Review: Elite - Carrie Aarons


Elite

Review: Elite - Book #2 Privileged -Carrie Aarons - February 2018
Carrie Aarons is back with her Privileged series and introduces us to Eloise Mason who is friends with Nora Randolph - from the first book.  Eloise was like Nora and wasn't always wealthy until her father starred in a film which later led him to be one of Britain's best male lead actors and set her family into the wealthy category. Eloise dreams of being a chef, and after studying at the Sorbonne, she wants a change of pace and heads to Jade Mountain in Vermont. She applies for a semester abroad in the USA. The college she has chosen is anything but normal, and Eloise is about to be introduced to the world of the Elite's children with secret societies, scandals, and secrets - anything to keep on top of the world. At Jade Mountain, Eloise meets Colton Reiter - the star Basketball player; he is a basketball prodigy. Though like Eloise was, he wasn't always accustomed to this world and lately he has been doing and involved in some dodgy dealings to help his mother back home. What will happen though when he's had enough and tries to back out? Will his position in the world of the "Elite" come crashing down and everything he has ever worked for - vanish overnight and he has to return to his rags world of the living? As a fan of New Adult romance and boarding school novels, I loved Carrie Aarons's Elite as it takes us into a world that most of us only ever dream about and it does get you thinking - is having all that money make you happy? Recently, this has had me thinking as I watched the UK show Rich House, Poor House and they had a family life swap with one family from the 10% wealthy and the 10% poor and they had to live each other's lives for a week. The ones who went from no money to money - loved living in luxury as it was an experience and a treat but the ones who went from money to poor found their family unit getting closer and spent quality time with each other, something they had never really done before. It's almost a no-win situation.
