review 1: In this book, Victoria; the alpha girl of the school who has won Prom Queen so far three times in a row. Until the beautiful Karolina comes in as a nobody in school. When she would walk in the halls, all the guys would stare at her as if she was a goddess. When Victoria saw this she wanted to do anything capable to not let Karolina be crowned as Prom Queen. My text-to-self connections are that when I started singing when I was in first grade. And well after just one christmas carol I had it all. Until in fourth grade, a girl named Gloriela stole all my spot light with her clothes, accessories, vocabulary, basically everything about her. And as Victoria, I wanted to do everything that I was capable of to not let her take away the most important to me... singing. She didn't ... morebecause she couldn't really sing that well. This is my text-to-self connection with Victoria.I gave this book three stars. I liked the book but for me it was just to stupid and selfish. My first reason is that for me Victoria was very selfish. At one point I thought it would the book more interesting, it did a little at first but then it got boring. My second reason is that I didn't like how the other characters seemed really fake in the book. And the reason why I say this is because there was a part that I thought that this character was fake was on page 3, chapter 1 and it said, "the floorboard was held together with duct tape and had a hole in each corner the size of a quarter. So every time it rained, Molly would feel the rain. Despite all of this- Molly loved the car." I think that this character was the most fake character in the whole book. And my last reason is that this book made me think about how harsh I was to Gloriela. The person that I would recommend this book to is a person who likes selfish books that makes you think of what you did in the past.
review 2: It's a surprise for me to find that this is one of the best book I've ever read. I hasd my own misgiving when I saw this book. I only read it because it was written by Jamie Ponti. The cause of it is that this book has multi point of view which I thought will make the characterization kinda shallow. Not only that, it's also about prom...I have to give it hands down for Jamie Ponti. She managed to create this book with an intersting and believable array of lovable characters. The alternate point of view was not confusing at all and the transition is so smooth I didn't even feel it. The funny and fitting description of each characters' personality is also awesome. The description is crisp and not long winded but it's just right. Every characters in this book is deep. They're not just a stereotype. I just wish that Matt and Rachel ended up together. They are such a great and kind persons. less
