The Clique Summer Collection: Massie

A book that I have read recently is from the series The Clique Summer Collection, it is the first book: Massie by Lisi Harrison. This book is about Massie's [the main character] summer. She is a spoiled girl from Westchester who, at the beginning of summer gets kicked out of the exclusive horseback riding camp she was at. She glued a girl to a saddle so that she couldn't fall off. Massie thinks that her parents will be understanding and just send her somewhere else with one of her other friends for the summer, but instead they make her get a job. She has never had a job before and thinks that it is torture until she gets a job with Be Pretty, a cosmetics brand. She is a sales rep and gets to go around and give makeovers to "people in need." Massie loves this job and especially loves telling girls how much they need the help of one of her makeovers. She thinks that the cosmetic line is all about just giving people makeovers. What Massie doesn’t realize is that this cosmetic line wants people to be pretty inside and out and feel good about themselves. This book shows how Massie changed from getting a summer job and realized that being pretty means being pretty on the inside and out.
