For three years, Marni has been a proud member of the Diamonds, the rulers of Bennington School since their freshman year. This year Clarissa, the leader of the Diamonds, has decided to cement their supremacy by taking over the school’s mock trial group and turn the whole process as a way to humiliate their enemies – or anyone else they feel like taking down. And after helping create this system of oppression, Marni has set herself up as a target by dating Clarissa’s ex behind her back. Now that she is no longer a Diamond, will Marni be able to create a life for herself? Or is revenge on the horizon?
I was more entertained by this book than I thought I would be; I am, for the record, not a supporter of “Mean Girl” books as a rule, nor books about spoiled rich girls who get everything that they want. SO, while this is not a fine piece of literature, it was a good read, with a tip of the hat to the American Revolution in the process.
