Prom goes platinum! Mar 15, 2008
I loved Platinum Prom. As soon as I opened it, I couldn't stop reading it. It's about four rich girls who live in Beverly Hills and are planning their senior prom. But they're not just going to prom. They're competing with each other to win prom queen, and to throw the biggest post-prom party. The girls go wild and hire planners, stylists, and spare no expense on their designer dresses, custom limos, and after-parties that are bigger than weddings! The book is a countdown to prom and follows the group first to Saks to pick out prom dresses, then around Beverly Hills with their prom planners, then to Las Vegas for even more prom dress shopping, and of course to prom, where lots of awesome surprises happen.
The clique is Claire, April, Tawny, and Shayna. Claire's the tall, thin, beautiful blonde type, but she surprisingly isn't as self confident as she seems. She practically starves herself to fit into her tiny designer prom dress. April's the "old money," classic deb in the group, who has a big secret she's keeping from her friends. Tawny's the fun-loving beach bum who's like a guy magnet and attracts boys all over the world. Last there's Shayna, and she's the feisty brunette who's not as "perfect" as the others, and is always trying to keep up with them. It's very funny and some of the best scenes are with the girls going back and forth dissing each other.
I really recommend Platinum Prom and definitely give it five stars. It was a great time and so much fun, especially with prom coming up. Any girl in high school should check out Platinum Prom!

Highly recommended by A-List reader Mar 12, 2008
I read Gossip Girl and A-list, but when I found Platinum Prom, I thought it sounded really cool, and decided to try it. Turns out it was a non-stop page turner, and one of the best books I've read in a while. It's about a popular clique of rich girls in Beverly Hills who plan the prom of their lives and fight over dresses, boys, and winning prom queen.
The book is a countdown to senior prom, and just like My Super Sweet 16. Claire hires a big time wedding planner, April's dad arranges for a private Chanel runway fashion show of prom dresses, Tawny sends her personal stylist to NYC vintage shops, and Shayna gets a dress with real rubies and emeralds all over it.
I have to say Platinum Prom really surprised me, because I loved it as much as my favorite series A-List. The anticipation for prom night kept building up, and then delivered in a big way. But I also really enjoyed all the chapters leading up to prom, including their jetting off to Las Vegas to go dress shopping. I liked April the most, because she was the most glamorous and confident. It ended with a hint of a sequel, so I'll definitely be looking for that. I highly recommend this book, especially if you like Gossip Girl or It Girl or A-List. Also great for Clique and Meg Cabot fans too.
