About this ebook

Dorks, Dweebs, Debutantes, and Jocks—Where would you fit in?

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 . . . in Alyson Noël's Art Geeks and Prom Queens.

Ratings and reviews

I loved Alyson Noel's Immortal's series so I thought I would try a different one of her novels. BIG MISTAKE!!! This book was stereotyped and very predictible. I knew exactly what was gonna happen. I have to admit Rio is a fun character and all, but everyone else sucked. Don't read it

Social status is everything in Rio's new school in California. She is a new girl, trying to find her clique. She is happy when the popular cheerleader Kristi invites her into their group, but still struggles with the social milieu and feels like she does not have real friends at her school.

This book was so unput downalbe I loved every bit of it and now I need more to read.
