Cute, easy read. The main character, Rose, is a little obnoxious, sometimes difficult to like. Almost never takes the high road and it isn't clear where the author stands on the choices Rose makes. Since she never seems to learn anything when she chooses to beat people up, start fights, rumors, tell lies, manipulate - it seems a bit like this behavior is deemed OK. As an adult reader, I know my own morals and values but I wonder what kids think? That said, it is fun and silly and you look forward to her next adventures.

For parents who might be thinking about this for kid: teenage girl talks about drinking, trying drugs, making out, sex, sexual thoughts. She is a virgin but pretty willing to go anywhere but "there".
