This was an enjoyable read. It tells the story of Rio, who's named after a Duran Duran song. She lives with her former model mother and lawyer father in Laguna Beach, but misses New York and her friends there (they recently moved).

Rio makes a couple of friends from her art class in Laguna Beach, but then Kristi, cheerleader and queen bee, takes her under her wing. Suddenly, Rio has to follow rules...who to associate with, which boys to like, how to dress...or otherwise make Kristi mad. Everyone tiptoes around Kristi. But then, a fateful game of spin-the-bottle seals Rio's destiny. Kristi's not talking to her anymore, and she's turned the whole school against her.

This was an insightful look at high school cliques, the fear of those in power, and also just a fun bubbly read that made me remember being a teenager. The writing was pitch-perfect and really sounded like a young adult.

All i have to say is this book is good. I loved it so much and so will every other teenage girl in the world i meen seriously!!!

If your a fan of the movie Mean Girls then you'll love this book!
Rio moves from New York to Southern California. At first she makes friends with the art geeks until Kristi, a popular cheerleader, decides she's cool enough to be popular. Eventually though Rio becomes so popular she's more popular than Kristi. Soon Rio learns why people are nice to Kristi. It isn't because they like her. It's because they're afraid of her.

As I was browsing the Teen Fiction shelves in the library, I stumbled upon this book. I read the first page and shoved it into my pile in a hurry. When I got home, I couldn't put it down. Rio's hilarious commentary and loveable mom made it hard for me to put this friggin book down! Jas's charm was cute, even if he was a character in a book.

Overall, if you like reading high school dramas or the movie "Mean Girls", GET THIS BOOK. Nownownow.
