the mystery category. The plot takes you on an adventure as you try to piece the puzzle together alongside the characters, and as the story continues and the picture starts to make sense I HAD to keep reading to see the characters reaction. Did I see the end coming? Yeah, a bit, but it still kept me guessing until the actual end. Now what occurred there...I feel could have been a little better, rougher, more in context with the buildup throughout the whole book. It was slightly anticlimactic, like I wanted something more...but yet...it was still a great book, and kudos to Jessica Goodman for giving us another brilliant read that did capture my attention until I finally had to stand still to 100% concentrate on the story!

Great plot, FANTASTIC narrators, seriously...amazing narrators, characters you root and empathize with, and an ending that left me feeling good. What more could I ask for?

Ahhh My Brain Is Happy Dancing!
