Massie and Claire are at war after Massie required the Pretty Committee to ditch their crushes and upgrade. Claire refused to give up Cam. Instead, she found a couple of ninth grade girls to replace Massie and her ridiculous demands.

She's never felt more free or more like herself since her family moved to town. She's so tired of not being her true self, yet whenever she sees Massie and the other girls, she finds herself a little wistful for the old days. She's not sure she wants to go to war with Massie, but after Massie starts it, there's no way she's backing down.

Massie can't believe Claire and her new friends. She almost has too much going on in her world to worry about Claire, like lip kissing an older boy and family drama. Still, she can't let Claire off for ditching the group. When she's done with Claire, there won't be any more friendship with ninth graders or anyone else.

Will the two girls ever declare a truce, or will they fight until someone backs down?

Claire and Massie continue their battle but with undertones of friendship. I love how Claire is the only one who will stand up to the alpha and also be her only true friend. I'll be sad to see this series end after the next book, since they're such quick and entertaining reads.
