MS - ADVISABLE, HS - OPTIONAL

Connecticut and Alabama are worlds apart and Annie McRae is feeling torn in two. Moving into the sphere of control of her grandmother makes Annie uncomfortable, especially when she feels that Gram is trying to control her life. Annie has no desire to be a deb, but that is what Gram wants, and Gram controls the money that Annie needs to escape to college at the end of the year. Annie is not sure if she if white gloves are a good trade for her educational freedom.

As opposed to the really harsh debutante books I have read before, this one is cute without being cloying.
