Even Better!!!

If you thought "The Clique" was awesome, then you'll love this book! Massie decides to through OCD's first boy/girl halloween party, but her parents are making her throw it with Claire Lyons! OCD also has a competition to see who can create the best uniform for the school. Massie and Claire come up with a solution in the end. The ending of the book was not the best, but was still an OK finish.

The dish on the sequel

Again, the Clique returns but has even more interesting twists: boys.

This book was certainly better than the last one, seeing as the first book was all about the petty cat fights about girls. This sequel has an added interest, which is boys, parties, and the foreshadowing of Alicia's downfall. There is more of a backbone to this sequel.

The Pretty Committee returns, and they are preparing for the most sugary of holidays: Halloween. Claire is certainly excited, but not in the ways the PC are. Upon hearing that her status is rumored to be diminishing, Massie plans to hold her first boy-girl party, inviting everyone: the populars, the LBRs, and more importantly, the Briarwood boys.

Along with that, Massie and Claire strike a silly bet between fashion. Massie can't buy anything new, and Claire can't repeat anything she wears. It was a foolish bet, but hey, girls will be girls. But what kills me the most is that Claire continues to fight for the friendship of girls who torture her, yet, that fighting will pay off (later).

Massie stresses over the fact that boys will be at her party, not because she's nervous, but because she lacks boy experience. That is a favorite part of mine, recognizing that those who think they know everything actually don't. She's insecure, just like every girl.

She is inspired to become a boy-expert, considering the new boys in her life: Cam Fisher, her crush; Derrington; the boy who has a crush on her and Cam's best friend; and even Todd Lyons, the boy who stole her first kiss.

But little does she know, that Cam Fisher falls for Claire during the party and vice versa. It was nice to see Claire have a little bit of luck, considering all that she's been through. From the sabotage of the Dirty Devil costumes and the boys that Massie swarmed on her, Claire deserved a little more love.

The drama increases as a newcomer enters the picture: Olivia Ryan. She's beautiful, blonde, and a huge threat to Massie. All the boys are all over her and Alicia, who have mysteriously become BFFs. But after the fashion show that Alicia and Olivia won, the bonds of BFFs are broken for the Alpha Massie, and her Beta Alicia.

But when bonds are broken, new ones are created. Massie and Claire team up for the fashion show, and become friends when they bond over the fact that Alicia cheated to win, when they deserved to. Claire gets what she wants, but somehow it makes the reader feel that she'll have even more bad luck in the next book.

Best Friends For Never is a surprising improvement, which deals with everyday teen problems: boys, backstabbing, crushes, fighting over boys, new friendships, and new rivals.

Even though I found some part unneccessary, it was a pretty good sequel. Once again, when reading these books, I look through the glamour to find the true lesson that Lisi Harrison wants the girls to see.

In the second book starring Westchester County's most privileged middle schoolers, the Clique declares Massie a hero for hosting the first boy/girl Halloween party of 8th grade. Massie's already hired Landon Dorsey, the hottest party planner in the 9-1-4 area code, but her parents insist she has to invite the entire class. Unfortunately that means everyone. Layne is bummed that the boys will be there -- she IMs Claire that's so "DESPR8" -- as Claire wonders if maybe a boyfriend will make her happy.Meanwhile, Massie and the Clique are fighting over who gets to invite Derek Herrington. Dylan thought it was obvious that she was the one who danced all night with Derek at the OCD benefit last month, but says "Whatevs" when Kristen gets all weird about it. Fine, she can have him. He was a terrible dancer anyway and there will be tons of guys to choose from at the party....
