The Mosts
Cliques are a big deal in high school. The Mosts by Melissa Senate is all about the pecking order. Madeline Echols, Most Popular, finds out that her uberhot boyfriend is moving to California. Other boys then begin to show interest in her, including queen bee Caro’s crush, Sam. Will she be exiled to Not-land by her friends?
I am neutral towards The Mosts by Melissa Senate. I didn’t love it like I loved the movie Mean Girls, but I don’t hate it either. I thought The Mosts by Melissa Senate was one of those books where you read it, think oh that was a nice book and then move on with your life. It’s not really the type of book you form a bond with or an attachment to.
I didn’t really enjoy how the ‘mean girls’ were portrayed. I think there would have been a bigger impact if we saw some vulnerability, but all I saw was rudeness. There is the implicit feeling that one has to dislike Caro. However, despite this, I felt bad for her. How much would it suck to have your crush ‘like’ your best friend? In H.S. that would have been devastating. I know you move on and there will be others, but at the time it is a huge deal.
Now, I did like Madeline and what she does for the Nots. I think it takes courage to stand up to your friends and for what you believe in, especially during the teenage years. I also quite enjoyed the be the youest you you can be mantra. Maintaining one’s identity in high school is tough. I’d like to say it’s easy to be an individual, but it’s not. It’s good to see a book actually address this.
Disclosure: I received this book from the publisher for review.

If I was the most of something it would definitely be procastinator. I wait till the last minute to do everything. My family thinks I do that because I love the drama of running around the last minute. LOL!

Probably my "most" would be most sincere. That cruel kind of honesty that when people ask rather they´re pretty or late, you say "no" if that´s what you think LOL

Most quiet and social phobic. Lol I can stay hours without speaking and I hate doing the "normal" things like shopping (except for books) and partying. My friends have to practically drag me out of the house.

I think I would be the most lazy because I'm a mom and housewife and instead of doing chores, I sit and read all day. Thankfully hubby doesn't mind. Figures it'll get done tomorrow. I feed em, feed the dogs, make sure they have clean clothes, vacuum if I know company is coming.

I just asked my friend who was one of the "popular kids" when we were in school and I was just informed that they did this for everyone in school and they voted me most likely to be gay. lol Why doesn't that surprise me?
I would pick most obsessed with Halloween.

During my senior year I was voted "Most Likely to be found at a McDonald's Drive-Thru at 2:00 am" Haha! emilyjoymitchell(at)gmail(dot)com
I was voted for 'Most likely to pass the first round of American Idol.' Just glad I didn't get the 'Most likely to become a crossing guard' like my twin did.
If they didn't just choose randomly most of the time, I'd hope to be most musical or most happy. Something nice rather than cheesy!
Heard great things about "The Mosts". Thanks for the giveaway!
