    Old Money, New Rules

    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?

Woozy woowoo ,

Cra cra

Storyline and acting are surburb but it’s crazy that these kids are in high school!!! Not college, it’s just weird having freshmen’s and seniors, bumping ugly’s, I mean there is a lot of sleeping around, I guess morals for people went right out the window and it’s just weird cause they are young but other than that it held my attention..

Hooked for sure

I’m pretty new to the world of fiction podcasts and until now hadn’t found one I’ve loved, but this one has me hooked. It’s like a mashup of Gossip Girl and The OC. And maybe Sex Education. The sound design makes it such an immersive world to escape into. Also love the theme song, very nostalgic feeling. Definitely recommend!

Well written but inappropriate

It’s well written and very engaging but I couldn’t finish it because it just turned into a promo with underage high school kids.
