“Alexandra Robbins writes reality TV in book form, detailing a competitive teen culture (sororities, brainiacs) from the inside out. … There are plot twists of every stripe, even some sneaky ones… Robbins’ adept pen re-creates scenes that bring back the cattiness, angst, depression, glories, pain, triumph and awakening of high school. You’ll fall in love seven times with seven individuals courageous enough to be just that: individuals.”
