Product Description A fiercely individualist Goth girl wakes up to discover that the whole world has gone Goth and she's actually -- gag -- popular.
Jade Leigh is a nonconformist who values individuality above all else. She has a small group of like-minded Goth friends who wear black, dabble in the dark arts, and thrive outside the norm. They're considered the "freaks" of their high school. But when Jade's smart mouth lands her in trouble -- again -- her principal decides to teach her a lesson she'll never forget.
Taken to a remote location where she is strapped down and sedated, Jade wakes up in an alternate universe where she rules the school. But her best friends won't talk to her, and the people she used to hate are all Goth. Only Clarik, the mysterious new boy in town, operates outside all the cliques. And only Mercedes, the Barbie clone Jade loathes, believes that Jade's stuck in a virtual reality game -- because she's stuck there, too, now living the life of a "freak." Together, they realize they might never get back to reality...and that even if they do, things might never be the same.
Reviews:
Bonnie Lynn (Canada) (2008/03/03): I absolutely loved this book! I am a huge fan of Gena Showalter's other books, and wasn't sure whether this teen novel would hold the same appeal. But the writing is fabulous, and the story line is gripping. The author keeps the emotions and situations of actual teenage life in mind with every page, and the romantic twist gave the book a sweetly accurate view of first loves and the importance of true friendship.
