Bratfest at Tiffany's

The Clique #9

by Lisi Harrison

Massie Block: The Briarwood boys have invaded OCD and are taking over everything. Worse, the soccer boys have become so popular that the Pretty Committee's alpha status is in serious jeopardy. So Massie lays out a New Year-New Pretty Committee rule: Anyone caught crushing on a boy will be thrown out of the NPC-"forever." But will she be able to follow her own decree when she sees that Derrington has ditched his shorts-obsession in favor of ah-dorable jeans?
Alicia Rivera: Is the opposite of onboard with the boyfast. Her crush, the Ralph Lauren-luh-ving Josh Hotz, is more irresistible than creme brulee fro-yo. But is he worth losing her spot in the NPC? And taking on the wrath of Massie?
Dylan Marvil: Is so ready for the boyfast. She's straightened her unruly red hair and permanently pressed boys out of her life. If only she could do the same with curly fries and caramel popcorn.
Kristen Gregory: Has traded her sporty-chic Pumas for Billabong board shorts and a shark tooth necklace. She claims she's sworn off boy-crushes, so what's with her "Blue Crush "makeover?
Claire Lyons: Spent all summer thinking about Cam's one blue eye and one green eye. But now he's moved on to a new girl faster than you can say cuh-yutest couple. At least Claire finally has a secure spot in the NPC-unless jealousy-flirting breaks the boyfast. . . . The Clique: The only thing harder than getting in is staying in."

The book Bratfest at Tiffany’s is a contemporary fiction book. This book is about five best friends, known as the Pretty Committee, who are the elite and popular girls in their used-to-be all girls’ school. Their brother school Briarwood Academy has collapsed because of burst pipes. Their popularity is threatened because the OCD girls are now obsessed with the boys. Because there are so many students in the school overflow trailers are needed, which the Pretty Committee decide to make-over. They make them look so good that everyone wants to be in their instead of Main Building. Meanwhile, they are on a Boyfast where they cannot interact with the BOCD boys. Alicia breaks this pact and is kicked out of the New Pretty Committee. In the end, Alicia gets to announce who will get to have classes in the overflow trailers, (the winners of the locker decorating contest). She decides to change the results and put the BOCD soccer boys and some new-and-improved Losers Beyond Repair in the trailers. In the end the Boyfast is called off and now there’s only a Boyfest. Alicia is let back into the back-to-normal Pretty Committee and all is as usual. I think the writing style is excellent because there is dialogue and thoughts from each person’s mind. An example of internal conflict is Claire and Massie secretly have crushes during the Boyfast. An external problem is when everyone has to compete for the trailers. I like this book because it is like the other in its series and there is always something intense going on. I recommend this book to teenage girls.

Quotes that stood out to me
"Alicia thought Derrignton's butt-flash was funny... for a second. But mostly because she pictured Massie standing there looking embarrassed. She imagined catching Massie's eye while she was trying to look all mature and serious, and making her crack up. Soon Dylan and Kristen and Claire would be laughing too. And then, after like ten minutes of ab-splitting hysterics, they'd grip their stomachs and ask each other what had been so funny in the first place. None of them would know. And that would make them crack up all over again. Before long, the boys would be staring at them, half chuckling, half wondering what was wrong with them. And their interest would make them feel beautiful."
- why are they so cute. right, they're like 12 year olds

'In this particular case, TBD does not stand for "To Be Decided.". It's code for "Total Babe Dempsey" and "Too Bad, Derrington". But Massie refused to write that. Puh-lease! What if someone found her Palm? She's have to kick herself out of the NPC, and that was nawt an option. Besides, it was a harmless crush. Nothing at all to be concerned about. Nuh- thing!"
- what a loser ❤️

last book I have for this series and it seems like a nice place to end
never gonna willingly read these again tho
*cut to me searching nearby libraries and pdf versions because I'm NOT gonna pay money for these*

That was actually a fun read. Even though Alicia was on her own again, and I didn't really enjoy those parts of the book, I really love watching Massie take charge. I actually hated the fact that in the beginning, Massie started losing her alpha-ness, and everything started changing, but the end was great, and I can't wait to read the next one.

Massie Block has had it with the new Briarwood boys stealing her and the Alpha's attention. She and her friends go on a boyfast, but are unsure of the consequences. Alicia Rivera and Claire Lyons can't resist two boys, so only Alicia secretly goes for it. An overflow also happens at the school so Massie, Dylan, Kristen, and Claire have to move into stinky trailers for the rest of the year. Massie can't take any more of Alicia or the trailers that she dumps Alicia and gives the trailers and the "Nerds" inside of it a makeover. Alicia can't help but notice how amazing the trailers and the people look, but she has already sacrificed her friendship with Massie. Later Massie finds a boy that she used to think was disgusting, but is now EXTREMELY cute. She tries to hold on, but in the end they all ditch the boyfast.

[Kensie Yeates]

I found this in a pile of books my mom was giving to goodwill. I decided to re-read it for the first time since I was in 6th grade. The book is trash, I can’t believe this was allowed to be published. I told her I wanted to keep it.

[Jeannie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a realistic fiction about four girls and their drama filled lives. Their school, OCD, is overfilled with students and half over the school must transfer over to school trailers including the New Pretty Committee. The only member of the NPC who is not in the trailers is Alicia and while the trailer girls are on a boy fast, Alicia is with her crush and her new friends in the main building. Alicia loses her spot in the NPC when the girls find out she ditched them to be with her crush. The NPC try to turn the situation around and end up being the most popular girls in school.
Massie, the leader of the NPC, is a character who deals with an internal and external conflict. She has to deal with moving into gross trailers while at the same time keep her Alpha status up. She also has to learn to not show any emotion of liking her crush (she says it is a sign of weakness) and make sure her friends don’t flirt either. Another conflict Massie deals with is getting back into the main building but after the trailers get redecorated, she will do anything to stay in them.
I recommend this book to girls who like reading about drama. This book shows how girls overcome their problems in a “fashionable” way and in my opinion; I thought it was a good book.

Got sidetracked by the summer series. Points for the theme and name.

[Karen · Rating 1 out of 5]

The clique novels are....entertaining, but.....well I'm going to try my best to describe to you in non cuss words how much i hate them. Okay, I'll admit it, I've read a clique novel(well, maybe two).
First of all, I hate the main characters.

1) The "Pretty Comitte", as they call themselves, think they can control the world just because they're a bunch of spoiled, sneaky, little rich girls who have designer purses. They think they rule the school, and their leader, Massie Block, is the "alpha". They think they can order people around, and that boys should stop and check them out every time they walk by, and girls should stop and ooh and ah in jealousy and want to be just like them.
Excuse me while I gag.

2) As you already know, they're rich. In this novel, Massie block uses her wealth to change her classroom trailers she's been put into, into ridiculously luxurious "Tiffiny Boxes", which must have costed about 6,000 dollars. Obviously she has enough money to throw around with out a care in the world, and thinks that SHE'S got problems. In the book there is actually a line that expresses says what she's thinking when she gets put into the overflow classroom trailers: "This wasn't supposed to happen to her! Things like this happen to OTHER people. Ugly people!". First of all, I cannot even describe how stuck up that sounds. "Oh poor me, I get to take classes in a trailer even though I'm filthy rich". What about all the kids in India and New Dehli who are living in poverty with only ONE shirt to wear? They would probably LOVE to go to school, which most of them don't get to do, and would LOVE to get to be in a sheltered trailer to learn! It just irritates me so much how this frickin' pretty committe can't think of anything but themselves.

[Emily Sklaver · Rating 1 out of 5]

We're back, ladies and gentlemen. TECHNICALLY speaking, if you count the summer collection and the prequel, this is number 15, and there are actually 20 books in the series, but I reckon I'm the only one taking numbers by their literal meaning. Anyway, that's not what this review is about. I think I'm getting addicted to adding pictures to my reviews, so here's another one.



Perfect way to describe Massie, wouldn't you say? I'm referring to the big head. lol

Anyhoo, let's get started.

So we come back from summer break, and change is in the air. And not just for Massie and gang, but for the school itself. For those of you who need a refresher: before summer vacation started, the boys have infiltrated the girls' school because theirs got destroyed, and because of that, Massie is overly paranoid that she's not going to be the most popular student anymore. I would share with you the ENTIRETY of the TWO PAGES where Massie fantasizes about spilling her guts to the guidance counselor about her "popularity crisis" blah-blah-blah and "Glossip girl doesn't ship to Canada" yada-yada-yada and the guidance counselor canceling all her future meetings and chiz and devoting the rest of the year to stroking Massie's hot air balloon ego...

But that's just going to take forever. Just know that it made me feel like this:



Let's move on. Once again, there is that vividly descriptive writing that makes you think of a movie playing on the pages. Example: the health class scene. Before that, the scene where Alicia's crush on Josh Hotz gets out of control when he joins her in the announcements booth. Speaking of Alicia, I have a bullying example that features Alicia this time, and it goes like this:

Alicia was tempted to say that she'd seen that look in Madam-EW-selle, but nobody was there to laugh with her, so why bother?...Alicia smiled again, only this time it was full of fake. "What's your name?"
"Irika. With an I."
"Noted." Alicia hurried out...
"...I would like to let everyone know that IrikawithanIdoesnotflushthetoilet!" Principal Burns opened her lipless mouth in horror, but Alicia tossed her the headphones and raced out the door before she could say anything.

Wall, meet head. Head, meet wall. BAM!

I feel better.

Moving on. Massie and gang get transferred to the ugly trailers outside in the parking lot on a rainy day. Right off the bat, there were two things that disgusted me about their spoiled rotten...ness.

One: This kind of thing happened to ugly people. Not her!
Two: Dylan quickly pulled a sea-blue-and-yellow Hawaiian-print sarong from her quilted backpack and wrapped it around her head. "If this rain makes me curl, I'm suing."
You don't sue Mother Nature! I bitched about that in my rant-review for the first book, but since it cropped up here, I figured it made sense to bring it back up. And as for Massie thinking that the trailer thing happened to "ugly" people, I thought that was just ludicrous on so many levels. I think I got a migraine from how many times I rolled my eyes in disgust. I've lost count.

Proceed.

I don't have anything else to say about the Alicia chapters after the picking-on-the-girl-in-the-bathroom episode, so now I'm going to jump the gun to the trailer makeover, where Massie—or rather, Effie James and her team—make the dinky overflow trailers look all pretty and sparkly and glamorous (Massie just takes all the credit for it). And THAT is yet another reason why the victims worship her (yes, I said WORSHIP) and recognize her as "their beloved alpha." I'm going to say this like Yoda: "Disgusted I am." Even after Massie randomly opens someone's suitcase and takes their belongings out and then uses said suitcase to stop the leak FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE of protecting her designer shoes (which happened BEFORE the trailer makeover, by the way). I repeat: "Disgusted I am." Again with the Yoda. Now sit tight as I go through some more Massie bullying examples:

"Well, my nose is sensitive to the smell of dead animal." Massie spritzed one last time before turning around and marching to the back of the room. "We have much bigger problems...Um, yeah! Didn't any of you watch the news last night?" Massie shouted in Braille Bait's face, causing her cheeks to gradate from fuchsia to deep burgundy.
"Um, excuse me!" Massie called. The seventh-grade twin girls stopped in their tracks. "Do you work at the American Airlines ticket counter?" The girls shook their heads. "Then why are you checking our bags?"
"What's going on?" Claire lifted her Elph high, but Massie slapped it out of her hand just as she was about to take a picture.
"Relax, Putty. Your nose plugs are perfectly safe back there. No one will touch them, I promise." The boy raced to collect his things. "Why did you just call me Putty? My name is--" "Whatever." Massie held a hand up to stop him from wasting her time.
"Ehmagawd, are those precious hearts on the band?" Braille Bait nodded proudly. "Then get it away from me," Massie snapped.

I'll stop here. But just know that it DISGUSTS me to no end when I see how much they revere her after she treats them like this.

One more thing to rant about, and then I'll wrap it up for this book. Before the trailer makeover, Massie invites Effie James, Dylan's mom's image consultant, to their HQ for a meeting, which is where she gets the idea for the makeover in the first place. Like I said, Effie and her crew did the dirty work and Massie took ALL the credit, but that's nothing to get worked up over so much as the IDEA behind the makeover. Are you ready for this? I’m not going to put the entire direct quote here, but here’s the point that I took away: They’re dangling a carrot in front of the Main Building students and pulling it out of reach just as they’re about to grab it. Either that or they’re rubbing it in that THEY, the overflow students, get to stay in those pretty trailers while YOU (the Main Building students) don’t, nah-nah-nah boo-boo. (So juvenile, I know.)

I’m going to say this one more time: “Disgusted I am.”

i LOVED this book. partially because it's the start of a new school year, which i always love, but also because look at that cover!! and also i love how flip flopped everything is, and how chaotic things become with the boys merging schools. because it's so true that girls would just become obsessed with the boys. so ofc the boyfast works out terribly.

i swear i thought claire continued being the stepmom even after being banished to the trailers? also the fact that the trailers only cost $6000 is so unbelievable lol. it's cute how claire and cam get back together. also i don't like dempsey lol

“You are such an LBR.”

Hilarious that that’s one of two quotes I found for this book. This one kind of makes me anxious with Alicia sneaking behind Massie’s back with Josh. Love though that no matter what, you can count on Massie to come out on top. Kind of like Kaz from the Six of Crows series.

Vor Jahren zum Schrottjulklapp geschenkt bekommen, habe ich mich nun endlich an das Buch gewagt...und was soll ich sagen, ich habe lange nicht mehr so ein grottenschlechtes Buch gelesen. Es ist auf so vielen Ebenen falsch: Vier Teenager aus der achten Klasse ohne Charaktereigenschaften, von denen wir nichts wissen, außer welche Markenklamotten sie tragen, welchen Lipgloss sie benutzen oder etwa welche Körbchengröße sie haben. WTF?! Was soll dieses dämliche Buch vermitteln? Es ist eigentlich egal, welchen Charakter du hast, Hauptsache du trägst die richtigen Klamotten und hast Brüste, die den Jungs gefallen. Tolle Botschaft. Sehr wertvoll. Die dämliche Rudelführerin ist eine unsympathische Mobberin und ihre speichelleckenden Schoßhündchen unterstützen sie dabei. Wird das mal kritisch hinterfragt? Nein. In irgendeinem Nebensatz steht mal, dass die tolle Massie innendrin auch ganz doll unsicher ist. Das hindert sie aber nicht daran, alle anderen, die nicht so top gestylt sind wie sie, fertigzumachen.
Die Story ist obendrein an Belanglosigkeit kaum zu überbieten. Man wünscht sich förmlich, dass gleich ein Meteorit einschlägt. Schrecklich von vorne bis hinten!
Ich hoffe für die Autorin, dass die ganzen Designer, die sich in dem Buch aneinanderreihen, ihr ein hübsches Sümmchen überwiesen haben. Das war ne inhaltslose Dauerwerbesendung.

Lisi Harrison's Bratfest at Tiffany's shocked me with it's crazy and

ridiculous drama.

The setting of this book is taken at Massie's school. The school

where at one point in time the school was all girls. Then, it's ruined

when boys are shoved in there. The setting makes the reader feel as if

the reader is actually attending the school as well. It compares to

the world we know because in reality there are a lot of schools

where drama goes down and everyone is affected by it. A contradiction

from reality and the book would be that most schools aren't rich and

not everyone is as completely cruel as the Pretty Committee.



In this book, everything goes crazy when an all-boys school gets

flooded and they have to move in an all girls school. The Pretty

Committe does not approve of this combination of people because

instead of their fancy spa filled, art, and fancy school they have to

have classes in mod buildings. Massie Block, the head of The Pretty

Committee, hates the idea. Also, the fact that the boys are taking

over their popularity in school pushes Massie to the edge and now she

is willing to do whatever it takes to get her popularity back. She's

so willing that she even re-decorates the mod buildings into the

unimaginable. The author for in this book makes the characters pop and

make them seem more realistic.



The style of Lisi Harrison is very interesting. She makes the

reader feel as if they are experiencing the events themselves.

She describes them with very descripitive words. Harrison is very

specific with the clothes that they wear and they actions they do. She

makes sure the reader catches the mood of a the person that is

speaking.


I recommend this book to anyone that loves to read about books that

have a sense of humor and loves the thrilling action of drama books.

Bratfest at Tiffany's by Lisi Harrison is yet another book in The Clique series. This book, like the rest of Harrison's novels, was absolutely wonderful. In the story the girls begin 8th grade year with new male classmates that manage to take the Pretty Committee's popularity power. As the girls struggle to gain back their status, they encounter lying and backstabbing within the group. This book really highlights the ups and downs of friendships, as well as the importance of doing the right thing.
One of the important parts to this story is when one member of the Pretty Committee leaves the group to be with a boy (the rest of the girls are on a "boyfast"). The gang acts in a way that is understandable but also a little irrational. In my eyes, guys come and go but friends are forever. Another aspect of the novel that I felt was important was when one of the girls had caused a disagreement in the group and she new that she needed to get everybody back together and fix the problem that she had caused. The group was very willing to accept the apology and together again the Pretty Committee was. I felt that this aspect of the story line was needed because every girl has gotten into fights with friends and it was nice for an author to show that it's okay to have problems in friendships and that they can be fixed easily.
By writing Bratfest at Tiffany's Harrison was able to connect with her readers in a way that seemed greater than any other of her books. The storyline was extremely relatable and the words flowed off the page with great ease. I would absolutely recommend this book to any girl in her teens and I am willing to bet that those who do read won't be able to stand the wait for the next novel (just like myself).

REVIEW OF BOOK PLOT WITH SPOILERS BELOW: READ AT OWN RISK
Probably my least favorite so far. Potentially triggering topics I noticed: body shaming, fat shaming, jokes about "special" people, really random and inappropriate use of Native American history. Starting at the beginning, Massie is both excited to start her 8th grade year and nervous knowing the boys will now be students in her school. Massie decides to start a "boyfast" that the NPC (new pretty committee) must agree to and uphold or they will be kicked out of the group. Dylan has no problem agreeing to the boyfast but Kristen, Claire, and Alicia are a bit hesitant. Kristen is now sporting a shark tooth necklace that she swears isn't from Dune--the surfer she was around over summer. Claire still has major feelings for Cam but he hasn't returned any texts or calls and she assumes he is over her, and Alicia is still crushing on Josh Hotz who is crushing back on her. They all agree to the boyfast with new bracelets as a symbol. The cafeteria has been remodeled and this throws Massie off but she still tries to assure her clique has table 18. It's here that Claire notices Cam and Olivia together as a couple. The school is overcrowded and Massie soon realizes that her secret room has been cleared out and used for a boys locker room. They come face to face with all of their exes and Massie and Derrington verbally battle it out. With the feud between the exes and the clique, as well as the boyfast, Alicia has to be extra sneaky to hang out with Josh. She's able to do this when she leaves the girls in order to do the lunchtime news report over the intercom. Alicia and Josh snoop in the folder meant for Principle Burns and realize that tables 1-10 will be moved to overflow accommodation. This doesn't work for Alicia and Josh as his group is at table 2 and her group is at 18. To avoid being separated, and to create an opportunity for Alicia to hang with Josh, they devise a plan. The next day Alicia does her report and heads to the lunch room. She purposefully pretends not to notice her clique at a different table where Massie is waving frantically. Instead, Alicia heads to table 18 where she pretends to act surprised when they boys are there and a few girls. The announcement comes and tables 1-10, including the clique, are ushered out. Not only is Massie furious that the boys took her table, but she's now been moved to overflow accommodation with the rest of the clique (sans Alicia) and a lot of LBRs. ALSO the overflow turns out to be old metal trailers parked in the back of the school. Claire is actually a bit relieved to be separated from Cam. While in the main building she endured health class with Cam and Olivia when she was paired with the two to work on taking care of an electronic baby that acted real. The girls wonder if Alicia purposefully pretended not to see them but nobody wants to believe it. Soon a news reporter shows up to do a story on the school taking in the boy students. Massie and the rest of the overflow students look really bad when they are stuck outside waiting for their teacher to unlock the trailers and a lightning storm hits and Layne and her friends wear garbage bags and sing in the rain. Inside, Alicia jumps at the chance to work her anchorwoman skills in front of the camera. She ends up saying that it was better for some of those kids to be out in overflow because then they wouldn't get picked on. She also says that Olivia and Cam make a cute couple when they appear behind her trying to tame their fake baby. Josh comes up behind her and says that they're not as cute as he and Alicia are though. Later that night Massie has the whole clique over to see how they appear on the news. Alicia is super nervous and when the segment starts it shows the unsafe trailers and the kids that were chosen to be in them. It makes Massie look like her friends are Layne and the others wearing trash bags and then the segment goes inside to where Alicia indicates that the kids in overflow don't fit in and now they won't get picked on. (note: lots of talk about being labeled "special"). It ends with Alicia talking about Cam and Olivia and Josh being flirty with Alicia. Lots of anger, talk of ruined reputations, and Alicia is kicked out of the NPC for violating the rules of the boyfast. Massie desperately tries to ensure she can bring back her "alpha status" so she enlists the help of a designer to remake the trailers. She also starts to develop a secret crush for Dempsey--a former "LBR" guy that is now attractive and also in the trailers. The new trailers are made to resemble Tiffany boxes and are amazing and Massie even goes a step further as to makeover the students in her trailer. Her plan starts to work and students in the main building become jealous of the overflow trailers and Massie's group. The news reporter shows up again to do a follow up story and Massie and her group are instantly back on top. When the segment airs, Alicia and her new group (the soccer boys, Olivia, and a couple "soccer stalkers" girls) watch and she misses her old friends more and more. A competition for best locker design is announced for a chance for other students to be in the trailers for the next semester due to the amount of parent calls saying it wasn't fair their child wasn't picked for the amazing trailers. Alicia tries to get back into the NPC and says she'll do anything. Massie says that she needs to get rid of the boys. At this time, Claire tried to make Cam jealous by flirting with Dempsey on camera and it seemed to work because he tries talking to her. She doesn't want him to like her only because he thinks another boy does so she walks away. At the end of the book, Alicia is asked to read the names of the locker winners and she takes the chance to name all of the exes and the other "LBR" names on the list. She's back in the group now that she sentenced the boys to overflow. Cam sends Claire a text saying he broke up with Olivia and wants her back and Massie sees the text. Instead of kicking Claire out, she takes all the bracelets back and says the boyfast is over and that they should use their 8th grade year to break a few hearts.

The Pretty Committee's worst nightmare came totally true. The Briarwood boys (due to the flood that destroyed their school) have been welcomed into OCD. Not only are they gross, but all the girls seem to pay more attention to them than the PC. It gets worse. The Briarwood boys need a soccer room. A.k.a, the PC's secret room! Dylan, Claire, Kristen, Massie and Alicia decide to start the NPC(the new pretty committee), a no boys group. Massie, Claire, Kristen, and Dylan are moved into hideous portables, while Alicia is secretly cuddling next to Josh Hotz. The NPC finds out and kick Alicia out! After a pep talk with a fashionista, the girls redecorate the portables to fabulous classrooms, in the form of Tiffany and Co. boxes! Everyone wants to be in the glamourous new portables, so OCD holds a raffle to see which students get to have classes in them. Massie uses it as payback and puts all of the NPC's boyish, manly ex-boyfriends in. Massie realizes she likes the new boy in school, and lets Alicia back in the group. Claire's dream came true when Cam realizes how much he needs her.

Summary- Massie and the PC don't get caught bursting pipes at her their brother school, Briarwood Academy for Boys, but karma catches up to them when they have to share they have to share their school with the boys, including their old boyfriends. They steal all the attention and envy towards the Pretty Committee and they feel suffocated. The PC decides to go on a boyfast and if you get caught with a boy, you will be kicked out of the PC forever. Alicia, the only one that didn't get humiliated by a guy in the last book, doesn't think it's fair because she is in love with a boy named Josh. She ends up being kicked out of the PC and the only way back in is if he gets the boys to go away. Since the school got way overcrowded, they had these trailers that the students could learn in. Alicia got the boys to stay in there and became a part of the PC again.

Main characters- Massie, Claire, Alicia, Dylan, and Kristen

Setting- School

Recommendation- I think this is the best Clique book so far so, I really recommend this book to anyone.

The one good thing about this book/series is that it is not repetitive, like the other books in same genré.
And dare I say it, a tad more believable. (Nod at Gossip Girl).

That being said, I don't know why do I even it pick up when its so not my cup of tea.

I like my girls badass-like. Totally-rocked-your-world, definitely-knows-it, but-doesn't-care type. The ones who have their priorities straightened up. You know what I mean. I like my heroines sassy, not Massie. :p

Regardless, I am gonna see this through. Because at the end of the day, one thing you can me for sure is an optimist.

So, here's to optimism.
