YA
Dumped by her boyfriend, ditched by her best friend, and reassigned to the worst dorm at Winthrop Academy--Skylar's senior year is not off to a great start. But with help from her new dorm mates, she discovers a knack for event planning and challenges Winthrop's status quo. Skylar's transformation is somewhat implausible, but her triumph over the school's mean girls is satisfying.
