Boys R Us


Boys R Us
Lisi Harrison

Massie Block: After disbanding the Pretty Committee, Massie takes charge like Visa, forming OCD's hawtest clique yet: Massie and Crew. Even though money can't buy love, it can buy new friends... or at least model-actresses who will act like your besties until you get real ones. Lights, camera, MACtion!

Alicia Rivera: Hearts her new role as alpha of the SOul-M8s, BOCD's first ever boy - girl clique. But when the boys head back to the newly renovated Briarwood Academy, with the remaining Soul-M8s become 4Squares?

Dylan Marvil: Is happy times ten to finally have a crush who's crushing back, especially since they luh-v the same things: marshmallows, lip-kissing, and chugging Red Bull. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrp!

Kristen Gregory: Scored three goals on the soccer field last week- and Massie's crush... which earned her an ejection from her ex - BFF's hear. Can Massie forgive and forget, or is Kristen out of the game forever?

Claire Lyons: Has declared herself neutral in the battle of the cliques/ But dividing her time among Massie, the Soul-M8s, anc Cam has left her stretched thinner than extra-small Spanx. Can she get her friends to reunite, or will she be forced to pick a side once and for all?

The Clique... the only thing harder than getting in, is staying in.

First of all the last line, the slogan, is very cliche'. Just saying. Okay.... I was really bored with this book. In the beginning it was alright, with it going fast pace and thing getting revealed, but afterwards it just went down hill from there. The story was only mildly interesting, and i think it's one of Lisi Harrison weakest performances. I had to debate whether it was worth, actually finishing it halfway through, but i did. I did think the PC (pretty committee) and MAC (massie and crew) was a pretty cool thing, because the cliques hated each other, and so do the computers... but besides that most of the character are really shallow. I mean who hires friends?!?

This book i probably wouldn't recommend for some people, but some, like I, have started reading the series, and feel that they should remain faithful. But it you haven't read the series, or don't feel that commitment, i would say don't read this one. But i would recommend this series, to younger kids, in the older elementary grades, or early middle school.
