Rio Jones, named after a popular Duran Duran song, is going to attend a new private school in California. With her artsy look upon the world, and a camera to go with it, she makes some new friends at first, but then comes along Kristi: rich and popular Kristi. Suddenly, it's not art that she's focused on, it's this new world that immerses her. Until it all goes wrong.

I despise the Gossip Girl series, and the like, but I was surprised to admit that this held more than those series. It's about real problems, and not only about name-dropping designers and such. Noel's wit and humor had me laughing, and I personally got a lot more than I expected out of the book.
