First Review The Ashleys by Melissa De La Cruz

The Ashleys
Melissa De La Cruz


Theres a new name in school

Three girls called The Ashleys run Miss Gamble's Preparatory School for Girls. They set the rules, the way to dress, latest trends, everything. Lauren Page has been in school with them for her whole life. And shes had enough. She used be a loser. But now that her father has made millions with his new website shes changed. And she has a new makeover to prove it. Though Lauren has a plan. A plan to invade the Ashleys and take them down. But can she do it?

The Ashleys is very much like The Clique by Lisi Harrison. Although in my opinion better. Told in alternating chapters between the three Ashleys and Lauren you get the full story between them. I enjoyed the story Immensely. There were times where i thought it was unrealistic but i found it a very fun read. i dont usually enjoy stories like that (i.e Gossip Girl, The Clique). Also it was a bit predictable at times but good all the same.
i give it 3 out of 5 stars.


Characters:
Ashley Spencer: the "top dog" or head Ashley at Miss Gamble's Preparatory School for Girls. The only one of the Ashleys who doesnt have to use a nickname. NO ONE defys Ashley Spencer.
Ashley "A.A" Alioto: nicknamed A.A she is more of a tomboy with a retired super model mom. A.A is known as the nicest Ashley.
Ashley "LiLi" Li: nicknamed LiLi. Lili is usually more on the jealous side of Ashley Spencer. She would do anything to have Ashley Spencers approval and hates second place.
Lauren Page: Lauren just earned a fortune. On the outside she is no longer the loser she once was. On the inside she might still be the same. shes desperate to become an Ashley and then bring them down.
