"Faith Taylor is popular by association, thanks to her BFFs, Adria and Janelle. When a new website called SlamBook targets her school's popular kids, Faith gets sucked in. And when she discovers her own page on the site, she finds herself obsessing over the comments people are posting about her. Some are good, some are... not so good. Faith becomes determined to match the negative comments to the people, and begins to retaliate by posting negative comments of her own. Soon, Faith finds that people are talking about the comments she's leaving. Even though she does feel guilty, it's just so easy to be mean behind the anonymity of her laptop. But when her comments go too far, she realizes she must figure out a way to make things right before it's too late." --… (more)

Faith is friends with two of the popular girls at school but deep down she is insecure about her place in the social standings of her local high school. Then along comes a website called Slambook on which people can post anonymously comments about a particular person. The comments all start off positive but soon start to degenerate to the negative. Faith is so angry she decides to post her own negative comments. Others in her class start talking about the comments she leaves and Faith begins to realise that she may have done the wrong thing. How can she undo what's been done?

An interesting enough take on how things can get out of hand with social media that impact on friendships. The moral of the story being if you wouldn't say it to a person's face and own your comment - you shouldn't say it all. ( )
