A captivating, scandalous look into the privileged and turbulent world of five fabulous guys living in Manhattan's trendiest neighborhoods. Jonathan is the leader of the pack-but what will happen if the pack falls apart? Arno's way with the girls makes you wonder, can boys be sluts? David is known as the nice guy, but will he stay that way? Mickey is always in trouble, and Patch is just MIA. They've got rich parents, go to top schools, and have hip friends. With so many parties to go to, colleges to impress, girls to win over, and so much money to spend, who can keep track of it all? And can true friendship really shine through in the end? J. Minter's keen eye for urban teens, their dialogue, and the details of New York City's high life make this a guilty pleasure for readers of the Gossip Girl series and other glitterati novels.

The party from the guys' point of view... Rumors are spreading about Jonathan and his friends. Jonathan's dad seems to have lost all his money. David's dad is a sham. Arno's parents are splitting up. And if the parents aren't enough, the girls aren't making sense either. Who will hook up? Who will get dumped? And what happens when the guys betray each other? Find out in the next installment of The Insiders. Psst...pass it on.

Jonathan, Mickey, David, Arno, and Patch have it all: they've got rich parents, live in Manhattan's trendiest neighborhoods, and attend the best schools. But when the five friends enroll in a School-at-Sea program, how far will good looks, credit cards, and privilege take them? Not far enough! Three weeks o0n a luxury yacht in the Mediterranean should spell smooth sailing. But with Jonathan missing Flan, Mickey and Arno fighting over the same girl, Patch playing the hero, and David having a wild time of his own, the guys just might be ready for a little shore leave...

It's that time of one of New York's premier magazines is compiling its annual "Hottest Private School Boy" issue. Jonathan, Mickey, David, Arno, and Patch all figure they're shoo-ins, but will the competition to be chosen as the cover model tear the guys apart? Add to that a few twists and turns in their love lives, a visit from an internationally acclaimed photographer (whose specialty is nude crowd shots), and an invasion by a clique of Upper East Side It Girls, and the Insiders might find themselves clamoring for a way out .

When it's time to start thinking about college, which campuses do New York City's five hottest guys visit first? Ones where the girls outnumber the guys, obviously. On a road trip to Vassar, Jonathan is astonished to discover that his brother, Ted, is now considered cool . Mickey decides to turn the camera on himself―sans clothing. Arno finds his first love . . . he just needs to figure out where she went. Patch is searching for the perfect college for himself and Greta―but are they destined to be together? And David finds an amazing girlfriend . . . until she moves in with his family. If getting into college looks complicated from the outside, just imagine how wild it is for an Insider!

They've loved, lost, and totally obsessed, and now the Insiders' girls are out for revenge… even if it means turning the Insiders into real boyfriends. Flan―the youngest and the ringleader. She's ready for Jonathan to care about her…exclusively! Philippa―Mickey's messed things up so many times, but he does love her. But can she turn him into the boy of her dreams? Liesel―remember the girl from uptown who drove Arno crazy? She's ba- aack . Sara Beth Benny ―she's a star, and wants David to be one too. But can David fake feelings?! And Patch's mystery girl―He doesn't even know her, but boy, does she know him… Watch out! The Insiders may never look at each other―or girls―the same way again.

Flan Flood finally has her life in order. Her new, normal friends from school get along with her celebrity friends and she couldn't be happier being Just Flan. But right when life is settling down, Flan's friends all fall for the same hot quarterback Adam whose smile is as winning as his throwing arm. And when Flan's BFF, teen-starlet Sarah-Beth Benny, decides to throw a glam costume party, Flan's friends each vow to kiss their football prince by midnight at the big bash. Suddenly, Flan finds herself in the middle of an all-out battle for Adam's attention. Can Flan convince Meredith and Judith that girlfriends are way more important than any guy, or will Flan find herself dangerously stuck in the middle?
