Publisher Description
Class is back in session! New York Times bestselling authors of The Academy Elin Hilderbrand and Shelby Cunningham return with The Thoroughbreds: what has more high-stakes drama, tension, and intrigue than senior year at a New England boarding school?
September at Tiffin Academy is always a heady time, especially for the senior class—“sixth formers,” in Tiffin-speak—a season of college applications and intense pressure, of partying hard and last hurrahs. As the chapel bells ring in students and staff, everyone has something to look forward to—but in the midst of the anticipation and excitement, nagging questions and dark secrets lurk beneath the surface…
Are Tiffin’s It Couple, Charley and East, on the rocks? What sparked the rift between football star Dub and his best friend Hakeem? Will Pippa Sacks, posh day student, topple the delicate social hierarchy—or wreak even worse havoc? Can Head of School Audre Robinson save her job—and the school—after a disastrous financial mistake? And what was in that email attachment Cinnamon Peters sent to Dub before she died?
Elin Hilderbrand and her daughter Shelby Cunningham answer these questions and more in The Thoroughbreds, a page-turning story about friendship, treachery, ambition, and growing up, at any age.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Elin Hilderbrand and Shelby Cunningham return to Tiffin Academy for another irresistible year of romance, rivalry, and boarding school drama that’s just as welcoming to newcomers as it is to fans of the first novel in the series, The Academy. Charlotte “Charley” Hicks, Andrew “East” Eastman, Davi Banerjee, and their classmates are now sixth-formers, facing college applications, ever-shifting friendships, and the uneasy realization that their time at Tiffin is almost over. Meanwhile, new students and faculty shake up the social order, and Head of School Audre Robinson has problems of her own as both her career and personal life take unexpected turns. Moving easily among students, teachers, and the gossipy collective voice known as “Tiffin Talks,” Hilderbrand and Cunningham give everybody plenty of room to shine. The Thoroughbreds is a warm, dishy sequel that captures both the excitement of senior year and the bittersweet feeling of knowing it can’t last forever.
