(4) YA A rumor spreads around the Maroon Bells School for Girls: popular-girl Mary's boyfriend is cheating on her. Mary's best friend Peggy supports her amidst all the gossip, which heats up when the "other woman" appears. Based on the 1936 play The Women, this book is entertaining if not particularly juicy (except when describing aspiring-chef Peggy's food creations).
