P.S. I Loathe You [With Sticker(s)]

This overly-dramatic preteen read is so cute and is one of those too-cute books that you never get tired of reading OVER and OVER again!! Just make sure you've read the previous books in the CLique series, otherwise, this one probably won't make any sense to you. This book is witty and funny. The clique books are my favorite to read when I'm having one of those grumpy days because they make me laugh!

This is the best book of the series, by far. I think lisi really embraced the characters for who they were, and opened up the clique series to the real world that her characters are part of (the setting of which is in westchester county new york, where I live close to and go to school with people just like these girls)- that a group of friends worshipping its leader to make her happy despite what makes them happy can NOT last forever, that cliques and unhealthy relationships like this change, that everyone wants something real in their lives to hold onto while having their fantasies as well. I like that Kristen is given substance, she hasn't been more than a 2D character and mindless follower from the start, and it shows that she is human with *desires and interests*. imagine that! Who knew that she'd be a cat-lover? How full-hearted she really is while struggling to fit in with a world that requires a suppression of it? I love Dylan's struggle and tie-in with Derrick, because it was a question I'd had once Massie and Derrick started dating- what about Dylan and Kristen, who both really liked him? How do they feel about that? How could she do that to them without even asking? Then the answer came: Because she's Massie Block. It makes Dylan so much more real, and makes the series more whole. I enjoyed the lack of focus on Claire, as she'd had a lot of spotlight in all the others save BF@T's and we've discovered most of all there is to know about Claire's character. I like Alicia's constant struggle with herself as being the first of the girls to really have realized that she needs to compromise herself to be happy with Massie, and how it manifests here. Most of all, I like Massie. I think that people are saying that Massie just becomes extraordinarily mean here, but really, Massie was this way all along. The only reason why she looks so much more mean now is because the story is told largely from Dylan and Kristen's point of view, who were, before this novel, taking the backseat in the story and were faceless and somewhat empty characters other than Massie's loyal fem-servants, and the story was not told by the point of view of people who are either wholly vying for her approval or striving to destroy her, but were struggling in between, as Dylan and Kristen had ALWAYS been. I like the honesty that Lisi captured with Massie's character, that girls like Massie, while of course being multi-layered, do ultimately want friends who are willing to let her have claim to what she wants, and be happy with doing so, and, even when coming to the realization that she could KEEP her friends if she gave them a little leeway, she didn't value them enough as people and more valued them as pawns to her popularity to give them enough freedom to keep them, as made evident with her ease at which she dumped and took back friends throughout the series. I liked the line where Massie says/thinks that she wasn't going to sacrifice her standards to be happy- 'my frie

Ehmagawd!!! This book is so ah-mazing times ten!!!! This book is the saddest out of all of them, but definitely the BEST!! After you read this book, you will will be on pins and needles until you get the next book, they're very addicting and realistic, but funny.

I was very pleased with miss Harrison's latest installment in her series. While Massie got increasingly annoying as the book went on, I was glad to see Dylan, Alicia, and Kristen grow a backbone. Cam and Claire are back together, and all in all I'm excited for the next book in the series.

This was one of the best Clique novels that I have read. I love that it gave the perspective of Dylan and Kristen, who usually are more in the background to Claire, Alicia and, of course, Massie. I could not believe how cruel and mean Massie was in this novel! She's never particularly nice, but at least she's usually caring towards her friends. When she started making cracks about Kristen not living in a "real" house, it was a very low blow. I kept hoping that her friends would finally tell her off and ditch her. No one needs a friend who wants them to fail or look bad to make themselves look better. I agreed with everything Dylan said to her. I hope her friends all move on without her and she feels totally alone and learns not to be such an awful human being and learn what it means to really care about other people and put their feelings first for a change.
