An Education in Ruin by Alexis Bass




If you enjoy unreliable narrators, then this book might be for you.  I have trouble deciding if Collins is unreliable or just been lied to so much she doesn't know what's true.  There are also LOTS of secrets in this book, which don't really come out until the very end, and even then you are left wondering.  

Collins is headed to boarding school.  Her aunt has tasked her with finding some dirt on two boys, brothers, in order to break up their married mom with her dad.  Aunt Rose claims that the mom is using Collins dad for his money.  As Collins tries to befriend the boys and make  Jasper fall in love with her so she can break his heart, she finds out that what secrets the boys possess are not what her aunt had in mind.  

The book is broken into sections by months and at the end of each section there is a hint of what happens in March.  The ending seemed to end with a good closure.  I would recommend this for 7th and up.
