THERE ARE PLENTY OF upsides to being the spawn of the fabulously wealthy. But the downside? Super successful parents expect nothing less from their offspring.
And when it comes to college, that means the Ivies. It's more than just getting into college. It's setting a course for the rest of your life.
Mine is going to a great school and then be a trophy wife to whomever guy I meet there. At least that is what it means for my dad — to be fair, he has never said it but if you know Isak Tesfaye you would know it's all about the subtext, about everything that isn't said.

"As is our long-standing tradition, the Constance Billard girls will be in charge of fridays mixer.

Noticing, she rubs her thumb over my knuckle — snapping at Isabel and Katie instead of my hand in half.
