Dumped by Popular Demand

Dorie Dilts is about to move from California to New Jersey, and instead of seeing this as the worst thing to happen to her in her 13 years, Dorie sees this as a great opportunity--an opportunity to reinvent herself as one of the popular crowd, that is. When she arrives at her new school, she immediately sets out to determine who is the most popular and how they got that way. She quickly deduces it's a group of girls whom she dubs the Holly Trinity. And the one thing that connects them is their shared experience of having gone out with and been dumped by the arrogant Grant Braddish.

My daughter and I are reading this together. We are enjoying it. She doesn't care about school popularity, but has been ignored and put down by those in her dance company who think they are above her. So we laugh at the girl in the story who is so self absorbed she doesn't even know the face of the girl she borrows pencils from.

... and so glad you are reading it together. Dorie was such a fun character to write. I loved every minute of it. You are right. The popular girls leave a lot to be desired but it takes Dorie a while to figure that out despite the fact that she is so smart. Hope you will read book 2 together and let me know what you think.
