Book Description:
The Ashleys rule Miss Gamble's Preparatory School for Girls. They are gorgeous, rich, impeccably fashion forward, and, yes, all named Ashley. Lauren Page has gone to the same school with them her whole life, and the Ashleys, if forced to remember, might recall only a faint memory of shoving mud in the poor girl's mouth in kindergarten.

But Lauren Page is no longer the mud-eating loser she once was. And though she has completely changed her exterior from bargain-basement cast-offs to off-the-runway couture (props, of course, to her new personal shopper) she is still the same person on the inside. And that person has had enough of the current regime.

Look out, Ashleys. There's a new name in school.

have to say wasn't overly impressed with this one. i got ahold of an ARC and read it pretty much in one sitting. sort of a 7th grade version of THE HEATHERS. Though I have a hard time believing kids act this way in 7th grade. THen again, it's been 20+ years for me and no where near the rich status of the girls in the book. If you like the Clique, you'll probably love this one...

Meet the Ashleys, who rule the school and make life miserable for non-SOA (Seal Of Approval) girls. The three of them are gorgeous, wealthy, and have all the best clothing.

This year, the three Ashleys watch one girl step out of her limo looking like a movie star. Lauren has arrived at a new plateau, or so she hopes. Her plan is to infiltrate the Ashleys and then destroy them. With her father's newfound wealth, she's gone from bargain shopper to having a personal shopper. Can her new wealth help her gain access to the school's most exclusive club?

Melissa de la Cruz creates a brand new series that delves into the cliques of junior high and into a world where money is no object. If you've enjoyed the CLIQUE series, you MUST read this book as well.
