I was about 1/4 of the way through this when I realized it was a YA book, which I usually don't read. Then my first reaction was to clutch my pearls and fan myself, because I can't believe that THIS is a Young Adult book. Back in my day, when we had to walk 5 miles to school uphill both ways, you had to steal your mother's paperbacks to read smutty sex stuff. It was surely frowned upon to write books FOR teens that were all about smutty sex. Alas, times have changed.

To be fair, there wasn't really a lot of detail and the heroine of the piece is a beautiful, brainy virgin. But the book was about spoiled, wealthy Beverly Hills kids who do nothing but abuse substances and randomly hump each other. It's like a Jackie Collins novel with younger people and better dialogue - fun, but complete trash. So of course I enjoyed it, but if I had a teenage daughter I wouldn‰ÃƒÂ›Ã‚ªt be suggesting that she read it. ( )

In Zoey Dean's realistic fiction novel, The A-List, Anna Percy decides to jet off to New York to L.A. to get away from her perfect image. Her life is completely changed around in a mere 24 hours. She meets Ben Birnbaum on a airplane who she may or may not love, attends an Oscar winners wedding on the arm of Ben Birnbaum, and visits an after-hours back-lot party on New Years Eve. After all the new and thrilling stuff Anna experiences in L.A., things slowly start to go downhill. Ben leaves her stranded on a dock, completely heart broken, and her dad is treating her more like a friend than a daughter. In the end will she rekindle the relationship she had with her dad or the boy she thinks she's in love with, Ben.

Zoey deans Novel the-list is like any other teenage book. Kids fall in love and either try stay together or fall apart. What the author did that was quite confusing was she keep switching point of views. Every chapter it switched off from Anna to Sam. It was very contemplating because Anna was the main character, and Sam doesn't have much influence in the story except she wants Ben to herself. I recommend the A-list for 8th graders because there's some foul language. The novel overall was very interesting.

This was much better than The Clique. I'd recommend it for those who enjoy Gossip Girl or Pretty Little Liars. ( )

The A-List is what one would call a guilty pleasure. I first read it sometime shortly after high school, and remembered liking it a lot – why I didn’t pick up the second book at the time, I have no excuse for except that maybe it was because I wasn’t TOO much into reading then. (Got in trouble a lot my first year for reading in class, so.. I stopped reading…) However, I re-read it last week and I cannot wait to get the second, third, fourth, and 5-10th book/s. In fact, I can’t wait so much I spent two of my Mooch points mooching the 2nd & 3rd books (sadly, there is no sign of the 4th book!).

If you manage to get into The A-List, at 256 pages, it turns into a very fast fun read. The plot is somewhat unique, and the characters are somewhat cliche. You have Anna who is the typical good girl, tired of her good girl life, so she sets off for LA, which I’m guessing she expects won’t be so.. good girlish. And then you have Cammie who is the typical get-in-my-way-and-i’ll-eat you bad girl, Sam and Dee who are the slightly ditsy following of Cammie, who are also ‘bad girls’ BUT with a conscious. Then of course, you can’t have a bad-ass chick book without something to fight over, which is where Ben comes in: The very typical good guy, who might be a bad boy, but he’s just really the misunderstood boy.

There isn’t really much you can say about The A-List without giving too much away, but if you liked The O.C, Gossip Girl or just Catty girl fights, then chances are you’ll love this book. And even if you didn’t like those shows (I certainly didn’t), then you might just like it anyway! ( )
