(3rd book in the “Clique” series) Here is just a quick recap of the main characters in the story or else you wouldn’t know what I’m talking about later on…
Massie Block: the leader of Octavian Country Day School’s most exclusive/ fashionable clique. She and 3 of her very close friends form this group.
Alicia Rivera: the second-in-command from Massie in the clique. While Massie is the alpha, she is the beta.
Kristen Gregory: another friend of Massie’s who belongs in the clique.
Dylan Marvil: also another of Massie’s who belongs in the clique.
Claire Lyons: the new girl from Florida who moved into Massie’s guest house. She wants to be in the Clique ever since she arrived, but the group just kept rejecting her.

(The story continues from the second book.) Alicia finally had enough with Massie and decided to recruit a few new members who look like cheap Dylan and Kristen knockoffs and start her own clique. Massie becomes furious with this and ends their friendship; Alicia is officially out, and Claire is finally in. However, when some particular secrets of the girls’ leaked out, Dylan and Kristen becomes convinced that Massie is up to no good, and might possibly join Alicia. On the other hand, Claire is finally happy because she got accepted into the clique. In addition, she found out that Cam (a cute Briarwood Academy boy who she had a crush on) like her. However, this doesn’t sit well with Massie since she likes him too…

Yet another great book in the series – story content is just as luring to teen girls as before. But it’s quite surprising that these girls are only in 7th grade!?!...and already they’re that mean. I think it’s kinda far-fetched how in the story they get an interview with “Teen People” have a modeling shoot, and spend all their parent’s money just on clothes (literally, the author only mentions them buying brand name clothes in every single book I read so far)…I’m not saying that’s impossible, but that’s a bit unrealistic for their age at 12 – 13 years old, but then again, nothing is really realistic in fiction. Anyways, through it all, I still love the series + the plot. =)
