Representaion Concering Books Art Geeks and Prom Queens
Being the new girl is tough, just ask sixteen-year-old Rio Jones. A New York transplant, Rio has no clue how she's going to fit in at her fancy new private school in Southern California. Plus, being late, overdressed, and named after a Duran Duran song doesn't make the first day any easier for her.Then Rio meets Kristi. Beautiful, rich, and a cheerleader, Kristi is the queen bee of Newport Beach. And Kristi isn't friends with just anyone, so Rio is thrilled when she's invited to be part of the most exclusive, popular clique. Of course, like any club, Kristi and her friends have rules: Always smile (even if you don't mean it), always dress cute (and never repeat outfits), and always flirt (but only with jocks, preps, and rich college guys).
At first Rio is having a great time, but as she becomes more immersed in this jet-set crowd, she figures out there is one last rule that her new friends forgot to mention: Don't cross Kristi . . .

When I was seventeen, I was given a gift card to B&N for Christmas. Id always loved to read, but had fallen out of the habit ever since Id hit high school at most, I was reading a few books per year. I just didnt seem to have enough time for it. But what eventually got me back into reading was that gift card, fifty dollars of pure sweetness. One of the books I ended up buying with my little slice of heaven was Alyson Noels Evermore. While I didnt exactly love it, seventeen-year-old me wasRio, named for her moms favorite Duran Duran hit, has moved from New York to a fancy private school in Southern California. Almost immediately she has to choose between the jet set popular kids and the art geeks she meets in AP art class. Though the novel is positive, it includes short references assuming casual acceptance of recreational marijuana use, drinking (with negative consequences), and a relatively graphic near rape.
Most of the way through I kept thinking I was reading the movie Mean Girls. It was strikingly similar, girl hangs out with a male and female pair of outcasts, then gets sucked into the popular girl crowd. She then finds out the popular crowd isn't so nice. It would have been a good story if it hadn't been done before. Also as of late I've been reading a lot of books that have a young female main character move to LA or SoCal, this particular book, the main character moved from NY to Orange
I am a big fan of Alyson Noel, So I was really looking forward to reading Art Geeks and Prom Queens - especially because it's not fantasy and paranormal like her other books I have read. I really enjoyed this book and the story was great and I couldn't put it down. If you like Meg Cabot then I would highly recommend this book. :]
New girl who starts off pretty smart and confident, but at her initiation into the popular clique, she fizzles to weak, bitchy and a complete follower.Irritating.There's no other way around reviewing Art Geeks and Prom Queens than getting nasty. Halfway through, I'd rolled my eyes a few times, wondering if I was reading a cheesy diary of someone who is actually in high school, giving writing a go.The tone of writing, the voice of the main character, all the brand name dropping and fancy living
A book that was perfect for listening to while trying to fall asleep. It did make me question my future in school administration. And why anybody would name their character, over the age of 10, Jen-Jen un-ironically is beyond me, it was an okay, at times infuriating, book.

Not everyone has to start over, to leave one place and go to another. New school, new house, no friends, and a mom who wants only what's "best" for her daughter.
