Lovely Vicious by Sara WolfIsis Blake is 17 and the new girl at school. She left her old school in Florida so she could take care of her mom who is suffering from depression and recovering from an abusive relationship. Isis isn’t upset that she had to move to Ohio, life in Florida wasn’t all that great. She was in love with one of the boys at her old school, but he broke her heart when he told her he would never love an ugly girl. Isis was also known as the fat girl back then. She lost 85 pounds and looks great now, but her self-esteem hasn’t healed.Jake Hunter is the guy that EVERY girl wants. He’s beautiful on the outside but the way he acts has earned him the nick name Ice Prince. He doesn’t talk to anyone, he rejects all the girls and he keeps really big secrets.WOW, WOW, WOW!! This book is unbelievable good. I say that because in all honesty I had a very hard time getting into it in the beginning, but a friend of mine who had also read it told me to stick with it, and I’m so glad I did. Isis is a bit of a character, she talks to herself and often she does this out loud so others can hear her and she’s very confrontational. She’s not very good at socializing. She is self-deprecating beyond measurement, it’s very sad. The deeper into the story I got, the more intrigued I was, I just couldn’t put it down. This story has mean girls, nice guys, unlikely friendships and OMG moments all over the place. I will warn you there is a bit of a cliff hanger, but I hear book two will be out early 2014. I felt this book is fantastic once I got through the beginning, I give it 5 stars.
