    In every high school there is the ruling class comprised of the best-looking and best-dressed girls and boys of the
    school.  At Ocean High it is no different, and mousy sixteen-year-old Winter wants to be a part of the posh social
    scene.  Along with her best-friend, Sloane, they dye their hair, buy a new wardrobe, and completely transform their
    appearances for the beginning of the new school year.

    Soon Sloane captures the attention of and becomes friends with Ocean High's A-listers: Jaci, Claire, and Holly.  
    However, even though she tries as hard as she can, Winter just can't seem to follow them up the social ladder.  As
    Sloane becomes more popular than ever, she completely ignores her former best-friend.  But is Winter going to
    accept being cast out like last year's fashions?  Of course not!  

    Winter becomes fixated on having revenge by blogging about all of Sloane's worst secrets.  But when the blog
    skyrockets to popularity, Winter begins to wonder: is blogging the secrets of your ex-best-friend the right thing to
    do?  Can't she just leave the whole popularity mess alone and enjoy the company of her cute new guy friend?  And
    what happens when this former best-friend finds about this blog?

    Fast, entertaining, and filled with mentions of celebrities and designer clothing, KISS & BLOG is a juicy novel
    perfect for fans of GOSSIP GIRL.  The captivating plot had me turning pages for hours, and I just couldn't get
    enough of the social scene of Ocean High.  KISS & BLOG is a definite winner!
