IN TOO DEEP
Jennifer Banash

Reviewed by Morgan Chilson
Posted December 15, 2008

Young Adult

In the Elite world of New York's high society, Casey feels like an outsider. Moving in cliques where the girls have money, style and a strong sense of who they are causes Casey to doubt herself and struggle to fit in. But Drew loves her, and even though she feels a little guilty about how ultra-snotty Madison is taking the fact that Casey is dating her ex-boyfriend, life still looks darned good.

But like most things in the teen years, Casey finds that her good feelings ebb and flow. It is clear Drew still has some kind of connection to Madison, and he's been distant lately.

Madison is being challenged by her own demons. She still can't believe Drew fell for that little hick Casey, and she's thrilled with the opportunity to model. Maybe. It seems that nothing is going as she planned.

This second book in the Elite series is a twist on the standard ups and downs of teenage life. While these kids have more money (with the exception of Casey), they suffer the same insecurities and angst the rest of the teenage world does. While the writing is excellent, I struggled a little with this subject matter. I'd like to see the author shed some light for teens on the subjects that challenge them. Instead, these books feel a little like the emptiness of a soap opera. Lots of drama, little depth. And yet, despite that, I will read the next book; because Ms. Banash does a good job at creating compelling characters, and I want to know what happens.

SUMMARY

If you donโ€™t belong hereโ€” you just donโ€™t belongโ€ฆ

The Bramford buildingโ€™s newest resident and small-town transplant Casey McCloy is adapting to life in the Big Apple and loving it. Sheโ€™s got the look, the attitude, and a delish new boyfriend, Drew Van Allen. But sheโ€™s starting to have second thoughts as to whether the โ€œNew Yorkโ€ Casey is the real Casey. And sheโ€™s not so sure she likes herself much anymore. Sheโ€™s not the only one.

Madison Macallister has always had her Manolo Blahniks firmly planted on the top rung of the social ladderโ€”until that corn-fed cow Casey stole Drew away from her and made her look the fool. So what if Madison wasnโ€™t exactly dating Drew at the time? She wanted him. And everyone knows that Madison gets what she wants, like Drewโ€” and a little revenge.
