Posted by Marisa on June 02, 2009 at 07:29 PM EDT #

Hey! I read Beautiful Disaster, it was SO amazing!! I can't believe the ending, everything was going to be perfect then BOOM SHE comes in. [sorry if that was a spoiler?] But anyways i cannot wait till the next one, it will be so good. Love ya Kate

Posted by Jasi on June 02, 2009 at 08:34 PM EDT #

Hi does someone wanna post spoilers for me? My dad is such a buttface- my advanced english class assigned this for our summer reading and he wont let me get it now beause its "SUMMER READING" can you believe that?!

Posted by Amelie on June 02, 2009 at 08:40 PM EDT #

omg omg omg i loooooooved it i loved th ending bbut i still wish Secrecy would come out sooner

Posted by Samantha Aikens on June 02, 2009 at 08:49 PM EDT #

Loved it :) Read it in a day. Ariana is such a well thought out character. I can't wait to see what Kaitlynn comes up with next too. And I'm really interested in the whole social structure. Everyone is so entangled, it's awesome.

Posted by Kelly on June 02, 2009 at 09:17 PM EDT #

Also, do you have a twitter?

Posted by Kelly on June 02, 2009 at 09:20 PM EDT #

Spoil alert!!!I can't believe Kaitlin is at the school! Ariana thought she got read of her but she didn't so I feel bad for her because now she has to put up with that with the false identity

Posted by Crystal on June 02, 2009 at 11:20 PM EDT #

I've had the book for a couple of days now since my book store got it early, but I just finished it today and- AHHHHHH! I LOVED it! Ariana is so awesome. She's so confidant and conniving and still seems good despite all the bad things she does. It's impossible not to root for her. Love the guys in the book too. Poor Hudson! I can't decide if I want Ariana to end up with him somehow or Palmer. They're both pretty soon worthy.

Posted by MonaLily on June 03, 2009 at 02:09 AM EDT #

It was absoloutely brill! Loved it! Kate, you create really interesting and different characters! They are soooooo different from private characters. I couldn't believe it though! APH really is even better than easton? How is that even possible? :)I have never really liked Ariana but there were so many new cool characters I didn't even mind her so much in this one. It was just great! Cant wait till perfect mistake!

Posted by Rosie on June 03, 2009 at 09:38 AM EDT #

I ordered it on Amazon, but it hasn't arrived yet =/ I can't wait to read it!

Posted by Hannah on June 03, 2009 at 10:18 AM EDT #

is kiren the only roll u can audition for???

Posted by Elizabeth:) on June 03, 2009 at 01:07 PM EDT #

OMG! Beautiful Disaster? Loved it! Ariana? LOVE HER!!! She is seriously the BEST main character you've ever written. I love getting into her seriously twisted mind. APH is totally off the chain. Love the new characters. Lexa's great. It's so cool to see Noelle's opposite. Can't wait for Perfect Mistake!

Posted by Dru on June 03, 2009 at 01:08 PM EDT #

Ugh! I haven't even read the first one yet.....

Posted by The It Girl on June 03, 2009 at 01:19 PM EDT #

Bought it monday. Can't read it for awhile though.i have sooo many books i have to read. : )

Posted by alyssahh on June 03, 2009 at 01:51 PM EDT #

okaaay.i bought it yesterday afternoon and i finished it last night.i love and hate the ending at the same time.but i dont want to give anything away so im just going to say,your an amazing author and i cant wait until suspicion comes out.i have it circled on my calender.

Posted by araxi. on June 03, 2009 at 04:33 PM EDT #

OMG beautiful disaster is SO good !!!!!!!!!!!And i cant wait for suspition . PLEZ put a summary on ur blog !!!!!!!!! <3 ya SARA

Posted by Sara on June 03, 2009 at 08:41 PM EDT #

one word........ amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i actually loved it!! i used to wish Ariana bad luck but now i want everything to work out for her :) as long as she doesnt kill again i hope everything works out!! and i was thinking that it would b soo cool if noelle and ariana met somewhere!!! and like the paths of private and privlege would cross :)

Posted by Jagoda on June 03, 2009 at 09:28 PM EDT #

Posted by Jagoda on June 03, 2009 at 09:29 PM EDT #

I absolutely LOVE how Kate Brian put in the part where Lexa's like, it's like the princess and the pauper. I loved that because she wrote the Princess and the Pauper. So I thought that was really cool. I loved the book though

Posted by Iris on June 03, 2009 at 09:49 PM EDT #

i bought it!! I only read like a couple of chapters, since i have sooo many books i need to read since i buy like 4 a week. well cant wait too finish it and i cant wait for suscpicion (sp?) and the third book in the privelege series!!!!

Posted by TARA on June 03, 2009 at 11:30 PM EDT #

OhMyGosh!! When i finished it (exactly 1 hour after I bought it), I freaked out! I texted my friend at least 6 ohmygods. Please don't let her do anything to Palmer or Tahira (she can't kill the girl just because she's mean!) Ariana and Kaitlynn need to just check each other into Brenda T.! Can Perfect Mistake end up in them killing eachother/themselves? It would be the Perfect Mistake (they wouldn't want to die, but it would be perfect and save everyone close to them from their crazy phsyco ways!)

Posted by Taylor on June 03, 2009 at 11:35 PM EDT #

Beautiful Disaster was fantastic. I didn't get any sleep last night because of the book. I can tell you that it has twists and turns throughout the entire novel. Also,the relationship between Ariana and all of the new characters (and some of the old) is intriguing. In my opinion it was even better than the first novel of the series, though both are done extremely well.

Posted by Gabriella on June 04, 2009 at 11:48 AM EDT #

Beautiful Disaster is so wicked to read of with these secrets and killing...okay i didn't read the book and i'll get it on the weekend, you'll see.

Posted by Dannelle on June 04, 2009 at 12:02 PM EDT #

Okay so I'm on page 74 and so far I loooooooooooooove Beautiful Disaster. I love the new characters, the school, the competition, the way its written (Kate is brilliant!), and I love (okay, maybe not love but..."am intrigued by") the way Ariana thinks. This book is sooo amazing. Definitely my favortie Kate book by far. One question...(can anyone clear this up?) what is the timeline for the privilege books? Ariana mentions that it is three years since she was a junior...so she should be in her first year at Princeton. Which means that Reed and Noelle and etc. are in there first year of college...I'm just kind of confused. : )

Posted by alyssahh on June 04, 2009 at 12:04 PM EDT #

I absolutely love this book. I have to say my new favorite character in the Privelege series is Lexa, shes such a sweetheart and a breathe of fresh air and veyr original from the Billings Girls (who i sitll love the most). lol But, Idk something about Palmer annoys me a little. lol I feel like he leads Ariana on. But anyway, Kate Brian, well done...once again and to no surprise, you have written yet another unbeleivable book. :) Keep it going. <3

Posted by Rebecca on June 04, 2009 at 01:05 PM EDT #

OMG! hi okay so wow!I never liked ariana i think shes crazy and she is but i want her to just move and i really hate kaitlyn uggh she makes me sick and i wish ariana was just ariana and she didnt have to pretend to be different people but thats impossible :) Wow it was amazing and i cant wait for the next ones! xoxoxo ohh and i adore Palmer! and i love the names you choose too!

Posted by Allie on June 04, 2009 at 03:02 PM EDT #

I cannot wait until suspicion.i just re`read the whole privaye series and im dying.im begging you-cant you put up the first chapter like you did for paradise lost!? i absolutley cannot wait until september. lovee your books.byee

Posted by jezebel on June 04, 2009 at 03:59 PM EDT #

its good but i thought ariana didnt want to kill again but there she is WITH VIOLENT THOUGHTS!!??? I( with exeption of kaitlyn)

Posted by chloe g on June 05, 2009 at 09:14 PM EDT #

wow i have read many books and your private series is definielty a favorite of mine i just recieved the first two books in your new privilege series and i finished them both in two days! i am waiting for bn.com to have the 3rd in this series and i am also waiting for the 10th-suspicion in the private series. thank you for providing me with amazing books to keep happy and waiting for more- p.s.- i am really interested to see how many books their will be in both series'.

Posted by amanda h on June 07, 2009 at 12:56 AM EDT #

OMg katie u did it again!!! I LOVED BEAUTIFUL DISASTER :) APH rules!I cant belive what Kaitlynn did and now she also has 1 mill :0 and i wish Ariana hadnt done that to Hudson he was sooo perfect for her but i do love Palmer ;)Cant wait for Suspicion and Perfect Mistake their gonna be great :) Love u Katie keep writin <3

Posted by Brianne on June 07, 2009 at 02:11 PM EDT #

I luvvvvvv it! it was soo suspenceful but im soo upset Kaitlynn is at APH, its going to ruin Arianas life! I soo hope she douesnt tell Arianas secret or blackmail Ariana. Even though Ariana sort of doesnt deserve to get everything she wanted, I still feel bad for her and I want her to be happy and change her bad ways!! Ariana was nicer in this book, she didnt really try to steal Palmer until the end and she wouldnt let him be unfaithful and flirt with her. She really was getting better and i just want her to be free and get the happy life she wanted! Kate, your books never fail to amaze and entice me. I cant stop thinking about wats gona happen next and im sooooo looking forward to reading about Reed and Josh<3<3, pleez include muccchhh more if Josh in Suspicion!!!!

Posted by Kerri on June 07, 2009 at 04:35 PM EDT #

omg! the ending of the book was definitly the best part!I loved ALL the new characters and i acturally do feel bad for Ariana in the end when Kaitlynn is at the school! She is toast! I can't wait for the next book or wait to find out what happened to reed!

Posted by Laura on June 08, 2009 at 05:08 PM EDT #

OMG!!!! I LOVED Beautiful Disaster. I didn't think I was going to get into the series because I really didn't like Ariana in the Private series but I aboslutely LOVE the series now. Lexa is wonderful she kinda reminds me of all the Billings girls like Noelle, Kiran, and Taylor all mixed into one. Like she has the automatic power that Noelle has, the beauty of Kiran, and the innocence of Taylor. I LOVE it. I also love it cause APH is completely different from Easton but not in a bad way. Can't wait for the next ones.

Posted by Brooke on June 09, 2009 at 09:32 PM EDT #

I love all of your books they are so great. I thought it was really cool and crazy to see the way Ariana didn't really think that much of killing people. Like when she was planning her day and the thought of going to kill Kaitlyn was no more than going to get a coffee or something. It was such a great book and i liked it from her perspective. Your books are so addictive and you cant put them down. Cant wait for Suspicion and Perfect Mistake.

Posted by Brienna on June 10, 2009 at 06:03 PM EDT #

This book....is Brilliant!! i love it sooo much!! i like Maria the best and i feel sooo sorry for Ariana cause she did all that work and now Kaitlyn is going to APH??? thats a bombshell!! I wanna know hows Ariana gonna handle Kaitlyn there?? thats why i'm soo excited for the next one!! kate you make the best books!!Cant wait untill Suspicion i love Reed, and i hope she finds out who pushed her off the boat!!

Posted by mikaila on June 11, 2009 at 11:55 AM EDT #

wow, i love this book i bought it the other night and read it all today!! the ending was scary! i love lexa shes so sweet cant wait for the next one in oct.!!! :)

Posted by Carly on June 13, 2009 at 08:04 AM EDT #

I'm so mad! I can't get beautiful Disaster until the end of the month! My friend (another major fan thanks to me forcing her to read Private) wont stop bugging me about when I'm getting it. Our library takes FOREVER to get new books. They STILL don't have Last Christmas. Oh well I don't have much longer to wait.

Posted by Alicia on June 13, 2009 at 11:51 AM EDT #

WOW I loved this book, can you get the next one out faster please! I cannot believe the ending. AND I can't wait for suspicion, I really want to know who pushed Reed off the Boat. Talk about a cliffhanger. I LOVE Maria I think she is my fav. new character.

Posted by Kate on June 14, 2009 at 03:41 PM EDT #

it was a great book! but i really want the next book now i cant belive kaitlynn is going to aph that must suck... and i really want to kno wat happens next.....and i aslo cant wait to see who pushed reed into the water. me and my friend amy (also a fan)are like trying to figure out who did it. i have every private book that is out (including last christmas)xcept 4 teh first 1 and i have beautiful disater.. cant wait for more books. suspicion and perfect mistake are so far away .. i hope i can make it by thenor i might chew my head off lol. luckly its ove rthe summer so im busy lol.

Posted by owneverybookgirl <3 on June 14, 2009 at 09:51 PM EDT #

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE BOOK!!!! ITS A TORTURE TO HAVE TO WAIT TILL OCTOBER!! GOD! KAITLYNN MAKES ME SOO MAD!!! kate, u have to come to a book signing to seattle

Posted by melissa on June 15, 2009 at 07:55 PM EDT #

First of all I have to congatulate you, Beautiful Disaster is a Mater Piece, but that ending? Come on Kate! Do you life to see your fans suffering? You did the same with Paradise Lost. I cannot wait for Suspicion and Perfect Mistake. I though I'd never say this but give Arianna a break, she finnally was starting to get things her way, and a minute later-Bum!- Kaitlynn goes to APH, you've got to be kitting me. Anyways keep with the good work, don't you the stop brainstorming for the next books, hope that yoy writing Suspicion and Perfect Mistake sequels. Take care.

Posted by Carlota on June 15, 2009 at 09:23 PM EDT #

omgomgomg, beautiful disaster was AMAZING!! i love how it kept me in suspense until the end....I can't wait until Suspicions comes out, too! These books are seriously AWESOMEEEEEEEE!! <3

Posted by Alycia on June 15, 2009 at 09:37 PM EDT #

holy freaking crap! i could not put the book down. i give you serious props. you really know how to write an amazing book! or should i say books. everytime one of the books in the private and privilege series comes out, i freak. i have to have it that instant. i seriously can't wait for the others to come out. i'm so drawn to them. i'm definately going to have to read some other books by you to occupy myself :D all i have to say is keep up the good work. like i said before, you REALLY know how to write a great book. :) p.s. the ending totally shocked me! i so thought kaitlynn would go to australia! i can't wait to see what new problems pop up :)

Posted by natalie gregg on June 16, 2009 at 12:34 AM EDT #

AHHH!! I <3 Palmer! You did so amazingly awesome on describing the PERFECT guy! Ah I wish he were real! I don't know if I will be able to wait until October for Perfect Mistake to come out! Suspicion is almost here though! ~Elyssa

Posted by Elyssa on June 16, 2009 at 01:57 PM EDT #

OMG!! I KNOW, how could kaitlynn just end up at the school?!?!!?!?!?! THE BAD PART IS: KAITLYNN KNOWS EVERYTHING THERE IS TO KNOW ABOUT ARIANA FROM HER WHOLE LIFE!! she has the power to manipulate her in millions of ways... that sucks.. lol BUT THE PRIVATE SERIES AND THE PRIVILEDGE SERIES ROCKS! CANT WAIT FOR PERFECT MISTAKE.

Posted by nnenna on June 16, 2009 at 03:51 PM EDT #

The book was over-all good. The only part was that I thought was sketchy was how stupid Ariana was.

Posted by Siobhan Lucey Donohoe on June 18, 2009 at 05:29 PM EDT #

Ariana is werid !!!!!!!!!! I loved your books Kate. Can Susispon come out early?

Posted by Siobhan Donohoe on June 18, 2009 at 05:32 PM EDT #

OMG! I love your writing! The book was amazing! I don't think I've ever supported Ariana until now! I love Soomie and Lexa! I can't wait for the next book!

Posted by Elizabeth on June 20, 2009 at 04:33 PM EDT #

OMG PALMER SOUNDS LIKE A GOD! I LIKE LEXA TOO THAT'S WHAT EVERYONE AT SCHOOL CALLS ME!!!!! HA HA HA! WHAT A QUINKY DINK! GREAT BOOK! I LUV IT! HATE KAITLYNN!

Posted by Alexa on June 22, 2009 at 10:46 AM EDT #

honestly i loved the book but the ending cmon? i was so happy that kaitilyn was gone and i wanted to see ariana at aph without kaitilyn why must she come back? not cool

Posted by andrea on June 23, 2009 at 12:31 AM EDT #

OMG!!OMG!!OMG!! This book is amazing!! I just bought it 3hours ago and i already finished it! This book is really awesome, once you started reading it, you can't even put it down anymore! And the ending? Come on, Kate! Why does Kaitlynn always have to ruin everything! But I loved the ending though! It will make things at APH all the more exciting! I'm starting to like Ariana even though she really has a twisted mind. It's just all because of that stupid Kaitlynn! And I love Palmer by the way! He and Ariana are so good together! Poor Hudson though, he's also good for Ariana so I'm not sure who to choose! Can't wait for Suspicion and Perfect Mistake!! Can't you please just post the first chapter here like you did before!! All of us can't wait anymore!

Posted by Shiela on June 24, 2009 at 04:15 AM EDT #

I read the book a few weeks ago and i've been reminding myself to telll you about it!OMG! I'm totally in LOVE With PALMER LIRIANO!!!Lexa's too nice, and when Ariana didn't stand up for her when Palmer was going to confront her...what a shame. Is that Kaitlynn N. on Perfect Mistake! Palmer and Ariana (well Briana Leigh BL for short)are good 2gether but what about Lexa? She's too nice and now...!Well okay.

Posted by Tyra Samone' on June 24, 2009 at 10:39 AM EDT #

I am so mad that Lexa and Palmer had to break up I wish there good just be a connection between the two of them but Palmer tries to ignore it. I wish he wasn't such a decent guy. Who is Lexa going to be with now and what about Soomie is she going to find out about Maria? And what about Kaitlyn coming there what is she going to request of Arianna? Like everyone thought she was finally gone but no she had to come back and create more drama it was kind of obvious that she would still be around but still to just come to the school. What I like about it is that they have the one dorm that is for both boys and girls. But I hate that Lexa gets dumped because she was only trying to be a good friend to Arianna and Arianna instead is stealing her boyfriend and Lexa has no idea. Is Landon and Maria going to be ratted out in the new book because it would totally make sense because maybe Maria does something and now Arianna has something to hold against her.

Posted by Nicole on June 29, 2009 at 06:22 PM EDT #

Heyyy Kate!!! BEAUTIFUL DISASTER WAS AMAZING! It was REALLY good!! thank u sooo much! At first I just used to say my favorite author is Kate Brian, but after reading Beautiful Disaster I'm sure its YOU!!! I really liked the new characters in this book, especially Lexa and Palmer. And omg I HATE Kaitlynn!!!!! ughhh! But anyways, I have a feeling Kaitlynn is going to be Ariana's new roomate in Privilege House!!! ICK! Anyways yes I CANT WAIT TILL SUSPICION AND PERFECT MISTAKE!!!! HURRYYY! PLZ!

Posted by Zaina Zaheer on July 04, 2009 at 05:31 PM EDT #

i loved Beautiful Disaster! I can't wait to read Perfect Mistake!i can't wait to see what happens with Kaitylnn
