The newest book in the Clique series is out. I know you're all so excited. I'm not sure why I even bother with this series, but I was actually surprised with this new book, titled P.S. I Loathe You. It wasn't as, well, boring as the other books in the series. It actually seemed to be going outside of the little nine books of nothing streak that the series had seemed to be aiming for. And I quote the main character when I say, "Ehmagawd."
In this tenth installment, several different things happen. Massie pushes the rest of the Clique too far, she has to share her crush with LBR Layne (LBR meaning loser beyond repair), and she has to deal with all of her friends realizing that she's a total snob and ditching her. Then Kristen is stuck in the middle of the whole Massie and Layne feud, which could never end well. Alicia is tired of being Massie's second in command, so for once, she pushes back. Dylan has a secret crush on Massie's ex-boyfriend, and it just so happens that he likes her back. And then there's Claire. Well, Claire doesn't really do anything in this book except ride a bike with her boyfriend, Cam. It is most definitely not as confusing as it all sounds.
Out of all the pretty covered Clique books, I'd have to say this one was my favorite. But that's not saying much. I agree with this review that it was the most creative, but still annoying too. The whole thing was incredibly unrealistic (the 'Clique' are only in eighth grade), and the way Massie talked made me lose a few braincells. I know this is supposed to be a younger version of Gossip Girl, but Lisi Harrison hasn't quite followed in the footsteps of Cecily von Ziegesar. Maybe in a few more books I'll be happy. Maybe.
