Title: Some Girls Are
Author: Courtney Summers
Publication Date: January 5, 2010
From Goodreads:
Climbing to the top of the social ladder is hard--falling from it is even harder. Regina Afton used to be a member of the Fearsome Fivesome, an all-girl clique both feared and revered by the students at Hallowell High... until vicious rumors about her and her best friend's boyfriend start going around. Now Regina's been "frozen out" and her ex-best friends are out for revenge. If Regina was guilty, it would be one thing, but the rumors are far from the terrifying truth and the bullying is getting more intense by the day. She takes solace in the company of Michael Hayden, a misfit with a tragic past who she herself used to bully. Friendship doesn't come easily for these onetime enemies, and as Regina works hard to make amends for her past, she realizes Michael could be more than just a friend... if threats from the Fearsome Foursome don't break them both first.
Tensions grow and the abuse worsens as the final days of senior year march toward an explosive conclusion in this dark new tale from the author of Cracked Up To Be.
I've had my eye on this for a while. It keeps coming up as a possible trade on Swap.com but I have been holding out for a hardcover. I have been on a hardcover kick lately because, well, I am a little obsessed with books and I like them all to look pretty on my shelf and most of my YA books are hardcover so I'd like to keep that up. Only, now that I am looking at it on Amazon, it was apparently never released as a hardcover. Doh! I have been holding out for nothing. I'll be on the watch for this to come up as a trade again now that I know. I really can't wait to read it, it looks like a very intense read.
