Eastbrooke Academy Books in Order

Eastbrooke Academy is Jillian Dodd's answer to the question, where do the children of the outrageously rich and famous go to be dramatic? The answer is a boarding school where old money, celebrity families, private jets, princes, and bad decisions all seem to share the same schedule.

Aubrey Lane Arrington walks into that world already carrying a lot. She is the daughter of a famous actress and a high-profile father, she has history with Branson Johnson, and she would honestly prefer not to be swallowed by the school's social machine. Naturally, Eastbrooke has other plans.

The fun of this series is how openly it embraces excess. There are legendary family names, impossible parties, tense friendships, social climbing, romantic damage, and a general feeling that every weekend could become gossip by Monday. But Lane is not just drifting through rich-kid spectacle. She is dealing with real questions about loyalty, identity, and whether the version of love she has been chasing is actually the one she wants.

Prince Augie, Branson, Johnny Fab, and the wider friend circle keep the emotional landscape moving. Alliances change. Friendships crack and mend. Public image matters, sometimes too much. The setting may be extravagant, but the underlying tension is recognizable, first love, changing feelings, and the fear of picking the wrong future.

If you like school drama with a luxury setting, high emotion, and a heroine who refuses to stay neatly inside other people's expectations, Eastbrooke Academy is a good next stop after Keatyn or London Prep.
