This story of the squabbles and in-fighting between the "cool" girls in high school sounds authentic. The story focuses on one girl who is part of the cheerleading squad. There is another girl who commands the reverence and submission of the others. Addy is second in command but when the new squad c...

I wasn't surprised by all the plot elements in this book--some twists I saw coming from quite early on, some right about where I was supposed to, moments before--but I was surprised nonetheless by what the revelations meant to the characters and how they were rendered, and that's honestly more impor...

This book is the epitome of what a clique of girls can and will do to each other. The helplessness, the highs, the annoyance, and the power that comes with the territory of social standing. The book delves into a different aspect on cheerleaders which strays far from the colourful, pom pom waving, b...

Occasionally I feel like no matter how closely I'm reading a book, I'm missing something. It may be due to something in the writing style that's eluding me or an important element in the story that I don't quite understand for some reason, but regardless of what causes it, I feel as if I'm somehow a...

I'm not sure what to say about this book.The good points: the basic plot of the book was interesting, so in terms of the twists you expect from a good thriller, it wasn't horrible. There were a couple of well-written moments as well, just a sentence or two every once in a while that resonated, like ...
