Ashley Spencer is about to turn thirteen, so it's time to start planning her super-birthday bash that will leave the uninvited bawling in their tracks.
But, as it turns out, it seems that her parents don't exactly have the same plans.
Unfortunately, A.A., Lili, and Lauren all have their own problems to worry about. A.A. has to deal with the guy who broke her heart while dating someone else, Lili is lying to her parents and everyone else for the guy she likes, and Lauren has to deal with juggling not just one, but two boyfriends.
What's a girl to do?
Contrary to the title and jacket cover, BIRTHDAY VICIOUS, book three in THE ASHLEYS series, is not all about Ashley Spencer's party. There's much more going on than that, mostly relating to all of the girls' lovelifes and family.
However, unlike THE CLIQUE and other rich-girl books, the characters in this book continue to develop as the series goes on, making it extremely enjoyable and not just for tweens, either. This is definitely recommended to all fans of the previous books, and if you haven't read those yet, I suggest you do so before picking this one up.
