All it takes is one fatal mistake...
High School beauty Natalie Hargrove has spent years plotting to become prom queen. She's got just what it takes: popularity, glamour and ruthless ambition.
When someone threatens to overturn her perfect plan, Natalie needs to take control. But a critical error plunges her into a sea of secrets, shame and scandal. Because it turns out there's one thing even Natalie Hargrove can't command - and that's fate.
I heard about this book through the author Lauren Kate. I had previously read Fallen and enjoyed it so I wanted to see what else Lauren could produce. I was intrigued reading the blurb on the back. It seemed different from her usual genre, but I was interested so being the OCD book buyer I went ahead and bought it (: Even thought the book pretty much promised a high school story with no mystical creature, I guess deep down I was expecting one, so the story turned out differently to what I imagined in the end. I got 'into' this book very easily. It wasn't as if I sunk into my reading trance I get when I read a book, but I enjoyed reading it and picked it up a lot. There is an element of love in the story with Natalie and her boyfriend Mike, but it is not all about it, so I found it very re-freshing to read. A nice break from all the usually fantasy love stories that dominate the Young Adult market these days (not that I don't love a good vampire love story). With the ending I found that Lauren did the job well. She ended it in a way that was possible and which ended things, neatly (if not nicely) for the story. It was a good read and I would read it again (:
