About this ebook

For reigning popularity queen Hamilton Best, the very idea of graduation is filled with fear. She's always been the star of Fidelity High's most exclusive clique, idolized for her perfection and her fabulous parties—you know you're "in" when you make Hamilton's guest list. As high school draws to a close, Hamilton is about to lose everything that makes her who she is. To make matters worse, the clique is slowly coming apart at the seams. Although the hand-picked members—Olivia, Zelda, Nordica, and Shelly—all have their own agendas, desires, and secrets, they do have one thing in common: they're desperate to break away from Hamilton. Yet Hamilton has the biggest and most shocking secret of all, one that only her devoted boyfriend Alex knows. If the truth got out, it would completely destroy her fragile world. And she'll do anything to keep that from happening.

    Popular is truly a book with a twist, and although that makes it hard to describe without spoiling it, suffice it to say it was quietly and thoughtfully satisfying. It's one of those books that will have you flipping back through the pages once you've finished, wondering if the author got it right (and she did!). You'll meet Hamilton and her four besties along the way, wonder whether or not her boyfriend Alex is some kind of serial stalker or just plain creepy, and then, whoa, the reveal, and definitely some somber moments. The story is totally unique in its design yet jam-packed with enough high school angst-ridden social life to feel real and keep the pages turning. Give it a whirl; I think you'll like the results.
