About the Book
There are those who are popular.
There are those who are outcasts.
And there are those who must choose between the two.
Megan Tuw has always been popular. As a leader of her high school’s most cliquish group, she’s among the anointed girls who think nothing of ridiculing those who don’t fit in. That includes Perdita Wiguiggan—a classmate Megan and her friends openly refer to as the Freak. But Megan doesn’t know the first thing about Perdita, since she would never dream of talking to her. Only when the two girls are thrown together in detention does Megan begin to see Perdita as more than someone with an odd last name, as more than the school outcast. And slowly, Megan finds herself drawn into an almost-friendship.
Then Megan faces a choice: Perdita or the group?

The Review
I'm a bit more Perdita than Megan, and I was interested in reading this book. But would a real-life Perdita even want to be friends with Megan? I don't think so.
The story seems like an adult's version of school and friends. More than a teenager's version. Although having to choose between a group of friends and one person they don't like is common.
If you dig deeper into the characters there is a lot more than meets the eye. That is what saves this book.
Read-worthy factor - 3 (out of 5)
