The List by Siobhan Vivian review by Emmy






An intense look at the rules of high school attraction -- and the price that's paid for them.


It happens every year. A list is posted, and one girl from each grade is chosen as the prettiest, and another is chosen as the ugliest. Nobody knows who makes the list. It almost doesn't matter. The damage is done the minute it goes up.

This is the story of eight girls, freshman to senior, "pretty" and "ugly." And it's also the story of how we see ourselves, and how other people see us, and the tangled connection of the two.

Oohkay. Um.
I loved this while I was reading it and afterwards for a while but... Eek... I forgot what happened! Everything apart from a girl called Sarah didn't shower for ages, a homeschooled girl got prettiest, there was a girl called bridgit or Candace with an eating disorder who got ugliest and her little sister got prettiest, and Danielle's boyfriend Andrew was a jerk. I really wish I could review this properly,but I have no time to reread it, and seriously, this was a very good book, I remember that I thought it was amazing at the time, but now I've just forgotten most of it. :() guess the zombies in Warm Bodies ate my brains??? Sorry guys, I really wanted to be able to write a good review.
Perhaps I can reread it someday, but not in near future.
