Revenge of the Wannabes

First of all let me say that I absolutely love these books . . . Second of all they are highly unrealistic. I am the exact same age as Massie, Claire, and the rest of the gang, and I happen to live in Westchester, in the richest neighborhood in it, and I certainly don't wear Marc Jacobs pumps, carry a Louis Vuitton bag, or drive in a fridge-, tv-, and minibar-equipped Range Rover to school every day. I don't have credit cards or an unlimited clothes allowance, and I definitely don't have a five-acre estate to live on. It's also unrealistic how popular 7th graders are . . . I mean do 7th grade girls, no matter HOW hot they are, really think they can date superpopular 11th graders (Harris)? And how EVERYBODY in Westchester County knows Massie? Come on. However, I love reading these books! *Spoiler Alert* Do not read on if you haven't read the books. This one is probably my favorite, as Claire is finally IN and she gets Cam at last! Massie is finally nice and they finally take revenge on Alicia for cheating (not a great thing to do to your BFFS). The cattiness of the girls is what makes these books good. Even though Gossip Girl is not a book for 12-13 year olds, I have read 2 of them and like the Cliques infinitely better--for my age at least. The Cliques are essentially Gossip Girl - sex - drinking - drugs = great! This book was amazing, I especially loved seeing Alicia knocked down a peg when Harris used her and didn't ask her out, and how Massie didn't get Cam but got Derrington, the guy Kristen and Dylan loved in the last book. I thought the ending was kind of cheesy, but I still liked it. I don't get how the Lyonses are moving to Chicago . . . I guess I'll just have to wait for Invasion of the Boy-Snatchers. Keep reading and loving the Clique! :)

I loved this book! The Revenge of the Wannabes (The Clique, #3) is better than the first two Clique books. This book is about Alicia, mainly, who tries to branch out away from the "Pretty Commitee". Her friends from jazz class say things like, "you have more money than Massie", "Your house is much bigger", "You should have your own sleepovers". Alicia follows their advice, but she get more than she can handle. Massie, K, & D make sure Alicia gets what she is asking for. The thing that hurts Alicia the most is when they say Claire is the new Alicia. Read the book to find out who wins this catfight! Meow. =D

I was very impressed with the third additition to the Clique series. The plot thickens as Alicia tries to break away from Massie's group and tries to form her own. She even goes to such lengths as to add members that look similar to her former friends. Kristen and Dylan are torn between the two groups just as Claire enters the scene as part of Massies's clique. Secrets are unvealed, gossip circulates, and Massie is determined that she will not be defeated by Alicia. This book is written at a different perspective than the previous books and mostly focuses on Alicia. I would definently recommend this book to all readers!

I really enjoy the clique series. They always keep me turning the pages and this one did just that. In this book you get to hear Alicia's side of the story, which is interesting. My only complaint was that sometimes Alicia's side of the story got a little annoying, but besides that, it was a good book!

Ok, Revenge of the Wannbes is all about five girls going to Octavian Country School. Four of them (now five, since Claire is included now!!) are in a close clique, and they're mean to many of the other students. One girl in the clique, Alicia, is fed up with Massie (the leader) and decides that she wants to defy her. Massie is horrified!! Meanwhile, Claire and Cam are having some relationship problems, since Massie is always butting in. Wanna read some more? You'd better read the book to find out! FIVE STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! --Livi
