![]() ![]() It's really hard to get into a series when every single character is irritating and is one dimensional. ![]() That's another problem I have with this book-the characters are not at all likable.

However, if you've read a couple of books from the A-list series, you will start to notice that all the stories start to sound the same, and the books get old, really fast.

I haven't read the A-List books, so i have no idea if they need to be read first, i really hope not. ![]() Short Review: I was expecting a lot worse, like as horrible as Clique Prequel but it wasn't too bad. **Find this and other reviews, plus fun stuff, on my blogs!
