This book is about Nikki's first year at WCD. It talks about her struggles to find new friends. She first wants to become friends with Mackenzie Hollister (the most popular girl and school) but then she realizes that she is a vain girl. Along the way, she meets Chloe and Zoey and becomes friends with them. Towards the end of the book, she enters an art show but, her art piece is ruined the day of the art show. Her friends secretly create a new art piece that wins first prize. I like this book because of the drama in it and the story. It is a really good book. I recommend it to anyone!
