Until Sophie is caught with coke at a party and arrested….for the second time. When any of the rich kid’s parents left the country, they would hole-up at their house and do drugs, party and have sex. Her friends would go to different “holes” each evening. “Keep appearances, Sophie Price, and I’ll reward you handsomely,” my father said to me starting at fifteen. Every want I fulfilled and every desire was quenched. At 14, Sophie fired her own nanny, and when her parents found out months later, they decided she could raise herself.įreedom is just that.
Sophie was raised by nannies, her parents too busy to care or even pay attention.
I pulled and played with their puppet strings. I manipulated, used, disrespected and took advantage of every person I called friend. “My goal in life was to rule my tiny, elite world, so I did. I rule this roost because I’m the most wanted by all the guys, and all the girls want to be my friend because of it.” It’s obvious in the way I look in the mirror, yes, but even more obvious in the way everyone treats me. “I’m one of the beautiful people… I’m beautiful, and it’s not because I have a healthy dose of self esteem, though I have plenty of that. I don’t mean rich like that million dollar house down the road and a BMW at 16, I mean $20,000 a month allowance rich. It started with a totally spoiled, manipulative, leader of the disgustingly filthy rich socialites, Sophie Price. I have to tell you, this review will be filled with quotes (I highlighted half the book) because Fisher Amelie has said it so much better than I ever can. I knew NOTHING about it, didn’t even read the blurb, just used the lovely Amazon 1-click, and poof! I was reading it. I bought this book because all I saw were 5 star reviews popping up in my goodreads newsfeed. It was so different! It is classified as YA, so your teens should absolutely read it…but it’s for ANYONE.
Vain by Fisher Amelie had me bawling my eyes out but loving every second of it. Powerful, poignant, heartbreaking, heartwarming and moving.
