The book follows the points of view of eight different girls at their high school, Mount Washington High, after the posting of the annual tradition: a list that names the prettiest and ugliest girls in each grade. And while it did do that, it fell flat in its delivery for me. When I started reading it, I had really high hopes that it would put an interesting take on high school, and how the labels that kids give themselves and each other affect their lives.
