The List 
First of all, wow.This book was so.. what's the word.. Teenage! Suited me so much. It deserves my 4 stars! I wanted to know who wrote the list. If they didn't reveal who did I wouldn't have given it 4 stars.There were 2 girls for each grade. And eight girls on the list altogether. My favourite was probably Margo Gable. She was the prettiest senior. She used to be pals with Jennifer Briggis until they fell apart in eight grade. Now Jennifer has come back and now Margos chance for homecoming queen

Chronicle Conducive To Books The List
An intense look at the rules of high school attraction - and the price that's paid for them. It happens every year. A list is posted, and one girl from each grade is chosen as the prettiest, and another is chosen as the ugliest. Nobody knows who makes the list. It almost doesn't matter. The damage is done the minute it goes up. This is the story of eight girls, freshman to senior, "pretty" and "ugly." And it's also the story of how we see ourselves, and how other people see us, and the tangled connection of the two.Present Books Toward The List

So, I wanted to really, really like this book, but the ending was so abrupt that I just can't. Every year in this high school, a list comes out naming the prettiest and ugliest girls in each grade. The List deals with the fallout of this list over the next week. But is it really just over the course of one week?Being listed as the prettiest junior encourages one girl's budding eating disorder - which is also wreaking havoc on her relationship with her younger sister.
