Thanks, Marybeth!

[Marybeth]

No problem. I would recommend this book to anyone it was that good.

[Mandiann]

I am still waiting to get the book from my library. Have you started yet? Want to push it back?

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Yes, if you don't mind, let's push this one back.

[Mandiann]

sounds good. how about 5/11?

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

That is Mother's Day in the US (not sure about Canada) and we have plans. Any other good dates?

[Mandiann]

5/14?

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

That works!

[Mandiann]

I am still waiting on my book. Silly people not returning books on time.

Can we push it again?

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Absolutely! :D When?

[Mandiann]

a week? Hopefully I will have it by then. I should have had it Sunday but I am still waiting.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

So 5/25? :)

[Mandiann]

sounds good. they seem to think they found the problem. I should have it by then.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Awesome! I will change the date.

[Mandiann]

I finally have this book! I am so ready to go tomorrow, are you?

[Mandiann]

Through the first 20 chapters. It's really good so far but the cast of characters in kind of big.

Abby (view spoiler)[ She hasn't left much of an impression on me. I like that she seems to really care about her sister but she does seem fairly superficial. (hide spoiler)]

Danielle (view spoiler)[ I like her romance with Andrew. It's really cute. Hopefully he doesn't disappoint. (hide spoiler)]

Lauren (view spoiler)[ Wow, how confusing to be in her position. I hope that she doesn't change who she is and let this corrupt her. I am hopeful she will stay the nice and caring person we have been introduced to. (hide spoiler)]

Candace (view spoiler)[ I like that someone who is attractive looking but mean was put on the "ugly" side of the list. I hope that this helps Candace think about who she wants to be and change her behavior. I am also hopeful that she will become friends with Lauren. (hide spoiler)]

Bridget (view spoiler)[ wow, she sure is struggling. And the stupid list is only making it so much worse. Not that she wouldn't have struggled without it but it seems to be adding so much pressure. I hope she talks to someone and gets help. (hide spoiler)]

Sarah (view spoiler)[ I like Sarah!!! She has spunk! At first I thought Milo was gay but the last Sarah chapter made me doubt that. I wonder what the big secret is? (hide spoiler)]

Margo (view spoiler)[ It is interesting that she doesn't really want the "pretty" title and how it seems to be negatively affecting her life. (hide spoiler)]

Jennifer (view spoiler)[ I hope the girls who are inviting her to the dance and trying to get her the prom queen genuinely want her to have a positive experience. I hope this doesn't go all Carrie and end up being some horribly wicked and cruel prank. (hide spoiler)]

The Principal(view spoiler)[ I like that she is trying to get to the bottom of this and trying to be supportive of all of the girls. I hope she is able to get to the bottom of this. And I hope she notices how badly Bridget is struggling. (hide spoiler)]

The LIST (view spoiler)[ I don't think a coven of girls is behind it. I think it is either a boy(or group of boys) or some messed up teacher. (hide spoiler)]

[Mandiann]

And I am finished! Wow, it was a good one and sucked me right in.

I wasn't a huge fan of the ending but it certainly wasn't what I was expecting.

Danielle (view spoiler)[ I liked her ending. I am glad she found the place she fits in and can feel confident and comfortable with who she is. (hide spoiler)]

Bridget(view spoiler)[ her ending was heartbreaking. I know not everything can have a happy ending but I wish Abby or Lisa had confided in someone and they could have gotten Bridget the help she needs. (hide spoiler)]

Jennifer(view spoiler)[ Well....I didn't see that one coming. Although I can understand what she did and some of her decisions made sense, putting Danielle on the list was something she did purely out of jealousy and self loathing and was completely despicable. I am glad Danielle didn't succumb to it. (hide spoiler)]

Ending(view spoiler)[ I wish we had more closure. I understand that the cast of characters was very large and it would be hard to provide it to everyone, and I also understand that not every ending can be a happy one but I felt the ending was a little rushed with some of the girls. (hide spoiler)]

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Mandiann, I am sorry for my unexpected absence! We didn't have any internet for a week! I missed everyone. I will try to start this as soon as possible.

Glad you at least liked it! :)

[Mandiann]

No worries. Glad you are back and everything is okay.

[Jacquelyn, thebrunettebooknerd]

Thanks, Mandiann! I sure did miss you guys! :D
