Critics Review

”[T]he problems inherent with girl-on-girl competitions are tempered by heated discussions of feminism. More than just a prom-night romance, this will prompt good conversation.” – Booklist“Helgeson deftly explores the complexities of popularity and the pressures placed on girls to perform for and please boys.
