Most of the second half of the book is when Lee is a senior and in her senior year, she does some pretty stupid stuff. She's interviewed for the New York Times about her school and pretty much trashes it, so now everyone's mad at her.
Her best friend Martha becomes prefect and can't even be happy for her, which I don't get because I would be happy for my friends. In the book, this is what it said when Martha became prefect:
"My fear of what was to come next - her giddy disbelief, the welling nakedness of her feelings. Also how I might have to reassure her that she did deserve this. Or worst of all - that maybe she'd just be happy."
I don't understand Lee. To me, this make her a horrible friend. She doesn't want her best friend to be happy because she herself isn't happy. She also felt Martha didn't deserve it and that some girl Aspeth did just because Aspeth was basically the popular girl everyone knew?? It's so sad because she doesn't even like Aspeth.
Also, on her math final, she doesn't even bother doing it and Martha ends up doing it which she hates to do.
Something finally happens between her and her crush, Cross Sugarman who she's crushed on since freshman year...but I don't want to spoil it.
I just really don't like Lee so it makes it really hard for me to like this book.
This book reminded me of another book called Revenge of the Wannabes by Lisi Harrison so for anyone who liked Prep or is interested in it, you might want to read this book too.

Hey Annalise! I finished Prep as my first book already. You didn't like Lee? I didn't really like her too, but I felt kinda bad for her because she wasn't really sure about her place and the type of person she was. The book was kinda confusing to me because it sometimes jumps from her in the present to her at Ault (in the past). This book does kinda remind me of the Clique books. I read some of them and it's about teenage girls going through life and school too. Since you didn't really like this book, I hope that you'll like the next book you read! <3
