Beauty and the Geek?

Revenge of the Homecoming Queen
Stephanie Hale

Aspen Brooks is spoiled and conceited, not exactly the traits we all would like to have. She thinks that she’s better than everyone else and the ground on which she walks should be worshiped. Unfortunately, for her, not everyone is on that same radar.

Its suppose to be the best day of her life, she’d been looking forward to it since before her birth, but Aspen Brooks’ day just goes from bad to worst in a number of hours. She isn’t crowned homecoming queen, her tire gets slashed, her inhaler gets stolen, causing her to have a near death experience, AND like there’s anything left that could have gone wrong, it was Rand Bachrach, the school’s GEEK, whom came to her rescue.

Of course Aspen blames all her bad luck on her enemy, Angel Ives, but Angel isn’t turning up anywhere. Actually, she is nowhere to be found. Was she was kidnapped, Aspen thinks differently. But when more mysterious events continually trail after Aspen’s every step, even she starts of have second thoughts. Someone must be out to get her, but who and why? With those unanswered questions lingering in the air, Comfort High’s Beauty and Geek pull a Nancy Drew as they partner up to solve the mystery of all times.

I thought this book was going to be predictable. I figured it would be about a prep that can’t stand to have a hair out of place. She and her enemy would have an on-going war. You know typical high school drama. Thankfully, I was wrong. This just goes to prove that I shouldn’t be judging books by their cover in the first place.

Revenge of the Homecoming Queen turned out to be very insightful. I picked up the life lesson Stephanie Hale successfully gets across to the reader. Everyone is/was created Equal; no one is higher on the Food Chain than anyone else. I would recommend this book to all the Aspen Brooks in the world, you know who you are, and well, to just everyone else.
