It was okay, not one of my favorites but an easy flick to read. This is the 9th out of 10 books and the first out of the series that I have read. Though you don't need to read the whole serie to understand it. Sometimes I did get confused with the names because some names could be a girl or a boy and I was like; "What are you?"

This is my favorite book in the whole series because there is a new dean, and new policies. There was a lot of drama and backstabbing in this one.

It breaks my heart to know I've only got one more It Girl novel to go, but at least they're still infinitely more entertaining than most of the other series out there.

Jenny continues to be so much better here than she is in either the TV show or the original book series. She does the right thing because it's what she should do (and also because not getting in trouble for helping throw a party at the new Dean's house is getting her into trouble with her classmates). Tinsley gets tricked by someone who is far more similar to old!Tinsley, but you still buy it because I'm betting T is getting bored/lonely with Brett and Callie off doing their own things. Which is a big part of why I liked T's storyline more than Brett's or Callie's.

I really do Isla gets what's coming to her in the next book, though. In a big, big way.

Wow things are getting very interesting here towards the ends and the characters are finally learning from their mistakes (after repeating them 3 times!)

What an ending! Still not sure how I feel about Isaac and Isla, but the next book is the last one! Excited to see how this will all end.

Better than the last one but that's not saying much. I won't forsake the series like I'd originally planned, but I'm gonna lay off for a while.
