Three childhood friend reunite to attend prom together and, in the process of finding dates and dress, gain some insight into themselves.

Summary:
Nelson provides a fluffy but humorous exploration into the lives of three friends, Chloe an art geek with a admiration for Sylvia Plath, Laura the popular girl with the athletic football star boyfriend that she sleeps with more out of routine than affection and Jace the tomboy with the crush on the newly transfer star athlete with a secret of his own. Having grown apart through out their high school careers into separate and very different cliques, the three friends decide to make prom an evening to remember.

Teens will love this light and fluffy novel about the trials of high school and the idea that sometime friends grow up, and grow apart but that if they look hard enough they will remember the reasons they became friends. Throughout the novel each character is forced to deal with individual issues, and through that they learn that their friendship is still strong and that they can always depend on each other. In the process emerges quite a pleasurable read. An enjoyable book especially designed for the chick-lit generation. Some sexuality is discussed though out the book as well as some references to drug usage. However, this is hardly an edgy novel, and will fit in with most YA readers.
