This is an intriguing novel about a teenage girl named Anna Percy. Anna is a straight A student and almost to good at everything. Her best friend Cynthia or Cyn however is the complete opposite. Cyn is wild, brave, and likes her spotlight but Anna is more of a subtle humble girl. Though Anna doesn't mind being a goody two shoes, she is jealous of Cyn and desperately wants to be like her. This novel is about how Anna travels to L.A. to do an internship and bond with her dad for a while. This does...more

Among the more popular current YA series, "The A-List" is truly a bottom-feeder. Created by Cherie Bennett and Jeff Gottesfeld, the folks who pioneered bottom-feeding back in the day with "Sunset Island," "The A-List" follows the exploits of a debutante NY transplant as she deals with a trio of pampered LA celebrispawn. The series moves at an astonishingly snail-like pace, so this 200+ page book only takes you through 48 hours or so in the characters' lives. You don...more

I'm a little embarassed to admit it, but I really enjoyed this book and now I kind of want to read them all. My students asked for this series and love the books. I thought I should check one out to see what kind of trashy teen lit I'm buying for my library. I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, the characters are super rich teens who drink, sleep around, and party while Dean name-drops expensive fashion. But the characters are real and surprisingly sympathetic, and I want to kn...more

This book was very good. At first i was not that interested in it, but as i got into the middle i started to enjoy it. This book is about a young teenage girl named Anna Percy and she was the perfect girl in her town until she met these three other well known girls: Sam, De and Cammie. They were very rude to her because she was going out with the cutest boy and they were jealous. They understood how Ben felt abouit Anna and decided to give her another chance. Anna Percy had to face many aspects ...more

I really like Poppy Books (an imprint of Little, Brown, and Co.), but this book just isn't that amazingly hooking compared to The Clique and Gossip Girl. The characters are a little washed-out, The personalities too out of this world to enjoy, and the plotline is too over the top and expected. I did not like this book, even though it ends in a cliffhanger, so I'll probably read the next one. That is, if my friend buys the next one. It's not good enough to buy on your own money.

anyone who liked gossip girls
If you are looking for an interesting book to read on a rainy day or if you are really bored, this book is the book for you. In this book you get wrapped up in a glamourous lifestyle--similar to the one in the Gossip Girl series--and you have a chance to relate to the main character who is new to the L.A scene. This book is about a girl who normally doesn't take any risks but she decides to go to L.A to live with her dad and try to become a more interesting, outgoing, and risky person.

This book revolves around rich teenagers who live the party life and their lives revolve around drama. the teenagers usually get what they want and their parents spoil them so they can basically do anything. Their family lives arent the best and it shows money cant buy everything. The conflicts that go on throughout the book are realistic and it shows how rich people live with the drama and the pressures of being rich.

I loved this book! It's about a girl that is moving to live with her father in California from New York and about a guy that she meets on a plane. Hes handsome, and smart, and seems like hes really into her! She ends up going to a wedding with him and meeting many other girls that are completeley in love with him...or lust. I suggest this book to people that love fun, flirty, fast reads.

mature teens
If you like The Clique and Gossip Girl, this book falls right into that category. A rich girl from New York, Anna, decides to move in with her dad in L.A. She decides to change her way of life and be more outgoing. She meets the a-listers. A group of girls and a boy who they all seem to like in one way or another. I would only recommend this book for very mature girls and teens

This is the first book in a series about rich kids in Beverly Hills. It reminds me alot of the television show Gossip Girl (which I LOVE!) and is filled with a bunch of rich kid drama. I thought is was pretty entertaining. It is a really quick read, I think I read it in about 4 hours. So if you are into reading soap opera type books give it a try!

This is a great easy chickflick that i think that everyone should read. It is full of scandal and intrigue that keeps u hooked and wanting to read more. I recommend that you read it during the summer thought because i guarantee you that your not going to be able to put it down. Also, read the rest of the series which is equally as good or better!!!

Teenage Girls
A very good book. The characters were very dynamic and created good conflicts throughout the story. Very interesting, keeps you guessing what's going to happen next. Each chapter was from a different character in the book's viewpoint which gave you a very good idea of all the characters feelings about what was happening.

It wasn't the perfect book. (I'm not sure if any books about the a-list are that good.) I do like Anna (thank you for not stooping to any levels below yourself). Except for the part where she was dressed like a cheap hooker. Not really a plot, and it kind of felt like a "woe, is me" and "my life sucks" story.

(This is going to be a really short review--->)This is a pretty good start off to the A-List series. It's not as easy to get into as some teen series similar to this one, but it has a nice change, because a lot of teen book series are based in the east coast, where as this one takes place in California.

A definite book for teenage girls. This book deals with the problems, trials, and tribulations of growing up in a city where pretending to be older, and acting like you're way older than you are is socially acceptable, not only that but it is also frowned upon if you don't.
