Synopsis

Some girls will always have your back, and some girls can't help but stab you in it.

Junior year, the suburbs of Philadelphia. Alex, Mollie and Veronica are those girls: They're the best of friends and the party girls of the school. But how well does everybody know them--and really, how well do they know one another? Alex is secretly in love with the boy next door and has joined a band--without telling anyone. Mollie suffers from a popular (and possibly sociopathic) boyfriend and a serious mean streak. And Veronica just wants to be loved--literally, figuratively, physically...she's not particular. Will this be the year that bonds them forever or tears them apart for good?

In a debut novel that is raw, honest, hilarious, and thought-provoking, Lauren Saft masterfully conveys what goes on in the mind of a teenage girl and how often even the closest of friends walk the thin line between love and hate.

Goodreads review by Lauraelisabeth (fashion-by-the-book) on April 04, 2015

Some people are totally into seeing what goes on in the lives and minds of rich high school kids. There is a reason books like Gossip Girl and The Clique do so well. I guess I'm just not one of those people. I seriously disliked this whole book. The characters, the plot, everything. Let's begin with......more

Goodreads review by Anissa on May 16, 2015

I can't say that I really enjoyed this but I did find it compelling and worthy. It made me uncomfortable and the characters put me off fairly early on but I usually take that to mean that I need to stay and continue because for whatever reasons I'm feeling that way, there's likely a good reason the......more

Goodreads review by Abbie on June 18, 2015

(I received a copy from Netgalley, In exchange for an honest review.) Actual rating - 2.5 The characters in this weren't ones that I could warm to enough to like. This wasn't an awful read, but I can't say I enjoyed it all that much. There were parts that annoyed me, and parts that dragged. Not really......more
