GoldenGirl (Bradford Novel)

Released January 27, 2009

Summary (from Amazon):  Paige, Spencer, and Madison have it all: the looks, the connections, the money, the boys. As the daughters of three of the most prestigious families on Philadelphia's Main Line (read: old money, and lots of it) and the ruling juniors at Bradford Prep, nothing can stand in their way....except, perhaps, their own dark secrets. When an old frenemy from Paige's hidden past shows up at Bradford and plays nice--too nice--Paige is desperate to smother the threat. How far will she go to silence the truth?

My Review:  I had very high expectations for GoldenGirl, though I thought it was going to be similar to Gossip Girl (which is one of my guilty pleasures).  I was pleasantly surprised!  Micol definitely exceeded my expectations with this one!   It was FAR better than any of the Gossip Girl novels, and really the only similarities are the wealth and the GG initials.

GoldenGirl kept me interested through it's blog posts (private and public) and outrageous scandals!   While reading, I couldn't decide who was to be trusted and was on the edge of my seat waiting to find out the truth.  

The Bradford Novels are sure to be instant hits!  GoldenGirl, the first in the series, is full of humor, fashion, and jaw-dropping drama!

While I would say this is a fairly light read, the characters face some deep issues, though they are not the entire focus of the book.  

I definitely recommend you read this if you are looking for some "oh-no-she-didn't" drama and the fast paced life of the wealthy.

Be sure to check out the Bradford Novels website for more information about this juicy new series.  And right now, Micol is hosting a month long blog bash (ends February 20).  There are author interviews, behind the scenes looks at the novel's photo shoots, and giveaways.  Be sure to check it out here!  It's so very!
