aprilbooksandwine's review against another edition
4.0
Let's face it, high schoolers can be real assholes. Not all of course, but with the pressure to be in, sometimes the only way of being cool is by bringing others down. Girl on the Other Side by Deborah Kerbel is a short, gut-punch of a book featuring the intertwining of characters Lora Froggett and Tabby Freeman, two girls who lead drastically different lives. Tabby is basically a queen bee, think Mean Girls. Lora is a social outcast.

Girl on the Other Side is a really powerful novel about two girls on opposite sides of the social spectrum. One is a social pariah, and the other is the daughter of the richest family in the town and thus, the most popular girl in school. This book reminds readers that no matter where someone fits in the social ladder of high school, they're thoughts and feelings might not always be what they seem. The sad, but hopeful ending will touch readers of all ages.
