"It's move-in day at Tiffin Academy and amid the happy chaos of friends reuniting, selfies uploading, and cars unloading, shocking news arrives: America Today just ranked Tiffin the number two boarding school in the country. It's a seventeen-spot jump--was there a typo? The dorms are dingy, the sports teams always come in last, and let's just say Tiffin students are known for being more social than brainy. On the other hand, the campus is exquisite, class sizes are small, and the dining hall is run by a New York chef. And they do have fun--lots of parties and school dances, and a piano man plays in the student lounge every week. But before Tiffin students and faculty can pat themselves on the back, the wheels begin to turn--and then they fall off the bus. Thanks to a new app called Zip Zap, scandalous blind items start appearing on phones across Tiffin's campus, and nobody is safe. From Davi Banerjee, queen bee and international influencer; to Simone Bergeron, the young new history teacher; to Charley Hicks, a transfer student who seems determined not to fit in; to Cordelia Spooner, an admissions director with a somewhat idiosyncratic methodology--everyone has something to hide. As the year unfolds, bonds are forged and broken, secrets are shared and exposed, and the lives of Tiffin's students and staff are changed forever"-- Dust jacket flap.
