Massie, Claire, and the rest of the Pretty Committee head to Lake Placid for a school survival retreat. But forget building fires and pitching tents—the real survival test comes in the form of new crushes, competitive cabin drama, and major friendship shake-ups. Can the girls survive a week without lip gloss, designer shoes, and total social contro
I think this is the best book of the series, it's the most creative, and far less annoying than any of the other books. I would recommend these books to younger girls, as I've gotten older I've started to like them less.
Going to put the same review for all the Clique books (unless I already reviewed them). These books are about a group of awful girls that I would hate to meet - and yet they're oddly addicting. So yes, I read all of them despite the fact that the girls were horrible.
In this continuation of the Clique series, Massie and the girls are going up to Lake Placid for Presidents Day weekend. The perfect spot for Massies kissing clinic-M.U.C.K..But is Massie in over her head when it comes to kissing? She puts her popularity and her reputation on the line to get that first kiss.
This was a good link in the series, I liked the new setting instead of the same old OCD school. Great surprise at the end that made me run out and get the next one right away.

Their Baaaaccck! When the Pretty Commitee goes to camp, they find out that they have to be going with BOYS FROM BRIARWOOD. but, as always, they cannot interact with them after dark. So that gives the challenge. They deliberate on clothing, they then get other people to pack for them. So when they find out that they are all sharing the same cabin with some of their friends, no problems are that bad compared to: hiking, running, training. What will make it all end? Boys, of course. Derrington is trying to hook up with Massie, and Claire and CAm broke up for a little bit. So, when Claire sneaks into his cabin as a boy, they make up until Cam sneaks into her cabin as a GIRL, which is pretty hilarious. BUt, will both relationships last?

This book is about The Clique girls; Massie, Kristen, Dylan, Alicia, and Claire. They go on a class trip to Lake Placid, but there is more the Briarwood Boys are going there too. Massie's Underground Clinic for Kissing is where the girls are going to learn how to kiss the boys.

There are a several main characters but the main character is Massie. I chose Massie because she is the leader of the clique. She changed throughout out the book because she said she already got her first kiss and teaching some others girls how to kiss, in her MUCK ( Massie's Underground Clinic for Kissing) She hasn't gotten her first kiss, so she has to learn from Claire on how to kiss.
What I think about Massie is that she knows when to do stuff and show more knows how to be sneaky and has nice clothes(=

Something that reminds me of my life was going to retreat with the boys in my class, but we didn't have that kissing stuff.
Something I didn't like was that Kristen couldn't go because she couldn't afford it.
I would recommend this book to girls who like drama and girl situations and who could relate to the book.
Who would play the main character, it would be Massie.

This was a really good collection to the series. It was about the group of girls who went on the lake placid trip to makeup with their boyfriends and friends.

First words
The thick, breathy smell of the artifical heat that blasted from the classroom's radiators made Massie Block's head pound. And the more her nature-loving geography teacher droned on about the Earth's serface and how it deter... (show all)mines the flow of a river, the worse her headache got.
