The Clique series

The Clique is an American young adult novel series written by Lisi Harrison and was originally published by Little, Brown and Company, a subsidiary of the Hachette Group, but got reprinted by Poppy books. The series revolves around five girls: Massie Block, Alicia Rivera, Dylan Marvil, Claire Lyons, and Kristen Gregory collectively make up The Pretty Committee, an A-Lister clique at the fictional, all-girls middle school, Octavian Country Day, or as Massie likes to call it, OCD. The fifth girl, Claire Lyons, is a misfit from Orlando, Florida. She shops at stores like Wal-Mart and Target and has no clue what life in Westchester is like and what is expected of her there. Massie is the head of the clique, and likes to dress in Juicy Couture, Louis Vuitton, and Miu Miu, while Claire, a newcomer to the area, is initially considered an outcast due to her financial and fashion status. As the series progresses, Claire slowly develops a friendship with Massie, realizing that she must earn her friendship, and eventually becomes a member of the group. She soon finds out though, life in The Pretty Committee isn't all what it's cracked up to be...
