Not Actually Pretty

The Pretty Committee Strikes Back, a Clique Novel by Lisa Harrison
reviewed by Genavera

The Clique is back as strong and pretty as ever in their fifth novel, The Pretty Committee Strikes Back. The Octavian Country Day School is heading on their Presidents day class trip and the Clique is psyched, especially because their crushes from Briarwood Academy are going to be sleeping in cabins only yards away from theirs! Now that the boys are going to be staying so close, the clique, minus one ( Kristen couldn't afford the trip) decide to participate in Massies Underground Clinic for Kissing (M.U.C.K.). Things may sound like their going pretty smoothly until Alicia finds out her crush may be crushing on someone else, Dylan finds her mother kissing her history teacher, Yak, and Claire gets a brand new haircut and enemy. The Pretty Committee being perfect? Not so much.

I enjoyed this book a lot because it deals with the insecurities girls really feel and situations they are put in. It also has an ending that makes you want to read the next book in the series. Fans of the other Clique books will devour this book and want to read more.
