Art Geeks and Prom Queens by Alyson Noël
5.0
Alyson Noel is definitely one of my guilty pleasure authors. I've been reading her books for years and I have loved everything she's written. I've probably read this book 5 or 6 times now and I still enjoy it.
This book is about Rio (named after a Duran Duran song, not Brazil) who is uprooted from her life in New York and moved to California. Rio starts to quickly realize how different things are in California, from the way people dress, act, and how different the schools are. She sees herself as more of a photography nerd so when the most popular girl in school takes an interest in her she decides to try and ditch her geeky ways to become cool. When a bad incident happens at a party, she realizes how hard it is to fit in with the popular girls and realizes how mean they really are, Rio decides to stay true to herself while also taking down the mean girl.
I secretly love books about high school drama, especially ones like this. I don't know if it's because I've been out of high school for awhile but I never see myself growing tired of reading this book. I love Alyson Noel's writing style and I love how she portrays all of her characters. You honestly feel like you're in the book with them, the books are so detailed and relatable.
