School Library Journal
Gr 8 Up—Sophie is one of the most popular girls at Kennedy High, and she's always in the top three of the school's weekly hotness poll. She has the best-looking boyfriend, cool friends, and anticipates getting the lead in the school play. Then a new girl, Angie, takes all of those things, leaving Sophie with a lesser part in the biggest thing that semester: Kennedy's production of The Taming of the Shrew. Now the former it-girl is on the outside looking in, while rumors about her circulate and she plummets in the hotness ratings. Sophie is a shallow, mostly unlikable character whose only goal is to get back her reputation, even at the cost of Monet, a friend who inexplicably endures almost anything while the misguided Sophie learns what is truly important in life. The plot has potential but falls flat. A quick read with little substance.—Julianna M. Helt, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, PA
