Pride |
Kaia's getting it on with bachelor #1, though scruffball Reed's gotten to be quite an interesting distraction.
Kane and Harper got exactly what they planned:
Namely, Beth and Adam. (Though to keep gettin' it, their secrets -- and pasts -- best stay forgotten.)
Miranda got her heart broken, but now she's all decked with a new look and strategy.
Sometimes, though, you only think you've got everything....
作者简介 Robin Wasserman enjoys writing about high school -- but wakes up every day grateful that she doesn't have to relive it. She recently abandoned the beaches and boulevards of Los Angeles for the chilly embrace of the East Coast, as all that sun and fun gave her too little to complain about. She now lives and writes in New York City, which she claims to love for its vibrant culture and intellectual life. In reality, she doesn't make it to museums nearly enough, and actually just loves the city for its pizza, its shopping, and the fact that at three A.M. you can always get anything you need -- and you can get it delivered.

From School Library Journal
Grade 9 Up–Haven High''s teens manipulate their way through relationships with cunning, lies, and emotional blackmail. Harper feigns sweetness to hang on to Adam. Kane turns on false charm to lure Beth to sleep with him. Kaia responds to her attraction to enigmatic Reed by treating him like dirt, all the while keeping secret trysts with the French teacher. It''s the stuff of a steamy soap opera, replete with sophisticated villains and charming innocents, over-the-top plotting by the characters, lusty encounters, and betrayals climactically revealed. Although it''s hard to imagine many teens relating to the stereotypically drawn players, there are undoubtedly those who will find the page-turning pace addictive. Purchase for fans of Cecily von Ziegesar''s Gossip Girl and Zoey Dean''s A-List series (both Little, Brown).–Rebecca M. Jones, Fort Myers-Lee County Library, FL
