After her mother dies, Hailey’s father sends her away to an elite boarding school in Vermont.  Here Hailey is a top student, is dating the son of two celebrities, and is favored by all her teachers.  But Hailey goes through a “bad girl” streak, making risky decisions, damaging school property, skipping school, and cheating on her boyfriend.

I’m not sure what lesson the author was after, because Hailey’s life improves after becoming a bad girls, strengthening her relationship with her father and finding a new boyfriend more suitable for her. As an adult reader, I was unhappy with this turn in the plot.
