The author creates suspense in the book because she always chooses a plot in the book and the problem sometimes is not answered until the end or it gets answered in the middle but there are a bunch of other problems that go on. She makes it suspenseful because your always wanting to know what happens next because something might happen unexpectedly and then you want to know whats gonna happen know. The way she writes makes it very interesting and you never want to put down the book. I sometimes finish a book in two days because I am so into it that I don't want to stop reading.

This book/series reminds me of school and girls today because some of the things in the book could happen in real life. Probably not to that extreme but similar things could happen. A lot of the characters situations are easy to understand and relate to. I think that it is easy to relate to because the author is writing in the perspective of teenage girls that have to deal with situations you might be dealing with or some girls have to deal with.

A motto Massie, the main character seems to live by is "always look your best, you'll never know who you will meet." I think that she lives by this because she always has to look really pretty and her outfits have to be perfect wherever she is. For example when she was going to play soccer she made this outfit that wasn't a soccer outfit at all like instead of shorts she had a skirt on and everything. Also everything that she wears has to be designer. She wont even wear anything that is last season. It all has to be new and in style. So I think that that motto represents her best because she always had to look perfect.
