Review Time #35

Georgetown Academy Book 4 by Alyssa Schwartz and Jessica Etting

The Georgetown Academy series is back with another installment which has been release TODAY!!! Also out today from the series is the release of season one, so if you haven't read anything of the Gtown series yet (which you totally should!) you go to Amazon and buy the first FOUR books in the series in one go! How awesome is that? Since I was apart of the cover reveal for book 4, I was given a review copy of Georgetown Academy 4 and as apart of the release I am here to post my review! Also don't forget about the 30 things that we love about GA on http://www.georgetownacademyseries.com/

When the vice president resigns and Ellie and Taryn’s parents emerge as the frontrunners, the girls find themselves back in the spotlight.

Ellie could not care less about becoming the Second Daughter, but she knows how much the opportunity to make history means to her mother – and women everywhere. With her family taking center stage, Ellie must decide whether she can put her feelings for Gabe on hold - again.

Taryn, so used to captivating the hearts and minds of everyone she meets, is unbothered by the increased media scrutiny. But an inopportune screw-up has her beholden to an unlikely – and unfriendly – source for help. 

Overnight, Evan has skyrocketed from social pariah to Miss Popular. As she and her reluctant parents adjust to her new lifestyle, the last thing she needs is a front-page scandal.

Brinley can’t stop thinking about her Stowe-bound hook-up…until her father’s intern, Patrick, starts flirting. Is it time to abandon her fling now that she has a more appropriate suitor?

With the second highest office in the land up for grabs, everyone is picking sides. But where does the heart lie when duty, truth, and love collide?


Ellie and Taryn are back in the spotlight when there parents are named frontrunners in the race for vice president, Brinley is still hung up on her Stowe hook up and with the interest shown from Patrick who is a better fit her world and Evan is finally with Hunter but will picking up the wrong coat change her life forever?

Ellie has to put her feelings behind her about Gabe, so that she doesn't ruin her chances at becoming the vice president. But when they said that they wouldn't get involved in their parents political drama, that didn't include with what Ellie's mum says about Gabe's when she is taking a stab his father. However, sometimes it might just be better if she just tells her mother the truth about Gabe and everything that has happened between them.

Taryn and Brooks seem to be getting all well, but when Brinley's dad is in charge of his fathers media campaign, Brinley and Brooks are in charge of Taryn making sure that doesn't say anything that she shouldn't in front of the cameras. But when a scandal that ruin her fathers chance of becoming vice president she doesn't know whether or not she should fess up or let someone else take the blame.

Evan is finally with Hunter and everything seems perfectly fine, expect that her parents want her to spend more time at home, studying, volunteering, not off with Hunter at some socialite party. When she takes the wrong coat from the party she finds what she thinks is mints, not pot candies. Driving Hunters car home from the party she crashes because of the 'mints', when she confesses to Hunter about the coat, he tries to get the person responsible to fess up about what happened.

Brinley doesn't know what to do about the boy drama that she has going on right now, especially when Shane is still texting and Skyping her, then there is Patrick someone for suited for her lifestyle. With her father siding with Taryn's family she has to look like that her and Taryn are friends in public and showing her the ropes of the media. For once Brinley isn't the one with the scandal following her since she kicked her habit, which allows everyone to see a new side of her.

Georgetown Academy 4 is best one yet, scandals, relationships blooming & failing, a vice presidential race and well some characters get what they want & deserve. Once you start you won't stop until your done, following each character through there story is the only way that you will be able to put down  the ebook! 

Rating: 5/5
