I was very excited to read something from this author as the plot to this book sounded exciting.  Unfortunately, she needs a lot more experience and a lot  more skill as a writer.It was a slow start and I kept waiting for the pace to pick up but no luck.  I had to skip the last quarter of the book in order to keep from falling asleep.1.  Needs to work on character development.  None of the characters have depth.2.  Need to plot story and to work on tightening pacing and writing instead of using trivial and boring details (such as details on party decorations) to fulfill the word count requirement for a full length novel, (Junk writing to stretch the story from a single novel to series.3. Insipid main character.  Her best friend and roommate lies to her for 3 years about something extraordinarily important to her life and she thinks its okay.  Wow.  Personally, I would be angry.I do not recommend this particular book but I would like to see other books after Ms. Applegate takes some writing classes to hone her skills.
