Mindless YA fluff. While there wasn't enough substance in this book for me, I can see how it would appeal to tween girls. It was a quick read, and for the most part enjoyable, but the main character was too two-dimensional. I had no idea just WHY, for a girl who was supposed to be so smart, Reed was determined to get in with the Billings girls. The reader also gets no indication of why the Billings girls would bother with a lowly sophomore, who also happened to be the new girl. This book could easily have been at least fifty pages longer and been better for it.

Kelly its a series. if you read the whole thing, your quesions would be answered.


Debbie Except that given how shallow, vapid, and mindless I found the first book, how utterly simplistic the characterization, and how little I ended up caring about any of the characters, the chance of me picking up the rest of the series is about zero. If a series doesn't hook me on the first book, and actively turns me off, I'm not going to go out and find the second.
