Unfortunately I read this book and frankly, if it were for adults, about adults, it might be decent. Zoey Dean seems to be one of the masters of smut for young girls. Here is my review in case you are a parent wondering.

So this book was another one recommended by my friend Alexandra. Overall, I thought this book was an okay read. From the cover and title, I thought it would be about some rich girls living snobby lives, stuff we see on the television like 90210, Gossip Girls, NYC Prep type. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE watching those shows, trashy dramas and trashy reality shows like The Hills, but I don't really enjoy reading books like that. I think I'm more of the visual person. THroughout this book, the main p...more

I really didn't like this book. The only reason i read past the first chapter was because i didn't have anything else to read. The whole book, i suspect was about what rich girls were doing. I know how people say don't judge a book by it's cover, but i do that before reading most books. Guess what? I was right. When i first saw this book, i didn't like the cover, but i didn't have much time to pick another book. I really don't recommend this book to anyone who like adventures or anything that is...more

What's in store for Cammie and her BF Adam? Will Adam find a horrible secret about Cammie's mothers disapperance and W...more
I'll give the book a "4" because I enjoyed the storyline, but the editors get a big fat "0". I have noticed one or two irritating editing errors throughout the series, but this book had multiple mistakes. Spelling errors and missing and/or misplaced words really shouldn't make it into the final edit of a book. The consistent name dropping is getting a little old as well. However, I am still looking forward to continuing the series. I enjoyed the turn the ending took, and am happy to see some dra...more

How I Came To Read This Book: Danielle lent it to me!
The Plot: Anna Percy convinces her LA 'friends' to go to prom - but Sam has another idea in mind. Namely, she's setting out to shoot a prom documentary expose on the B-List girls that plan prom, befriending them yet simultaneously referring to them as the 'prom weenies' behind their back. Meanwhile Cammie is struggling with a dark secret from her family past that threatens her relationship with Adam, and Dee is finally on the path to normalcy...more

Didn't realize it was the middle of a series, but even so..... story wasn't that great. Beverly Hills girls typical drama while planning a prom. Ugly girl lost weight now pretty, ignored by daddy issues, newer girl with ex-boyfriend of one of the other main girl's ex-boyfriend, wanna-be producer was going to make fun of all the non a-listers at prom and ends up liking them and being prom queen and has to change her whole documentary to be a better person. It was ok

so book 6 is adding a whole new level of problems. What i especially like about this series is that the characters I used to hate are beginning to grow on me. we're seeing new sides that haven't yet become overdone or hypocritical. now, just waiting to see where book 7 takes me...
Either the books are getting worse or I'm starting to realize hoe bad thery really are.
I mean, I liked the first five of these books, but then some of the characters started to get to me and the whole hollywood beauty image and how much this series revolves aroud this has started to get to me. It's just frustrating to read.
The only reason I'm rating this three stars is becuase of some of the storylines. You take away some of the frustrations and the storylines get interesting, and it leaves of...more

Gotta admit I liked this book because Ben & Anna are tight here. It made me loved their pairing even more. <3 I liked Sam more here, and my dislike for Cammie because slightly lower and made me realize she and Adam deserve each other. Plus, Dee & Jack are super adorable ♥
the idea that 6 books in and characters are still taking new shapes is great. i like the development of the story even though it is only 6 months in.

Wierd but once you read halfway into the story and notice something is really wrong, you can't stop. DON'T START READING THE BOOK!!!!!!
It's like real prom drama times ten. You get the drunken kiss, the player falling in love, and of course why the heck did I do that moments. It's not just any prom: It's Hollywood's prom.
This book was pretty slow in the beginning for me. And then everything becomes really dramatic at the end. Pretty predictable even though what happened to Sam was pretty surprising...

I never saw the ending coming! Who knew Sam's boy friend was going to come back? That really caught me off guard. But I felt kind of uneasy though. For some reason I really don't like Ben and Anna as a couple... But overall it was really good. And I'm glad especially when I read that Dee got better and met someone special. Ooh! I just hope my prom would be half as good as this one!
Reading the next
SO far this book is similar to the Clique series but more geared toward the Gossip Girl crowd. Rich friends going to prom what will happen you know the story line...it just amazes me how these HS kids are always drinking in these books. It makes me wonder if that really happens to the "rich" people.

So the A-List was the catty teenager series I chose to read for my young adult lit class...... Four years later, yup.
This book is so good they didn't even HAVE to proofread it, apparently.
