The Easton Circle

At Easton Academy, legacy means everything.

For generations, the children of Manhattan's wealthiest and most influential families have walked the academy's marble hallways before moving seamlessly into Ivy League universities, political dynasties, and lives already mapped out for them long before graduation.

Vivienne Aldrich has spent her entire life preparing to become exactly the person everyone expects her to be. Alongside her closest friends, known throughout the Upper East Side as the Easton Circle, she moves through a world of black-tie galas, penthouse parties, private drivers, and impossible expectations with practiced ease.

To outsiders, they have everything:
beauty, money, connections, and futures most people could only dream about.

But beneath the polished appearances and carefully maintained reputations, each member of the Circle is quietly unraveling under the pressure of becoming someone extraordinary before they've even had the chance to figure out who they are.

As senior year unfolds, friendships begin shifting, relationships grow complicated, college decisions loom closer, and the future they once accepted without question suddenly feels terrifyingly uncertain.

Set against the backdrop of winter in Manhattan, The Easton Circle is a coming-of-age story about growing up inside a world built on legacy and perfection, and what happens when the people who have known each other forever begin changing in ways they can't stop.
