I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I liked this book immediately, starting with the cover art work, attractive and definitely suggestive of what you will find between the covers. It is a book I can relate to well, because of the many enjoyable hours that I spend and have spent in school and university libraries. In this book, a very clever story line is developed. The new girl at school is going to be evaluated, judged, and then given a ranking on a hotness list. Her ranking creates the problem as the plot develops.That list will either be a curse or a nightmare, or a nightmare or a curse, or a blessing in disguise? It also creates tension, with a sense of uncertainty hanging in the air. This makes for pleasant and enjoyable reading. The question that comes up in my mind will be how the protagonist, Felicia Moore B.K.A. #15 FeFe the Hot Librarian, will manage to deal with everything that comes her way. I think of this plot / story line as a rebirth / quest type of story. It is clear that the person we meet at the beginning of the book will be changed, in a rebirth kind of way. The quest will be for self-discovery, to try to answer the question: "Who am I?" "What Am I?" All teenagers ultimately seek and find an answer to these questions.This teenager pleasing (young adult pleasing) novel is fast paced, well written and the kind of book I call a page turner. It will be impossible to put this book down once you start, so I suggest waiting for the weekend, so you won't be forced to stop reading...because life has its way of putting priorities on us.  Highly recommended.Reviewed by Thomas Jerome BakerAuthor ofThe International Baccalaureate
