I still have SO many ARCS on my list and so many more on my TBRs short-list, but I need a break from being good. I can't remember when I first saw this series, but it keeps popping up (as does a few others, but I'm trying to be mostly good here--this book/series won out). "Infamous Park Avenue Prince" is the first novel in Ella Frank and Brooke Blaine's Park Avenue Princes series.
This was a beautiful and filthy version of the 1999 movie "She's All That" mixed with that Simone Elkele's 2000s ya novel "Perfect Chemistry." Both of which I've been previously obsessed with. How could I NOT binge-read this?! Fuck me, and its a dual-POV (those were my fucking WEAKNESS in middle school and high school--still are).
["Who are we? Like you even need to ask. We’re the seven richer-than-sin legacies causing debauchery at the prestigious Astor University in Manhattan.
Some call us spoiled.
Some call us trouble.
But everyone calls us the Park Avenue Princes.
Weston LaRue
“The Playboy”
I’m never one to turn down a bet. Especially not when it comes to retaliating against the dean for pulling a dick move before summer break.
So when the dean’s golden child arrives at Astor for his freshman year, my fellow troublemakers throw down a wager I can’t resist.
The target: the dean’s son, John Thomas Hawthorne, or “JT.”
The bet: corruption in any way I choose.
It should’ve been easy. With his mess of brown curls, pouty lips, and good-boy reputation, JT is the perfect revenge. And even better? He’s straight.
Challenge accepted. I’ll do whatever it takes to prove a point, no matter how reckless it might be.
Game. On."]
Holy. Fuck. This book. My freaking holy mother shit. Wow. This book was fucking fabulous. No wonder it gets so much love on IG. It's so freaking perfect. And honestly, this bet trope used to be HUGE, but I haven't seen it in a while, so it was predictable but it was also refreshing.
JT was a bit of a little shit, but who else was going to put up with West and all of his spoiled, playboy ways. Honestly. JT brought West down to Earth a bit (and the subway), and West taught JT how to let go just a bit and have fun. It was unpredictable for both of them.
And I really want to hate So-And-So for the drama that unfolded during the third-act, because he's also a spoiled shit, but I think there's more going on with him (jealousy, hurt, loneliness, more). Annnnnd, I know for a fact, he's going to get karma (in the form of a HEA so hard it'll knock the wind out of him) in his own book.
