people who are very bored with their lives.
(I've read a couple books from the series so this isn't only a review on the first one.)
I admit that this book is entertaining, watching girls throw around their money without a second thought about the starving kids in Africa (yes I know that everyone's tired of the phrase but it's true, and only a visit to a third world country can make you realize that.) - but that's all I can really get from it.

Massie Block believes her life is perfect until her father's college friend (Jay Lyons) moves into their guest house with his family (wife, Judi, son, Todd, and daughter, Claire). Her father, William Block, allows them to live there while they are searching for a new home. The Lyons move all the way from Orlando, Florida, to Westchester, New York. Because they arrive on the same day as Massie's spa trip with her friends (Labor Day), Massie's mother makes her stay home to meet and greet them. (Ma...more

These books are great, plus they are totally unexpected! I was just looking for a book that would be simple to read and since I am a girl, some that would be real easy to relate to. Well, I saw this book in the store and I thought this would be a perfect over-the-top take on modern day middle school cliques and after I started reading it I realized I was not reading what I thought I was reading, it was something BETTER! These books talk about a 12-year-old, clothing obessed girl named Massie who...more

This is a terrible book, part of a series that is at the top of many children's bestseller lists. It is part of that huge chunk of media that reinforces cruel behavior among teenage girls. Here are the popular and rich kids (no coincidence that the two traits go together): Massie, Bridget, Alicia, and Kristen. Here is the pretty, nice, and middle class girl, Claire, who only has one pair of jeans. They are white and from the gap. And she wears Platform Keds. Let's devote 100 pages to how the Cli...more

Cattly, catty girls!!!!
Every girl in this book can be mean but Massie beats them all! She hates claire from the minute she sees her because her style isn't Florida's apperant style. Massie and her group of friends, Kristen, Dylan, and Alicia, have it all. The fame, the money, and the friends. When Claire's family comes and comes to stay in Massie's guesthouse, she goes crazy. She had yet to know of all the crazy things these girls do so they can restore the natrual order of things. They put ...more

ANYONE ITS AMAZING!!
I knew girls were mean, but I never thought that they would take it this far. (This is why I can count on one hand how many female friends I have.) This book is a slight exaggeration of how far four best friends will go to hold their titles as the most envied girls in school. There are five main characters which are the best friends and one outcast. Massie Block, who is spoiled and out of control, Dylan Marvil, who is very insecure and covers it up by being uncontrollably rude, Alicia Rivera, wh...more

Massie Block, Alicia Rivera, Dylan Marvil, and Kristen Gregory are best friends forever and are the super popular clique at their school, Octavian Country Day School. It's an all girls school, where everyone wears nothing but designer clothing and fashion seems to speak more than what's "on the inside". All the girls in "The Clique" are incredibly rich and can afford anything they want, whenever they want. But the toughest thing about "The Clique", is how hard it ...more

Massie Block, Alicia Rivera, Dylan Marvil, and Kristen Gregory are the girls in the "Pretty Committee" clique at Octavian Country Day School. They get everything they want, when they want it. They throw their money around like there's no tomorrow. Everything is perfect until the socially challenged, Claire has to move in the Queen Bee's, Massie's Clubhouse because of her Claire's familys' hard times. Claire is not your normal OCD School girl. She dressed from the Gap and her shoes are ...more

This clique consists of four rich girls by the names of, Massie, Dylan, Kristen, and Alicia. When the new girl, Claire comes in, drama starts to fill up the halls of Octavian Country Day School. Claire is different from them; her family is far from rich (that's why she moved into Massie Block's "mansion"), she doesn't wear designer clothing like the clique, she doesn't know what it takes to be cool, and would do anything to get accepted into the clique.

This wasn't really my kind of book. It's about a group of girls, who I think were in middle school, and it talks about their lives and this girl Claire who moved to their school and wants to be friends with them. Not very interesting. But, if you like to read about bratty middle school girls, this is for you. *Review*: The main characters are Massie, Dylan, Krystin, Alicia, and Claire. Massie, Dylan, Alicia, and Krystin are the "clique," and Claire's family moves into Massie's paren...more

Are you a LBR? This is one of the many books in the Clique series. A group of four, The Pretty Committee, who's rich, sophisticated, and is staying on top of school's popularity. A LBR, Loser Beyond Repair is what they call the less popular people in their all girls school, OCD. These girls buy clothes and donate them quicker than change in weather.

Um, yeah. So the teen girls at the library are crazy about this series, so I decided to see what it was about. It's ridiculous. It centers around a group of vapid, cruel girls, and how our main character really wants to be a part of their clique. And there's no sense of self-realization, where she discovers she's better off, or where she comes to terms with who she is. No- we're just left with the impression that if she works hard enough, maybe she'll be able to get in the clique. I think t...more

Massie Block's ultimate goal is complete popularity. The girls at school want to be her with her perfect house and designer fashions.

Although Claire is perfectly nice, Massie lets her know that they will Not be friends. Massie, after all, has an image to uphold. Through some scheming, backstabbing,...more

Is it possible to give 0 stars, as in "I hated it"? 1 star is just "didn't like it" which isn't even close to how much I didn't like this book.
So, I thought I should take a look at the Clique series to see what's really going on here, its reading level and content level, and all that good stuff, research really, but that could easily turn to guilty pleasure if the read was worth it. It wasn't. Ugh.

This is for anyone in the modd for a fairly short read. Massie Block is the queen bee at Octavian Country Day (OCD), but her beautiful and glamorous life is disrupted when CLaire Lyons, the oppostie of beautiful and glamorous, comes with her family from Orlando, Florida to live in the Blocks' guest house. Massie and her clique, the Pretty Committee, brand Claire as an LBR (loser beyond repair) on the first day of school. CLaire is left to find her way among the Gucci and Prada filled halls of OC...more

Finished the book. Yep, just as I thought it would be, this book has the same feel with 'the Girls' by Amy Koss. Maybe it's because the theme, they both told school stories with popular girls as the main characters and how they became trend setters in fashion.
In this book, Claire tries so hard to fit in the clique of Massie and her friends. She played some tricks to get Massie's friends' attention, and even told lies just to get their friendship.

Welcome to the world of Massie Block, where nothing is off limits. She is rich and powerful and has the greatest friends. Her three friends, Kristin, Dylan, and Alicia, call themselves the Pretty Committee and basically run the school. This changes when the Lyons move up from Florida and stay in the Block estate guest house. To make matters worse their daughter, Claire, is what the Pretty Committe would call an LBR (Loser Beyond Repair) is now associated as her friend. Massie and Claire don't ex...more
