I kept seeing the Mean Girls parallels as I was reading - the two really are astonishingly alike, but this book fills up the absence of clever irony with senseless melodrama and angst.

Since there is a gap of time in Shades of Gray (KGI #6) from the start of the book to the end, I figured it was the perfect time to catch up with Ethan and Rachel.
