Annotation: It is almost Ashley’s party and nothing is planned!
Summary: It's a month until Ashley's sweet 13 party and nothing is planned. Luckily, Mona will do everything. Then, Ashley finds out her mom is pregnant! Meanwhile, Lili is kind of pressured to go camping and A.A. has problems with her love like. Lauren might have something up her sleeve when Sadie, a loser and Lauren's friend, comes back to Miss Gamble's. Nothing feels right. Will all celebration be canceled or will the party go on? Will Lili's camping trip get her in trouble? And what does Lauren have in mind
Critique: This book is from four girl's point of view so you can see how they are feeling about each other and reasons why they ignore each other or are mad at each other. The downside of the novel was that Ashley was too conceit about herself so it wouldn't really be a good book. I really liked Ashley or A.A. because she is strong physically and mentally.
Biography: Melissa de la Cruz is the New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of many critically acclaimed and award-winning novels for teens including The Au Pairs series, the Blue Bloods series, the Ashleys series, the Angels on Sunset Boulevard series and the semi-autobiographical novel Fresh off the Boat.
