Allnew girl Raye Archer wants is a way into the in crowd, so when ice-queenElla Parker picks her to get second at her ex, the gorgeous JulianKilgarry, Raye is more than game. Even if it means creating a fakeFacebook identity so she can take enough about Julian to weaken him.It's a fun and dangerous thrill at first, but Raye hadn't counted onfalling for Julian herself and igniting Ella's rage.

As Raye works toreconcile the temptress Elizabeth with her real-life self, Ella servesup her own revenge, creating an online smear campaign of nasty rumorsand trashy photographs. Suddenly notorious, Raye has to get a way outof the web of deceit that she's helped to build, and rear to therelationships that matter. Adele Griffin's riveting novel explores theissues of generation Facebook: the trust to be somebody else, realversus online friends, and the pitfalls and fallouts of posting yourpersonal life online for all the man to judgeAfter I understand what this volume is about, I wasn`t sure if I would wish it. Even when I was 20 pages in, I wasn`t sure if I would wish it. Adele Griffin knows how to write fluidly and uses quirky dialogue that you simply can`t help but like. The Julian Game was a fast paced book that I`m sure many people will enjoy. I wish the fact that this volume is so in line with social networking and how it is in this day in age. Online bullying is becoming more and more park and The Julian Game tells a report about only one of the ways it can occur.Something that was sort of unfortunate about this script was that the characters were stereotypical. Raye is the unpopular girl who will do anything to be in the popular crowd. She still goes as far as to attract a brutal prank on someone she likes. The friendship between Raye and her best friend Natalya is the kind of stereotypical friendship that everyone hopes for. Don`t get me wrong, people in actual life have these kind of friendships. Even though Raye kept blowing Natalya off for the popular girl that Natalya had warned her about, Natalya still completely forgives Raye. If it were me, I would at least be a bit hesitant when forgiving someone who had betrayed me in a way. Ella is just_ gross. She is the typical mean girl that everybody wants to be despite that nobody really likes her.I say this bible in a day, and loved it. It was addicting and I care how it is something that can refer to teens today.FTC- Received for review.
