Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Dylana

This book was very realistic in portraying the popular cliques in a modern-day high school. This book is about a Dallas, Texas High School where the most rich, beautiful, and meanest girls rule. They taunt everyone else and are so harsh to those who are poorer, uglier, and just different in any way. You won't believe the lengths these girls will go to boss others around - it gets pretty crazy. Some things go a little too far, but it can happen.

It's very emotional in how it shows how those being taunted feel hurt and want revenge. This book is very powerful and shows both sides of the story: the ruthless side and the side that wants things to change for the better.
Francine Pascal is an amazing writer and I recommend this book to any girl who is in high school. Some things may sound familiar and it teaches those to take a stand if they are the target of a "ruling class." The only thing was that it ended too quickly and you never ultimately find out what happens to the leader of the ruling class. But overall, it kept me hooked.
