Natalie Sterling has always been a straight-laced overachiever. She doesn't intend to change that for senior year; however, her untarnished reputation proves to be just one of the many things she can't control. Vivian clearly knows her private school setting and she has a knack for vivid characters. The dialogue often overwhelms characterizations, though, and the conclusion is clichéd.
