Ok ok I realize it's been an insane amount of time since I actually read this book, but I've been busy and haven't had time to write a review. Let me just say-it was amazing, but at parts it kind of dragged on and on, which is why it only got 4 instead of 5 stars. I felt like the concept was exceptional, but the execution was a tiny bit off. However, overall very good. It's about friendship, fitting in, and destroying evil. Jess Parker is used to moving constantly, but still hasnt made any friends after moving to Mt. Sterling, the town where her grandmother lives and works. Jess and her mom are currently living in Mrs. Parker's childhood home and there is a strong basis of family (especially with Jess's grandmother) which I really enjoyed. The only thing that has gotten her through all these moves is cheerleading. Jess has always been exceptional at cheering and has made it on the varsity squad at most schools, including Mt. Sterling High. However, when she swoops in and steals the spot of the meanest girl in school, Lexy, she's in for it. One day, she discovers a purple envelope in her bag that invites her to the Grind, the local coffeeshop and IT crowd hangout, that afternoon. The instructions are clear that she is to wear the little silver pin in the shape of a shoe that was also in the envelope. She soon gets initiated into the Cinderella Society who's goal is to help the Reggies (regular people) defend themselves against the Wickeds (Lexy's group of people). However, it's not all glitz, glam, and makeovers for the Cindys-they are in for an all out war...
