From besties to worsties and back again...
Team Avalon:
For Avalon, staying on top of trends has never been a problem—until her fellow cheerleaders decide that her BFF Halley is definitely out this season. Now Avalon must choose between the frenemy who embarrassed her in front of everyone or the new friends who stood by her.
vs.
Team Halley:
Halley thinks she's got it all: her forever-friend Avalon, her new bestie Sofee, and the hottest fall wardrobe at Seaview Middle School. Her life is a total YES. But when Sofee spies Avalon flirting with Halley's crush, will it be World War Halvalon all over again?
The Frenemies series (#1) is the Desperate Housewives of books.
The characters are so stupid and could easily fix all their scheming and live a happy life - but, of course, they're snarky, so it makes up for it; there's boy drama up the wazzoo; the cheerleading team comes into it; there are TEAMS for the characters, for Oz sake.
And with that, it's a wonderful piece of brain candy.
Overall Rating & Final Comments: 8/10. Simple, not very deep, and the reality TV of books. Gotta love it.
Happy reading!
PS: Anybody here a Glee fan? When I got to this part, Glee was all I could think of...
Avalon took a deep, energizing breath as Brianna signaled for the music to start. When the first few notes of Madonna's "4 Minutes" cheer remix began pumping through the speakers, the crowd went crazy. Parents dressed in blue and gold waved giant LIONS ARE #1 foam hands in sync with the cheerleaders while the students leapt to their feet, dancing along.
