Aspen is making the most of her teenage years, spending her days thinking of fashion, her nomination for Homecoming Queen and her hot boyfriend, Lucas. In fact, as with most teenagers, she's more than a little self-obsessed.

But then her whole life goes awry, starting with her failure to nab the Homecoming nomination (which she loses to her arch-rival, Angel). Then Lucas loses the Homecoming King nomination to Rand -- a guy with a head full of curls and what she calls a "D-lister" at school. Her whole world is upside down.

Then Angel goes missing, and Aspen is having a hard time taking the situation seriously. Especially when she's having her own problems. Someone filled her locker with porn, wrote terrible things about her on the bathroom mirror and her hot boyfriend Lucas is suddenly AWOL. As the situation escalates, Aspen is spending more time with Rand, and even though he's a D-lister, there seems to be a weird spark between them.

They didn't write teen books like this when I was in high school -- and it's a darned shame. And while I gotta admit this is just another version of nerd turns into hottie, it's a darned good one. Aspen does some serious readjustment on how she views life (which involves finally looking away from mirrors and her wardrobe) and becomes a person you can like. Snappy dialogue + good characterization + fun story = a terrific teen read!
