Lucy needs Natasha's approval. It's a perfect match. Until it isn't. As Lucy starts to adapt her life to suit Natasha she learns the secrets of Natasha's constant success.

Age old themes of queen bees and wannabes are addressed in this debut novel of Wendy Howitt. I am not the target demographic but I think giving this story to a young teen entering the tricky world of high school could start a very worthwhile conversation about staying true to yourself.

While I’m not the target group , I still very much enjoyed this page turner. The author did an excellent job of capturing the tone of young teenagers and reminding us all that nothing much has changed at school. There is always the cool gang and the peripherals who will do or say anything to be accepted. This should be compulsory reading text for school aged children between the ages of 14-16 as a clear reminder of how when we aren’t true to ourselves and lose our ability to do right, things can go horribly wrong .

Loved this book. Within this book I recognised so many of the characters I failed to identify when I was a teenager. This book really captures the “making good choices” message we all want our children to hear but are often deaf too. This book can absolutely help teenage girls and boys navigate the trials of teenage-hood whilst being entertained in this page turner. Really looking forward to the next instalment from this Australia young adult fiction author
