I have never read a book where I related to the characters less.  This is probably a good thing.  They're all petty, mean-spirited, ugly women determined to bite and gnash and claw out anything that will make them feel just a little less insecure.  They get what they deserve at the end, but the ending is also why I drop it from a five to a three.  It feels a bit like a Saw movie at the end--patting itself on the back for such a good and moral ending while ignoring the monstrosity that it's become.  Certainly not the worst I've ever read, it's fine, but it left a sour taste in my mouth.  I feel like I've been robbed of an actual comeuppance for the hideousness I've spent the last few days reading.  It feels cheap and tawdry, unsatisfying.

I was having a pretty good time up until that point though, so I wouldn't say don't read it.  Just--Maybe be prepared to bring a fix-it fic to the last ten pages or so.  It was so close to being great.

Oh man. I hated probably the first quarter of this book. Pathetic MC trying desperately to be less pathetic, whatever. Then it takes a turn and hooked me. Great look into the minds and motivations of mean girls. Wickedly delicious ending.

Pretty generic teen girls gone wild, damaged youth, mystery vibe but I always enjoy that.
