Plot:
At Long Island's private Bennington School, the Diamonds rule supreme. Fortunately for Marni, she's best friends with ringleader Clarissa, and enjoys all the spoils of the ultrapopular. But then Marni gets a little too close to Clarissa's ex-boyfriend, Anderson. Wrong move. The Diamonds don't touch each other's exes. And just like that, Marni is jettisoned from Diamond to lower than Cubic Zirconia. But Marni isn't about to take her ouster lying down. She has dirt on the Diamonds, and she's not about to go down without a fight. Everyone knows the only thing strong enough to cut a Diamond is another Diamond.
Review:
Throughout this book I enjoyed the fact that the main character (Marni) has been popular throughout high school and is not one of those whiny teens hoping for nothing else but popularity like in most other books of this sort. She already owns popularity. Honestly, a lot of points in this book really reminded me of the movie “Mean Girls” but in a good way. If I were to guess, I may even suspect that that is where the author got some of his inspiration for the book. There are many similar parts. I also liked how the Diamonds do most of their dirty work within one of the school’s after school clubs rather than on their own time. This story does not revolve around how the popular girls play pitiful tricks against each other outside of school like in a lot of other novels like this. It’s interesting how the author created a way for the girls to actually rule the school in a way that made sense and was believable. Overall I think The Diamonds is probably my favorite book of its kind and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun teen drama.
4.0
