These are realistic issues that can come up in any high school. One of the girls has an inappropriate relationship with a teacher while another is bullied once an explicit video is posted online. The subject matter of the story was very serious at times. They have to summarize some things they do outside of the texts so the reader knows what’s happening. It is told in a unique format, because it is only told through texts between three friends. These references actually really confused me at first, until I read that it was actually an updated version if the book with current popular culture references! This makes the book relevant for today’s teens. The girls watched Scandal and Grey’s Anatomy. Since I knew this book was published 14 years ago, I was shocked at all of the current references. After reading the book Upside Down Magic, which is coauthored by Lauren Myracle, I decided to give this series a try. I remember seeing this book in the bookstore when it first came out, but I never read it. Will the winsome threesome make it through the year? Review:

Then a jerky boy sends peppy Angela into the dumps, tough Maddie makes a mistake that has the whole school talking, and good girl Zoe gets in over her head with a flirty teacher.

But as the weeks pass and the instant messages accumulate, it’s clear that tenth grade will be a roller coaster ride of boy temptation, math torture, donut emergenices, and Queen Bee encounters. On the first day of tenth grade, best friends Maddie (mad maddie), Angela (SnowAngel), and Zoe (zoegirl) vow not to let school stupidness get them down… or split them apart.
