Jinx Slater can do no wrong at Stagmount School for Girls in Brighton, England. She can even convince her best friend Liberty Lattife's father to let Liberty remain at Stagmount for previous transgressions. The only person that Jinx can't sweet talk is the house-mistress of their dorm. But Jinx and her friends have been able to get away with tormenting her and not getting in too serious of trouble. But after the start of term, Stella Fox, the new girl, arrives. Jinx and the rest of her friends know that Stella isn't all she seems to be. But Liberty has been trapped under her spell. Jinx knows someone that went to Stella's old school and contacts her while home on holiday to get the scoop. Stella didn't leave her old school the way she says. Now Jinx knows that Liberty is in way over her head. But Liberty doesn't want to believe Jinx, thinking Jinx is just jealous that she has a new friend. The story unfolds slowly with a lot of background information on their histories at Stagmount since this is the first book in the THOSE GIRLS series. But once Stella arrives, things begin to move along swiftly. Jinx and her friends form a strong bond and do everything they can to prevent Liberty from being led astray by the newcomer who isn't what she seems. Jinx is a strong character who becomes a pit-bull to defend her friend, even if her friend doesn't think she needs her protection. Jinx is a breath of fresh air in the normal boarding school genre, where the main character is usually out to get only what she wants for herself. She's not mean to be mean, but to be protective of her friends. I look forward to the next installment to see what hijinks the girls of Stagmount can get themselves into! Reviewed by: Jaglvr

Those Girls

This book was thoroughly enjoyable. I loved that the girls weren't all anorexics,and loved to eat. I don't think that the suggestion to buy the Chalet Girls with this book is a good idea,though. The two books are worlds apart,literally. I thought that the Chalet Girls was insipid and very unrealistic,while this book,Those Girls,was great! I don't see how the Chalet Girls could even be believable to a 12 or 13 yr old.

We all Know those girls!

If you like books like Gossip Girl,The A-List or Pretty little Liars, this book is sure to please. Its takes a group of girls in a UK school and lets us watch as they claw (or attempt to anyways) their way up the social ladder. Each character is unique and im sure with each character youll find yourself saying "Oh my god shes just like....." You wont want to put it down. Get ready for a cat fight because......we all know THOSE GIRLS!

Those Girls, Sara Lawrence

What a fun, breakout book from Sara Lawrence, with a laugh on almost every page. If this is what public school is like in the UK, then count me in for my next life. "Those Girls" know how to live it up and enjoy life! Each of the main characters is likeable and an exaggerated version of a girl we all know--or knew. I am already looking forward to the sequel... and the movie!
