When carefree Zahra meets Kali and Syd in group counseling, she's surprised to learn that they all have the same deceitful boyfriend. Brokenhearted--and angry--they form Love, Inc., a consulting service for relationships, breakups, even revenge. Though too much is crammed into the story, it does raise some thoughtful questions. Sympathetic characters and an accessible writing style enhance the book.

With girls pitted against boys in a literacy fundraiser, Luisa Perez's inflammatory (and anonymous) column in the school paper garners attention. But for every girl-power article she writes, an anonymous guy fights back. Who is Luisa's nemesis...and is she dating him? Though the plot is implausible, Collins's sharp characterizations deserve commendation.
