    Transfer student Ava Richards begins her first week at the prestigious Bishop Gray Academy and she has her eyes set on The List. An edgy roommate, a chaotic work-study buddy, an it-girl frenemy, and a brush with a cute boy on campus would be a lot even without falling in with a secret society, don’t you think?

I LOVED IT

I absolutely loved this podcast. I only put 4 stars because I feel like the end was rushed, but overall was soooo good. I hope there will be a season 2.

Hoping for season 2!!

Best podcast I have ever heard and probably ever will hear unless another season comes out!!!

Good potential but too juvenile

I was enraptured with the first four episodes but the virginity plot line totally lost me and the whole show became very juvenile from then forward. Loved the concept though and wish it had been done with college aged students instead of high school.
