Bratfest at Tiffany's (Clique Series #9) by Lisi Harrison

From Barnes & Noble

The Clique are a group of affluent, sophisticated suburban New York teens who, to an outsider at least, seem to be 13 years old going on 22. In this popular novel series, these catty friends and stylish shoppers are seen through the eyes of Clique insider Massie Block. The gossip is fierce; the fashion talk, hip and elegant; and somehow through it all, friends remain friends.

From the Publisher

Massie Block: The Briarwood boys have invaded OCD and are taking over everything. Worse, the soccer boys have become so popular that the Pretty Committee's alpha status is in serious jeopardy. So Massie lays out a New Year-New Pretty Committee rule: Anyone caught crushing on a boy will be thrown out of the NPC-forever. But will she be able to follow her own decree when she sees that Derrington has ditched his shorts-obsession in favor of ah-dorable jeans?

Alicia Rivera: Is the opposite of onboard with the boyfast. Her crush, the Ralph Lauren-luh-ving Josh Hotz, is more irresistible than crème brûlée fro-yo. But is he worth losing her spot in the NPC? And taking on the wrath of Massie?

Dylan Marvil: Is so ready for the boyfast. She's straightened her unruly red hair and permanently pressed boys out of her life. If only she could do the same with curly fries and caramel popcorn.

Kristen Gregory: Has traded her sporty-chic Pumas for Billabong board shorts and a shark tooth necklace. She claims she's sworn off boy-crushes, so what's with her Blue Crush makeover?

Claire Lyons: Spent all summer thinking about Cam's one blue eye and one green eye. But now he's moved on to a new girl faster than you can say cuh-yutest couple. At least Claire finally has a secure spot in the NPC-unless jealousy-flirting breaks the boyfast. . . .

The Clique: The only thing harder than getting in is staying in.

Children's Literature

In this ninth "Clique" novel, the Pretty Committee (PC) is OUT and the New Pretty Committee (NPC) is IN. Faced with an invasion of Briarwood boys on Octavian Country Day School's turf, Massie's alpha status dreams of eighth grade begin to fade like last year's Chanel tote. Massie announces a boyfast, that is absolutely no flirting and no texting. The girls' friendships are put to the test as one of their own is expelled from the NPC. The girls learn how to balance their own sense of self in a new world full of crushes. Lisi Harrison walks a fine line between expensive dreams of manolo shoes and designer handbags and alienating the average reader, who cannot afford Tiffany's, to an LBR status (that's Loser Beyond Repair). In the end, I hale the "Clique" novels and Lisi Harrison for her strong female characters that are as flawed as they are perfect. Reviewer: Ann Farina
