Priveleged by Zoey Dean

Very enthralling!!! Held my attention such that I finished it between Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon. I do not regret my purchase

Amazing Book!

I am not one to really get into books, but recently I had been watching the television series Privileged and saw that it was based upon this book. I read the book within 3 days and have read it 2 times over since then. Very funny, cute, romantic novel. Anyone regardless of age will love this book. Especially if you watch the show as well.

Brisk, Fun, and Easy to Read

I read Privileged on a particularly horrendous airport delay (16 hours) and was immediately intrigued. The premise was fun, and as a big fan of the show I wanted to read the source material. The differences are easily noticable. Megan Smith is described as an average looking size 10, a far cry from Joanna Garcia's striking size 2 frame. The character of Charlie is replaced with Megan's female friend, Charma and sweet, adorable Rose Baker is not as innocent as Lucy Hale portrays her. I was able to read the book with ease in a quick 3 hours and was entertained throughout. Megan is quirky and likable, despite her pesimism, and I loved to hate the Baker Twins. Their antics made me laugh, and gasp in shock and I loved to root for Megan. That said, I wasn't always on Megan's side. Her plan to continue living in Les Anges and getting fat paychecks while she gets as much dirt as possible on the rich so she can write a book, did make her unlikable at times. All in all it is a fun book that is very entertaining and easy to read.

Great Read

Megan Smith lives in NYC and works as a secretary for a fashion magazine doing captions for photos. She would rather be working for a more well respected magazine, but stays put. That is until she gets fired. Her boss tells her that she is is not suited for that kind of job. Her boss tells her that she has a job lined up for her working in Florida and that it would help her money wise (she has massive college debt). Megan flies down to Florida, not knowing who she was going to work for, but was told to read a magazine with an article in it about the spoiled rotten grandchildren of a French woman who made billions marketing skin and hair care products. The grandchildren (twins) need to be tutored so that they can be accepted into Duke University before they get their inheritance The twins Rose and Sage do not want to have anything to do with Megan at first, thinking that they will not need Megan since they will be big stars, but that is soon proven wrong. They decide to do the work and in the process all thing learn things about themselves and find love in along the way.

This is a surprisingly entertaining book..

I sure hope that she will write more adult fiction. Even though I am an adult,I read her teen fiction,but this adult novel is much better.
