"Savage Grace reads like a gossipy thriller set in the Hamptons, but this story of the tragic Baekeland family—told through gripping interviews with some of the grandest names in New York society—is all devastatingly true."

I have to admit, I hated this book when I first read it. I was a victim of forced reading in my seventh grade class and I definitely hated anything that I was forced to read.

I was a little hesitant to reread this book for my book club but I am definitely glad that I did. This book was really interesting. There were many things that I didn't understand when I first read it that now resound with me. The characters are intriguing and this definitely paints a picture of what society used to be like.

If you're looking for a racially charged book that makes your question society, this is the book for you. It forces you to look at a society that we all try and hide from. I'm glad that I reread it.

This series always end up being a quick read for me--or at least for a paperback, anyway--but that could be down to the large font size.

Anyway, to start with I thought this series would be a bit like the authors [b:Heist Society|6574102|Heist Society (Heist Society, #1)|Ally Carter|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1359254479s/6574102.jpg|6767235] series--same characters, different mission every book--but it's turning out to have one big story arc that you get bits and pieces of every time you read a book in the series while still containing enough fun bits and bobs to make each story complete.

I'm still waiting for books 4 and 5 to arrive but as soon as they do, I'll be continuing this series to see what happens with my fave foursome and Zach and Mr Solomon.

Well written moral tale (0 more)
I read this book as a child and not revisiting it with my children. My kids love it as a story but it also makes moral points that are still relevant in today' society.
