Just when you think you know where the story is headed, it makes a u-turn. Jade and Mercedes, arch enemies who used to be best friends, find their roles reversed. The only constant in this upside down scenario seems to be a boy named Clarik who Jade has very strong feelings for in this alternate reality. Following her and Mercedes as they figure out what happened and how to fix things makes for a fun read, but there's yet another twist near the end, one that forces Jade to make a scary and fateful decision. Read the book and find out for yourself. ( )

Very enjoyable highschool-theme book with a sci-fi twist that spiced things up!

Oh my goth, this book is good.
Great plot, great message: Stop all the hating. Erase the boundaries we create to separate us from people.
Enough said.

This was a very good quick read. Jade is a Goth girl in a sea of Barbies. While she has never been popular, she does have a great group of best friends. Two years ago Jade and her mother were in a terrible car accident. Her mother died, but Jade will never forget her last words about the importance of being your own person. Unfortunately being her own person isn't going over that well at school. Jade gets in trouble and ends up being sent into a virtual reality world to be taught a lesson, along with her worst enemy Miranda. In this world everything is reversed, Jade is popular and Miranda is an outcast. For a little while Jade slips into the dream of being popular and all of it's positives, but in the end, she remembers her mothers words and learns to be true to herself. While this may be Jade's book, it seems like Miranda learns the bigger lesson. Jade is a great character who is incredibly engaging and keeps the pace of the book going. ( )
