This is the third in a series about three best friends growing up in present-day London and its surroundings. They use their cell phones, computers, and an assortment of technology with ease, but are saddled with the age-old problems of parents, boys, clothes, school and friends. They just want to have a good time, have a boyfriend and friends. Nesta meets the perfect guy, who seems to have it all: looks, personality and lots of money. He also has a sarcastic sister who accompanies him with her friends. Nesta knows she is out of her league but strives to compete anyway. The author nails the teenage dialogue and British slang.
