An intense look at the rules of high school attraction — and the price that’s paid for them.
It happens every year. A list is posted, and one girl from each grade is chosen as the prettiest, and another is chosen as the ugliest. Nobody knows who makes the list. It almost doesn’t matter. The damage is done the minute it goes up.
This is the story of eight girls, freshman to senior, “pretty” and “ugly.” And it’s also the story of how we see ourselves, and how other people see us, and the tangled connection of the two.
I cannot even imagine coming to school one day and finding myself on the list as the ugliest girl in my school class. I have no idea what I would do or who I would run to but you can bet the damn farm that students show up at school with guns because of things like this. I’m kind of anxious to read this book because I’d like to get into the heads of the girls on the ugly list from this book. My heart already hurts for them. I gotta read this one. It comes out on April 1, 2012 so mark your calendars.
..and that’s your scoop!
