In this insightful novel, we are introduced to a diverse cast of characters whose lives intersect in unexpected ways as they navigate the complex social landscape of their school.
At the heart of the story is the eponymous concept of class, both in terms of socioeconomic status and the hierarchical structure that governs social interactions among students. From the popular clique at the top of the social ladder to the outcasts and misfits at the bottom, each character grapples with their own insecurities, desires, and aspirations as they seek to find their place within the school’s social hierarchy.

From the pressures of conformity to the allure of rebellion, each character’s journey serves as a mirror reflecting the complexities of adolescence and the universal desire to find acceptance and validation in the eyes of others.
But beneath the surface of teenage drama and social intrigue lies a deeper commentary on the broader issues of privilege and inequality that permeate society at large. As the characters confront their own biases and assumptions, they are forced to confront the uncomfortable truths about their own privilege and complicity in perpetuating the status quo.
