Revenge of the Wannabes


by Lisi Harrison
*****
This book was about Massie, Dylan, Alicia, Kristen and Claire(A.k.a. The Pretty Committee). But now Alicia's just plain tired of Massie being the alpha, she wants to start her own clique. So she makes a clique with one of her dance class friends, and is now on a fight with Massie. Massie paints a mural saying mean things about Alicia, and Alicia is totally on revenge, but things keep twisting. Massie gets herself for modeling for Teen Vogue when Alicia was actually the only one, and Massie swipes the dress Alicia wanted to buy for the shoot, right before the actual shoot! And Alicia has to decide if she would keep her clique, or apologize and go back in The Pretty Committee.

The best part was at the very end, where everybody got in a huge fight with each other in the set. This was also the part where Massie and Alicia made up. Everybody was like crazy, stuffing fake snow in each other's face, actually hitting and pinching, and throwing the fake present boxes near the Christmas tree. I liked this part because in words, it was totally hilarious. 8 girls going crazy with fake snow, destroying the set and making a complete chaos. I couldn't imagine it, and it was really funny, just reading the words and thinking about it.

Hyun Jin, I found I was in a very different place than you at the end. Your writing early made me think some very mean things were going on, and the fight at the end, would not be so nice.

You thought it was humorous, so I must have misread your writing in some way.

Do these friendship cliques happen at JIS?
