Entitled rich private school kids have beef with each other about sex and religion. That's it, that's the book. 

This book had a great concept! I was so excited about this book but the execution was not great. I think it took itself way too seriously and just wound up being a bit pretentious. All of the characters were absolutely terrible people, with little to no redeeming qualities. The ending was somewhat satisfying in a sick kind of way.
