Hating Alison Ashley by Robin Klein

4.0

Hating Alison Ashley is about a girl named Erica. Erica wants to be the best at everything. She also wants to be rich, and beautiful, and well dressed, and famous, and very important. Alison Ashley is a new girl at Erica's school. Alison Ashley seems to be everything that Erica isn't. Rather than trying to make friends with Alison or seeing things from Alison's point of view, Erica constantly tries to lie and one up Alison.

*Spoiler Alert: But at the end Erica learns that some of the things she thought she wanted aren't really right for her anyway. She learns that it's not so bad to be herself. She learns that the grass isn't always greener on the other side. And she befriends Alison Ashley*

This is a fun book for kids and even for adults who are looking for something lighthearted and quick to read.
