by Alexandra Brown Chang
Every year, a hand-selected group of young women travel to Paris to make their debuts into high society at La Danse des Debutantes, the most exclusive debutante ball in the world. Being wealthy, royal, or famous gets you into the pool of potential debutantes, but only La Danse decides who is truly worthy of attending. Chapin Buckingham, the daughter of two Hollywood legends, is one of the lucky few chosen to attend. Chapin's not usually a society girl, but she has her reasons for wanting to be crowned Debutante of the Year. Her chances seem good...until a fellow debutante creates a PR nightmare that has the eat-the-rich cohort calling for La Danse's cancellation. Enter Piper Woo Collins. As the daughter of an EMT and winner of the International Science Fair Prize with a profile in Teen Vogue, Piper is the perfect, down-to-earth person who could restore La Danse's reputation. But Piper isn't interested in becoming a debutante--until they offer her a college scholarship...if she wins Debutante of the Year.
