Wiseman's first book inspired the movie Mean Girls, co-written with Tina Fey. According to Fey, Wiseman's YA novel is a must read: "Rosalind Wiseman once again writes with humor, compassion and accuracy about the high school experience.You can't put this book down... or it will talk about you while you're out of the room."
Here is what the blog Strollerderby had to say: "Centered around teenaged Charlie Healey’s attempts to escape one high school clique only to find the next stumbling block is boys . . . and frenemies who can’t be left behind . . . it’s a refreshing change from the recent trend in YA fare - a la Twilight."
