Massie Block: The Briarwood boys have invaded OCD and are taking over everything. Worse, the soccer boys have become so popular that the Pretty Committee's alpha status is in serious jeopardy. So Massie lays out a New Year-New Pretty Committee rule: Anyone caught crushing on a boy will be thrown out of the NPC-forever. But will she be able to follow her own decree when she sees that Derrington has ditched his shorts-obsession in favor of ah-dorable jeans?

Alicia Rivera: Is the opposite of onboard with the boyfast. Her crush, the Ralph Lauren-luh-ving Josh Hotz, is more irresistible than crème brûlée fro-yo. But is he worth losing her spot in the NPC? And taking on the wrath of Massie?

Dylan Marvil: Is so ready for the boyfast. She's straightened her unruly red hair and permanently pressed boys out of her life. If only she could do the same with curly fries and caramel popcorn.

Kristen Gregory: Has traded her sporty-chic Pumas for Billabong board shorts and a shark tooth necklace. She claims she's sworn off boy-crushes, so what's with her Blue Crush makeover?

Claire Lyons: Spent all summer thinking about Cam's one blue eye and one green eye. But now he's moved on to a new girl faster than you can say cuh-yutest couple. At least Claire finally has a secure spot in the NPC-unless jealousy-flirting breaks the boyfast. . . .

The Clique: The only thing harder than getting in is staying in.

=D
I LOVE these books! In my opinion, this is the best book in the whole series. This book takes place the fall at the beginning of the Pretty Committee's 8th grade school year, AFTER the Summer Collection books take place. Bratfest at Tiffany's was released first, so I read it and then the Summer Collection, however I see no reason why you couldn't read the Summer Collection first. It explains a LOT of things that you may not have understood (such as Massie's purple streak, or Kristen's shark tooth necklace, for example).

This book is a great read and I highly recommend it.

FYI, If you would like to buy the Summer Collection, I suggest you buy the box set, as it comes with a jewelry box, makeup bag, and five tubes of Glossip Girl, Massie's favorite! =D

Bratfest At Tiffany's:WOW
The book "Bratfest At Tiffany's" is not the best book of the Clique Series. True, it is quite funny but I feel that the plot is not as much related to the troubles the clique goes through as most of the other books. I feel that it revolves too much around the transformation of the trailers. If you want a good Clique book, I would recomend either "Dial L for Loser" or "Invasion of the Boy Snatchers". Thank You for reading!

Petty, Superficial yet oh so addidictive
This review isn't just made for the Clique series but to all the Poppy books. I prefer reading Poppy novels than reading The Da Vinci Code or Angels & Demons (which are so serious for my taste). I'am a straight guy and I'm proud to say that I love these kind of books.
Now let's get back to the Clique. Honestly, Bratfest at Tiffany's is the only Clique book I bought so far and it wasn't really confusing. At first I thought that I missed a lot of the books so I might get lost or something but strangely I didn't. There are things that still bugs me (like what happened in the Sealed with a Diss novel that made the boys hate the PC) but I still understood the storyline main storyline of The Bratfest at Tiffany's. The Clique novels rocks and finally it will have a movie. I can't wait.
Please amazon.com can you tell me when the Clique DVD movie will be released. Thanks.
you know you love me,
gossip guy

Light and fluffy, the perfect summer read
The Pretty Committee is back and ready to become the alphas of the eighth grade. OCD --- that is, Octavian Country Day --- had better be ready.

Except that OCD is no more. It has been replaced by BOCD. The local boys' school, Briarwood, has joined forces with OCD because their school has flooded. Massie and her girls are worried that the boys will automatically become the school's new alphas just because the OCD girls will be too boy crazy for them not to. So Massie devises a plan: the Pretty Committee will become the New Pretty Committee, and she, Dylan, Kristen, Alicia and Claire pledge to be on a boyfast all year. They will let no boy tear them away from the more important things in life --- fashion, beauty, and each other. Massie even has Tiffany's charm bracelets made for each NPC member so they won't forget their pledge.

However, staying away from boys is harder than it sounds --- especially for Alicia and Claire. Alicia has a crush on Josh, who likes her back, and Claire can't figure out how to make her ex, Cam, jealous without it looking like she's interested in him.

To make matters worse, BOCD just isn't big enough to hold everyone from two schools. So a handful of students are sent to the "overflow trailers," yucky portables that function as one-room schoolhouses, keeping Massie, Dylan, Kristen and Claire (but not Alicia!) away from the rest of the school. Leave it to the NPC to find a way to make over not only the trailers, but the undesirable students who cohabitate them.

BRATFEST AT TIFFANY'S is another clever Clique novel, with accented dialogue (Massie's "Oh my Gawd" begins to get on your nerves, but it's cutely inserted into every word with that vowel sound) and trademark insult-questions ("Do you work for an American Airlines counter?"/"No"/"Then why are you checking our bags?"). Although not as re-readable as the beginning of the series was (the NPC, even if revamped, just doesn't seem to be growing), this ninth installment is perfect for a quick beach read.

Great!
This book was really good. Although it was unrealistic, it was Fan-Tastic! The Pretty Committee starts their 8th grade year and decides to keep boys out of the picture. Of course, one of the members of The PC decides to break the law. In order to get back in, she has to do something. This book is really good and is a great addition to the series!

An Intriguing Book
In the book Bratfest at Tiffany's Lisi Harrison did a good job of making it so it wasn't boring. The book was about how Massie had made up a rule that they couldn't flirt with boys for the year which was called the boyfast but it wasn't going very well at all. There were too many people in the school (they called them the overflow) and they didn't have enough room for them so at the beginning of the year they had a trailer that they put a bunch of kids in. The principle would teach them and the pretty committee was assigned to be in there and they weren't very happy about that because they were with the LBR's (losers beyond repair) and they didn't want to be known as one of them and were determined to change it as soon as possible.
I thought that it was funny how some of the girls thought that they could keep secrets from the rest of them. Also how Massie thinks that she could keep the boyfest and accepted the rest to do the same. I liked the book and I would recommend it. It is a good book for people who like drama but I think that it is a good book.

Eighth Grade changes everything
For the pretty committee, eighth grade is a living nightmare. After the pool accident at Briarwood academy the boys are forced to attend Octavian Country Day school with the girls. Massie feels betrayed, the boys are the new alpha and everyone but the pretty committee worships them, so Massie comes up with an idea/rule that all of the members of the pretty committee must follow; The pretty committee is now the new pretty committee, and that means that anyone who is caught crushing on a boy gets the boot. This is especially hard for Massie's beta; Alicia Rivera who is absolutely and completely in love with Josh hotz, who likes her just as much as she likes him. Josh and Alicia come up with a plan to stop Massie from realizing their togetherness. Of course, being the alpha that she is Massie sees right through it, and Alicia gets kicked out of the NPC. In the end Massie drops the ban on boys and welcomes Alicia back to the PC after some major mooching on Alicia's part!
