YA
Bliss discovers her boyfriend and best friend hooking up in the limo. Rebel Jolene actually shows up to prom--in "freaking ruffles"--but her date doesn't. Sheeplike Meg is stood up, too, then recruited by the others for a night of hijinks and revenge. McDonald relies on stereotypes in molding the three characters, whose light, entertaining voices take turns narrating this wish-fulfillment adventure.
