Description
Class is back in session!
It's the start of another school year at Tiffin, with our favourite characters from The Academy returning for senior year - "sixth form" in Tiffin-speak - a time of college admissions and trying not to crack under pressure, of partying hard and last hurrahs.
In the wake of Honey Vandermeid's exit, will the new college counsellor be up to the task? What do the cards hold in store for Tiffin's It couple, Charley and East? What will become of underground speakeasy Priorities? And what was in Cinnamon Peters's final email?
Elin Hilderbrand and Shelby Cunningham answer these burning questions and more in The Thoroughbreds, a page-turning story about friendship, treachery, ambition, and sacrifice.
