Best Friends for Never: A Clique Novel: 2 (The Clique, 2)

THE CLIQUE の'@だけ日本語で出版されてて、それがおもしろかったんで、'Aを英語で読んでみようと挑戦してみました。ストーリーもすっごくおもしろいし、アメリカの女の子の様子も（これはかなりセレブな子達だけど）よくわかるし、口語も見れたり、よかったです。私は、クレアの、積極的で、前向きで、どんだけ馬鹿にされたり意地悪されても、負けずに自分に自信をもって生きてる姿に心をうたれました。やっぱ興味あるものだと英語でも読もうって気がおこりますね。私は今英語を勉強中で、来年アメリカの大学に入ろうと思ってる高３なんですけど、かなり楽しく英語の勉強ができました☆

I’ll give this book a solid three stars. It’s pretty much the same thing as the last book. Massie is just being her usual bossy self,and the rest of the characters just got on my nerves. Now onto my pet peeves of this novel:1. Popcorn and mustard. (Who on earth eats that?!) 2. The lack of parental supervision in this book series is amazing. Massie throws a boy-girl Halloween party. The characters are only in the seventh grade. And her dad just throws money to Massie like water! If I asked for a boy-Girl Halloween party, my dad would be like what in the world would possess you to ask that?! They also go to the mall everyday after school. How do they still maintain good grades? They also go to school dressed up in innnapropiete devil costumes for Halloween. Kristen seems like the only member of Massie’s Clique that has a head screwed on tightly. Thankfully , Kristen’s mom forbids her from going to Massie’s party. I was like “You go Kristen’s mom!” 3. The way they talk. Gawd,Hawt,Ehmagod,LBR,Alpha,Beta,you get the picture. 4. The unrealisticness of it all. Massie literally prances around tossing out insults. Who allows their kid to act like this? If your daughter wants to read this book make sure she knows not emulate Massie’s awful behavior and to not ever do this to anyone in life.

I loved this second Clique book. I am 27 and so am not the usual market for these books, but I just love these as a guilty pleasure.In this second book, Massie convinces her parents that she and Claire want to hold a Halloween party together, and since her parents are thrilled that Massie and Claire are getting along so well, they agree that the gals can host the most fabulous party ever - with boys!Claire and Massie's friendship, of course, is tenuous at best and non-existant at worst, so there is the usual drama of Claire trying to get into the in crowd while the in crowd tries hard to keep her out! But Claire is smart, interesting, and unique, and so she manages to pull off some brilliant moves which help her to come out on top.While the party planning and excitement is going on, Alicia is drawing away from the group and seems to be breaking up with the clique. To add to Massie's struggle to stay Queen Bee, rumors are flyin that Massie just "hasn't got it" anymore, rumors which she is going to try her best to dispell.This is another fun romp through the world of the young, rich, and beautiful, and if you liked the first book you will like this next one in the series.

Best Friends For Never was not as good as the first one, The Clique. The Clique had more surprises then Best Friends For Never. Best Friends For Never was good, just not that good. I also recommend if you don't want to ruin a big surprise in Best Friends For Never then don't read book number three, Revenge Of The Wannabes, before Best Friends For Never.I think this book is appropriate for ages 12 & up, The Clique was a bit more iffy due to Massie, Kristen, Dylan, & Alicia being very mean to Claire. In Best Friends For Never, the girls aren't as mean to Claire.Over all, it was pretty good, but if u don't want to ruin surprises in this book, then don't skip to Revenge Of The Wannabes & if you aren't going to read the series in order, then don't choose this one to be the first one of the series that you read, because you will most likely think the series I stupid or bad.Hope I helped! :)

Bought this as a gift for my grand daughter. "I" am not happy with the content - "I" think this series advocates MEANESS. However, it is a best seller and 'all the kids are reading them' <~ so she says.Anything for my first grand child :-)Yes, I'll probably end up ordering more of the series. *sigh*
