Book Description

Series: The Sloane Sisters | Publication Date: April 28, 2009

Style. Sabotage. Sisterhood.

When Cate and Andie Sloane's Upper East Side dad met Stella and Lola Childs's British-model mom, nobody thought a transatlantic relationship would last. But then their parents drop the M-bomb—marriage—and it looks like Cate, Andie, Stella, and Lola are going to be one big happy family. Well, big anyway. Meet:

Cate Sloane: She dominates the ninth grade at exclusive Ashton Prep. Tantrum-prone and competitive, Cate would rather wear Laura Ashley every day than be second best at anything. Luckily there's not a rival in sight. Yet.

Andie Sloane: Twelve-year-old Andie desperately wants to walk the runway. Her face is flawless, and boys flock to her like love-struck sheep. There's just one leetle problem: She's only 4' 11". But with a new supermodel stepmom, she'll be voguing in no time. Right?

Stella Childs: With her take-charge attitude and a closet full of supermodel swag, Stella was the It Girl at her London middle school. She's determined to rule Ashton Prep—even if that means dethroning the current queen bee. Can you say British Invasion?

Lola Childs: London boys called gawky Lola "Sticks," but she's got a new mission in Manhattan: boyfriend or bust! With the help of her boy-magnet stepsister, Lola sets her sights on supercute Kyle Lewis. Too bad Kyle's only got eyes for . . . Andie.

This review is from: Sloane Sisters (The Sloane Sisters) (Paperback)

Sloane Sisters was such a cute book! I've been off the bandwagon when it comes to novels the likes of Gossip Girl, The Clique and books that are known for their catty drama! But I've recently started reading the new GG series and I must admit I am a fan. However, this series is geared more toward the younger set, like GG for your little sister, and I've attempted to read a series similar, The Ashleys... and I couldn't do it. I couldn't even finish the book. So, I was initially skeptical when I first heard about this series.

But I'm happy to report that this novel is beyond readable, it's even enjoyable. It's fun, witty, different and of course full-o-drama!

And the whole spin on the girls becoming sisters, was very different! It definitely made for some interesting drama. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this series and absolutely recommend it for tweens!

Plus it's pink. Growing up I was never a fan of pink, but now I have a slight obsession. Especially pink covers!

This review is from: Sloane Sisters (The Sloane Sisters) (Paperback)

This was a really great tween book. It had just enough drama and girl fights to really make the book good. I did have a problem with keeping the girls straight for some reason. About half way through the book I did finally keep Cate and Stella separated and figure out who they were. But even after finishing the book I am still having a hard time remembering Andie and Lola's characters. I think it is because all of the girls are so much alike. Cate and Stella are the fashion divas and want to be popular. While Andie and Lola are both the outcasts in each side of the family and want to be like their older sister.
Saying that I did think that this book was really good. It starts off with Stella and Lola moving to the US with their mom who is going to marry Cate and Andie's dad. You think they are going to get along at the beginning but then things change and it gets so bad that their parents wedding is called off. Only to have the girls come together for a very emotional and cute ending. This is a great read for any tween or adult.

The Sloane Sisters debut book was great. I found that it was full of family, fashion, love and drama that you hope for in a book about middle school girls. What makes it stand out is the witty writing and down to earth, well developed characters who are lovable even in their cattiest moments. I can not wait for the second book!
