Summary: Almost without flaws
Comment: A very powerful, true-to-life book about the world teenagers live in. This is such a good read. It's insightful, thought-provoking, humorous, grim, and well-written. One book for adolescents that should definitely not be overlooked. I'm glad I discovered it when I was still in my teens.

Summary: Pleased Princess
Comment: Princess Ashley is an amazing book. I chose to read this book because I thought it would be an easy book to relate to, and it is. This book follows a young girl who moves to a new place and begins highscool. She becomes into the popular group with Ashley. My favorite charater is Chelsea because she is just a normal girl trying to fit in. I think that the best part of Princess Ashley was when Chelsea and her boyfriend, Pod, dress up as hippies and go to a party. I would reccomend this book to any tennager because you can really relate.

Summary: Very Realistic
Comment: This is one of only a few books about high school kids that I really related to when I was in high school myself. The characters are so real and multidimensional. You see how shallow and immature golden girl Ashley really is, yet you also realize she has problems that make you just a little more sympathetic, and you're even drawn by her seeming worldiness and sophistication just enough to understand narrator Chelsea's admiration for her. Didn't we all wish at one time or another that we could be part of the In Crowd? Chelsea herself is a wonderfully realistic teenager, and her character is extremely well developed as we follow her through high school. Her relationship with her mother is very true to life, and progresses believably as Chelsea matures. And Pod is probably the most loveable, interesting high school boy I've ever come across in young adult fiction. This is one of those books that I've saved since I was a teenager and re-read once a year or so. This book in particular is a real blast from my past as it was published when I was in high school and makes references to things that were big then (Molly Ringwald, Sheila E singing "The Glamourous Life"). Though those things may make it a bit dated, the storyline and characters are sure to appeal to young adults today.
