Check out this Goodreads summary:
Meet the clique that rules Fidelity High: Olivia, Zelda, Nordica, and Shelly, each one handpicked by über-popular Hamilton Best. You know you’re “in” when you make the guest list for one of Hamilton’s parties. And in the thralls of senior year, everyone wants to get noticed by Hamilton.
But Hamilton’s elite entourage is coming apart at the seams. Olivia fantasizes about finally having a boyfriend, Zelda dreams of ditching high school, Nordica wants to be alone with her photography, and Shelly’s plotting to dethrone Hamilton. Lies and secrets are ripping away the careful ties that have kept them together for years. But Hamilton has the biggest secret of all, one that only her boyfriend Alex knows. If the truth got out, it would shock everyone and destroy Hamilton’s fragile world””and she’ll do anything to protect her secret and keep her clique together.
Secrets, popular girls, cliques and drama? Sounds like a fab read! I love the uniqueness of each of the girls names. I also am a fan of books with multiple characters and storylines- seems like this one has all of these qualities! I have a feeling that this book will be very easy to get lost in.
Stay tuned because I have plans to interview Alissa closer to the book release!
What are you anxiously waiting for this Wednesday?
Hmm? drama queen and entourage plus a secret pregnancy (maybe) afraid that might be too much drama for my taste. Hope you enjoy it though.
@Jan@eatiingyabooks, Haha, too much for you, eh? That’s understandable- there is quite a lot going on, it seems!
I am a sucker for cliques/drama/PLL-esque books and this sounds right up my alley. Great pick!
@Tara, Me too! I think that’s why I was so drawn to this one. It has so many elements of the books that I love!
oooh, I love books with multiple storylines too. Great pick, I’ll be adding this one to my list.
@cynthial11, I’m not sure why I like them so much, but I guess they just keep my attention more!
Wow! This sounds really good. Very Mean Girls, which is one of my favorite guilty pleasure movies.
@Melissa</a Yes! It does sound very Mean Girls…that's an awesome observation. I can watch that movie over and over again 🙂
@Melissa, Whoa, sorry about the weird link in that comment. Sometimes WordPress can be so confusing!
