I've heard of this series from my friends, and i'm doubting if i should get it? i've done some searching and i didn't expect there was a movie about it already. was it good? i'm not a picky reader, i read everything i can get my hands on... btw.

anyways, i noticed there's no thread for it, so here's some info about the characters (from wiki)

* Massie Block is the alpha (leading) member of her group of friends (known collectively as the "Pretty Committee"). This clique is at the head of the 'food chain' at their prestigious private school. She is very spoiled (her parents are millionaires) and is usually very snobbish, but she has a vulnerable side that shows up to the reader when she is under pressure-but only to the reader. Massie never lets on to anyone that she sometimes isn't as confident as she appears. She's known for her wardrobe (designer labels), her quick wit, and her desire to shine above everyone.

* Alicia Rivera is Massie's best friend, which gives her "beta" (second-in-command) status in the Pretty Committee. Alicia's family is even wealthier than Massie's, but her personality doesn't quite shine like Massie's does. Alicia is also a bit kinder in nature than Massie, but tends to be a gossip. Alicia is also known for her wardrobe (heavily influenced by Ralph Lauren), and for her exotic beauty (her mother is an internationally-known Spanish model).

* Dylan Marvil is the Pretty Committee's source to the showbiz world, for her mother is famous talk show host for a television show called The Daily Grind. Dylan is bubbly and talkative. Her trademarks are her fiery red hair, her brightly colored style, and her obsession with her weight. (She has tried various fat diets, but does not stick to any of them for very long).

* Kristen Gregory is an all-star soccer player at school. However, she is by no means a tomboy. She is a fan of designer clothes, but she cannot afford them as her father, a former rich art dealer, lost his money prior to the series' inception. Kristen is highly intelligent, attending OCD on a full scholarship, and is considered to be beautiful with her long blond hair. Her trademarks are playing word games, being athletic and avoiding being caught by her parents.

* Claire Lyons moved from Orlando, Florida to Westchester, New York. Her dad was good friends with Massie's dad in college. So, the Lyons are living in Massie's guest house. Claire's family is not rich and privileged like the other girls, so she has a hard time adjusting. She is known for her individualism, her non-designer style, and her tenacity.

I see it's like those "fitting in high society" thing...
