I got this book randomly from Delacorte a couple months back around the time of the book's release. Before this book, I had only read one book about debutantes, the aptly named "The Debutante" by Kathryn Williams. Hers was a funny take on the whole debutante world- an outsider looking in and begin forced to participate. This book, the first in a series, is more serious and focuses on the insiders' perspectives and their desires to be debutantes. But this isn't to say that the book is without humor- it's got humor throughout, but drama plays more of a role in the storyline than in "The Debutante". McBride's prose flows well and keeps the reader moving along; I really got invested in these characters and I enjoyed reading about them and hearing from each of their perspectives. I'm really excited for the second book in the series, which will be out in June 2009.
