Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Melanie and Mackenzie are friends and Mel has feelings for Dylan who happens to be Mackenzie’s little brother. He is a year younger and Mel feels it crosses some line. So she tries to hide her feelings and get over them. Mackenzie has plans for Mel when she tries to pair her with Spencer King, king of the notables. Melanie panics and enlists her best friend Isobel to go as a fifth wheel. Of course when plans get changed and the group ends up at Mackenzie’s house, Dylan is there. Everything blows up in Mel’s face.
Isobel gets thrown in with Spencer when things get crazy at Mackenzie’s house. Isobel has to accept a ride home from Spencer. He lets her psychoanalyze him which leads to his proposition. Isobel is shocked but ends up entering into a deal. The repercussions were more than she bargained for and she panics. Plus she is confused about Spencer and waiting for him to turn on her like all the other notables.
Prom is approaching and Corey has plans to go with his friends Jane and Mackenzie. However when his rock star boyfriend decides to go too, things get crazier than usual. Corey is already having trouble dealing with the fans and paparazzi making his privacy nonexistent. When the school board threatens to cancel the prom because of the gay couple, everything hits the fan. Corey doesn’t know how to handle all the things that accompany his relationship.
This book was fabulous. It showed how some students made it passed the bullying from the notables and grabbed a hold of what they wanted even if it was hard to do. There were three stories focusing on three main characters but they were all friends at the same high school. They were considered geeks and they triumphed. I also liked the gay love story. Every teen should read how difficult it is to deal with the backlash you get just for loving someone. It is a true theme throughout the book and how the characters did it anyway. The messages are positive and I recommend this book to any teenage reader. I give it a 5 out of 5.
