Synopsis: Whether they joined the Yearbook Club or they were asked to participate by cranky school counselor, Mr. Crandall, the YC girls become fast friends. Kiki, Marnyke, Nishell, Sherise, and Tia are best friends forever. But all BFFs have their differences. Fights, jealousies, secret crushes-- introducing the gossipy girls of South Central High. Will shy Kiki ever move beyond the shadow of her popular twin? Can Nishell overcome an embarrassing secret? Will Sherise's relationship with Marnyke's ex cause trouble for everyone? Will Marnyke's deep loneliness lead to an unwise decision? And will Tia realize that driving ambition without friendship is hollow? All under 150-pages. Marnyke is a boy magnet. She's the flyest girl at South Central. So why does Darnell dump her before prom at the swanky San Marino Hotel? It's the talk of the school! But Marnyke won't be humiliated and hatches a plan to hook up with Brodey, a hot Spellman undergrad.
