These Boots Are Made for Stalking (The Clique, #12) in Preety Committe

Warning: May have tiny spoilers.
Normally I can handle "The Clique" series. This one made me want to barf.

Massie and her group of too good for you friends, decide they need an "upgrade" on their eight grade crushes. They decide that they are ALSO too good for the boys they were just obsessing over about five minutes ago. All of them except for Kuh-laire.

And so Massie goes back to her controlling "Lycra" or whatever it is ways, demanding and acting like she owns everyone. Kuh-laire, bless her gu Warning: May have tiny spoilers.

And so Massie goes back to her controlling "Lycra" or whatever it is ways, demanding and acting like she owns everyone. Kuh-laire, bless her gummy filled soul, finally sticks up for herself in this one. Which over joys me, because if I had to witness another breakup/makeup between Cam and Claire, I was going to puke.

Massie scared me in this one. And not because she had her hand on her hip 24/7 saying things like, "Rate me!" but because she literally stalks her new hawtie, or might I say, C-Plus. Landon. Oh, does anyone else not "LOL" every time Massie gets a new crush? As Layne would say: Jeeze Louise!

To make it even more unbelievable, her pampered pooch, Bean, also gets her own crush. Whom is Landon's own dog, Bark Obama. Might I add that I love that name. It's really original. Massie goes back to controlling the PC and since she has a ninth grade crush, everyone has to have one as well. Can you say, "Ehmahgawd x 10!" ?

Some of the parts make me sick. Claire and Layne are on Skype. I was at Sonic while reading this part. *Scowl* Layne takes a bite of party mix, some falls out of her mouth, and Claire is "filled with the view of saliva filled crumbs" on the webcam screen. Do I REALLY want to read about that? To make Layne even more of a slob, she just wipes off the disgusting chewed up food with her sleeve and shrugs.

What are the messages in the books supposed to do? Because I mean really. Backstabbing your friends is fine and you can do it again as long as you apologize? Looks are everything? Boys only like you when you act like someone your not? Your friends aren't cool unless they're the most popular in the school? Putting other people down is fine if you're depressed too? Gossiping is cool?

I could go on and on, but I wouldn't want to horrify you anymore with Lisi's way of showing kids what they really need to do in life. Ugh.

Oh, and I promise I'm nawt a snob. The language these girls in these books make me giggle. ...more
