"Oh, I, m not your friend." My savior looked surprised. "It's just that this is MY school. I'm Maria Sweet -- Sugar. If you get bullied, it'll be when I say so."
When Kim has to transfer from her posh school to Ravendene Comprehensive, the notoriously violent local school, she's scared -- but then she meets Maria Sweet, better known as Sugar. Sugar is beautiful and wild, the queen bee of Ravendene, and Kim falls under her spell.
They're gorgeous party girls, envied and admired by everyone. But as Kim leaves her good-girl past far behind, she realizes she's falling in love -- with her best friend.

I really loved the book and the series. I watched the series before I read the book and although the story lines are quite different I enjoyed them both equally. It's an entertaining, amusing book with some serious moments thrown in but overall it's a light-hearted enjoyable book. :)
