Customer Reviews

Great Sequal

Everything Kate brian writes is brilliance, especially involving the private series. This spin-off series is so interesting and you never know what's going to happen next, it's well written, well researched, and all the characters are developed so vividly.

Good

It came in about 3 days later than expected. But it was looking almost new.

A great new series for fans of Private

Beautiful Disaster carries on where the last one left off, with Ariana taking on Briana Leigh's identity and life, and starting school at Atherton-Pryce. Unfortunately, her status as one of the elite isn't taken for granted as it was in her former life, so she has to choose her new friends carefully and suck up to the girls at the top to be accepted into their crowd. There's a new male obsession for her at this new school, too - only problem is that he's going out with an extremely sweet and kind girl who was friends with Briana Leigh as children. Dare Ariana sabotage their relationship to have him for herself? To the backdrop of all the school drama is the constant need for vigilance against those who might blow her cover - her ex-boyfriend from her time with Briana Leigh, her ex-cellmate from the insane asylum, and others. This is a totally over the top novel, but I enjoyed every bit of it and have already pre-ordered the next one. Can't wait to see what happens next!

shes back

ariana osgood is back in the world of posh boarding schools money and beautiful yet scandulous people. i sympathize with ariana in this novel. you have to admire he her cleverness drive and determination. she starts going back to her od ways when kaitlynn finds her and she is blackmailed. i think that ariana has changed for the time being but with kaitlynns surprise enrollment at the end there will be some dark times for ariana. i applaud kate brians way of writing in this novel and giving us the ability to understand ariana and the way she made the characters come to life.

So NOT a disaster of a novel

Kate Brian's spinoff series is so good! Beautiful Disaster continues Ariana's story and this girl is beyond bad. A great summer read!
