Frenemies by Alexa Young

What happens when two besties become full-blown worsties?
Avalon Greene rules the fashion scene at her sunny SoCal middle school with a diamond-clad fist, calling out classmates for their fashion-do's and most unfortunate clothes-pas. She's determined to host the social event of the season—a soiree in honor of her forever-friendship with Halley! Unfortunately, Halley's new look is one thing Avalon just can't celebrate. . . .
Halley Brandon is just back from art camp and can't wait to share her funky new style with her best friend, Avalon. But when Avalon cries fashion foul, Halley realizes her best friend's true colors may clash with her own. Has their ultra-fabulous friendship finally gone out of style?
From sharing custody of their puppy, Pucci, to drawing up a list of who gets which friends, Avalon and Halley discover what happens when you battle the person who knows everything about you—and isn't afraid to use your secrets to get what she wants.
Best friends. Worst enemies. Frenemies.

I thought this book was ok. I loved the idea but I feel it wasn't pulled off very well. I felt like Halley and Avalon didn't act like eigth graders but more like high schoolers. I did like the little Fashion Snarks newspaper thing and how they pulled revenge there and the comments left on it. The only thing I really liked was the ending. This actually took me forever to read , it is just really hard to get into. But I did like the book it just donned on me that they have a good a reason for revenge. How would you feel if your best friend left you after like forever.

Vidalia In Paris by Sasha Watson

When Vidalia wins a scholarship to study art abroad for the summer, she can't believe her good fortune. Paris is filled with surprises, including Julien, the nice bookstore clerk Vidalia should like as more than a friend, and Marco, the mysterious art dealer she can't stay away from. By the time she finds out the truth about the paintings Marco sells, she's fallen for him too hard to really care. But when his crimes threaten to involve her directly, Vidalia has to separate reason from passion.

I loved this book. I loved the character Vidalia ( A onion lol). I also loved the plot and the setting Paris. I also loved how she gave all these little details about the other character, I loved the minor characters. I liked Julien and Marco and how they went on these trips together. I liked learning about art and the Institue Vidalia went too. after reading this I wish this could happen to me but just not the ending. But I would definetly recomend this book especialy if you boys art Paris and mellow drama.There was not much drama. This was a good book because I started and finished in less than a day.

In Too Deep by Jennifer Banash

The Bramford building's newest resident and small-town transplant Casey McCloy is adapting to life in the Big Apple and loving it. She's got the look, the attitude, and a delish new boyfriend, Drew Van Allen. But she's starting to have second thoughts as to whether the "New York" Casey is the real Casey. And she's not so sure she likes herself much anymore. She's not the only one.Madison Macallister has always had her Manolo Blahniks firmly planted on the top rung of the social ladder-until that corn-fed cow Casey stole Drew away from her and made her look the fool. So what if Madison wasn't exactly dating Drew at the time? She wanted him. And everyone knows that Madison gets what she wants, like Drew-and a little revenge.

I th0ught this book was better than the first after reading this it makes me want to read Simply Irresistable. This book sounded more realistic like planning a sweet 16 and how Casey handled a new boyfriend and having problems with a new bf. Again I got lost and mixed up characters because of switching of narraters. I love the covers of all the books in this series the girls just look really cool and the makeup is great.

The Elite by Jennifer Banash

When Casey McCloy steps into the elegant Bramford building, she's overwhelmed. Fresh from the Midwest, she's moved to New York's Upper East Side to live with her grandmother and attend the prestigious Meadowlark Academy. Here all that matters is who you know. The girl to know is Madison Macallister: popular, pretty, platinumblond. She's not just Casey's new classmate and neighbor; she's an icon. So Casey aims to get in with Madison and her gorgeous gal-pals from the start. As the reigning queen of coolness, Madison is capable of destroying reputations with one welltimed whisper. Better to be on her good side.But after a city-haute makeover from her new frenemy Madison, Casey is wearing the right clothes, saying the right things, and meeting the right people-including Drew, the boy-about-town who Madison thinks belongs to her and her alone.

I thought this book was okay. I am not a huge fan of switching narrators every chapter. I also thought the was wasn't very realistic. How many people really move into a apartment with Grandma and become friends with three popular girls and steal the head girls boyfriend in the first day you move to New York. And a sweet place. But I did like the problems that you read about. I also thought some of the characters were relatable and easy to read. The book was also predictable.
