Clique Here: A Wish Novel

After a summer spent coming up with theories and prepping for the switch, Lily starts her new school as Blake, a popular girl with a cool name, ready to climb the social ladder.



But every hypothesis has its flaws, and Blake will have to adjust her experiment as she adjusts to her new classmates. And when Katie suddenly shows up in Blake's world, things get messy. Who's got the winning formula: Blake or Lily?

This is an awesome book! My favorite part has to be where she learns you don’t have to be sporty to be popular! That is just a wonderful book to read!

Started off so strong, and the plot was AWESOME, but it just like dropped gradually halfway through. ☹️ not so sure how I liked the ending too.
