Books like Private (Private #1) by Kate Brian

Reed Brennan is a teenage newcomer whose scholarship to the prestigious Easton Academy gives her a chance to escape the routine of her suburban life and a pill‑popping mother. At the tradition‑heavy campus, she quickly realizes that while she has been accepted, the school itself has not. Reed feels like an outsider looking in, until she encounters the Billings Girls—the campus’s most beautiful, intelligent, and fiercely confident women who hold all the power. Determined to join their inner circle, Reed uses every part of herself—her strengths, her flaws, and her hidden layers—to get closer to the clique. But as she gains entry to their secret parties and designer wardrobes, she discovers that beneath the glitter lies a collection of skeletons. The Billings Girls will do anything to keep their dark secrets private, and Reed must decide how far she is willing to go to be accepted and what the real cost of belonging might be.
