What this book is about
In 2118 Manhattan, a thousand-story tower houses all of society — with the wealthy at the top and the poor at the bottom. Five teenagers' interconnected lives converge toward a death on the tower's thousandth floor. McGee's YA series opener is Gossip Girl in a futuristic setting: glamorous, fast-paced, full of secrets, and propelled by the question of which of these beautiful people fell.
