YA
Frankie has gotten into trouble one too many times, and now her life has become a cliché: she's being sent to military school. The classes are challenging, the physical training is preposterous, and there's almost no time for her true passion of fashion blogging. Unsurprisingly, Frankie marches on and finds her inner strength (as well as a gorgeous guy) in this predictable yet entertaining chick-lit novel.

Shallow mean girl Blake is determined to win the Pretty App's (a photo-sharing app) nationwide beauty contest, in which teen girls vote and finalists land on a reality show. Things quickly turn ugly, and Blake confronts some hard truths about image, beauty, and her relationships. Underdeveloped characters make it hard to care about the (predictable) outcome, but the timely concept will interest teens.

YA
Hacker Audrey discovers a secret in the buyPhone, enabling her to create an app that emits a frequency stimulating desire. Mayhem ensues at school as her Boyfriend App gains popularity. But soon the attention becomes unwanted when Public, the corporation behind buyPhone, realizes what Audrey has done. The interesting (if unbelievable) concept suffers from the book's plot holes.
