Book Reviews of Massie (The Clique Summer Collection #1)
Book Review: A fun, breezy summer read
Summary: 5 Stars
While trying to put seventh grade behind her --- and with her Pretty Committee friends spending their vacations elsewhere --- Massie Block has big summer plans of her own. As team captain of the Galwaugh Goddesses (aka the Galwaugh Girls) at the uber-exclusive Westchester sleepaway riding camp, Massie will do whatever it takes to come out on top. At stake: winning the sixth consecutive Galwaugh Farms Jump and Canter Competition.
To ensure victory --- and garner a cover shot on Horse & Rider magazine --- Massie comes up with a solution and bends the rules to the breaking point. But things get sticky after Massie's actions embarrass one of her teammates, and her plans slide downhill fast. After Massie's trick is upended, she is expelled from the prestigious riding school and sent home in disgrace.
Back at her parents' summer estate in Southampton, New York, she expects to find comfort in the form of sympathy and lots of retail therapy (aka shopping). But she is shocked by her parents' reaction. Rather than taking her side, they ground her. They also cancel her credit cards until she can find a way to reimburse them for the money they lost paying for the expensive camp. Massie realizes her parents are serious, and she must use her wits to find a way to earn enough money to repay them and get her credit cards reinstated.
Her solution? Find a summer job that will earn her lots of money, but a job that's fun --- more of a hobby than work. In Massie's words, a jobby. After she reads an ad for Be Pretty Cosmetics, she finds what she thinks is the perfect jobby. She embarks on a journey to transform wealthy plain Janes into Be Pretty gorgeous girls by selling them expensive cosmetics and beauty products.
Can Massie survive the summer with her jobby? Will she regain her parents' trust and respect? And will she ever get her credit cards back again? But more importantly, will she be able to get her hands on a pair of impossible-to-find, gold-framed D&G sunglasses?
In the designer-label, shop-till-you-drop world of Massie Block, she is the center of the universe. Like Massie, the first installment in The Clique Summer Collection is as shallow as the children's section of a swimming pool, but it's also wildly entertaining and wicked fun.

Summary of Massie (The Clique Summer Collection #1)
Massie gets BE-yoo-tiful: After Massie Block gets kicked off her high horse and out of her ultra exclusive Westchester riding camp, her parents force her to do the unthinkable-find a summer job. Not one for dog-walking or brat-sitting, Massie comes up with the ah-bvious solution: She'll be a sales rep for the cosmetics brand Be Pretty. Massie fully hearts her new role as fairy gawdmother of makeup-until she discovers transforming LBRs into glam-girls takes more than a swish of her royal purple mascara wand.Teens Books
