The book jacket really sells this book short, although I imagine you would be looking to read this book after reading the first one in the series. This one picks up where the first one left off: Massie fighting to make sure she is the Queen-bee of OCD with her faithful followers, which Claire is still watching from the outside really wanting to be accepted.
The main conflict of this book is that Massie is told that she falling out of the limelight at OCD, and to make sure it happens, another girl in her grade is planning on throwing a co-ed Halloween party. This really frosts Massie, but she regroups to throw the co-ed Halloween party of the century organized by a high-price famous Starbucks drinking party planner. naturally at this party is the basic middle school/ high school drama: two friends like the same guy, girls have crushes on boys, friends stab each other in the back and blow each other off... yet in true Clique fashion this is all done in designer clothes! :)
Additionally, there is tension in Massie's group because of boy trouble and Olivia trouble (you'll have read to find out what that means!). Massie is also getting pressure from her mom to include Claire in all that she does, and Claire has challenges Massie to a no-shopping for a month contest. Needless to say, Massie is stressed! Add to it that the school is looking at implementing a UNIFORM policy. This is one stressed middle schooler. :)
There is a twist at the end of this book, which may lead to Claire being "in" and someone from Massie's tight group of followers being "out"! You'll have to read to find out the "who," "what," "where," "why," and "how"!
I liked the book. Quite honestly, even though this is total bullying in many cases, and I think the girls are unbelievable mean, AND ass to the fact that the money spent on clothes, food, and so on is totally unbelievable, I like just getting lost in this unrealistic world for an afternoon. It is like watch a soap opera that takes place in a middle school except there is no drinking, no drug, no sex, and no alcohol.
Have you read this book or any in the series? Let us know what you think!
