In a word Some Girls Are was mean. There is no nice way to describe this book, it was spiteful, vindictive and at times really scary. Regina, one of the most popular girls at school, finds herself frozen out by her friends as rumours go around about her and her best friends boyfriend. The other girls make her life hell, punishing her for what she's supposed to have done. The truth though is so much worse; although Regina is really not a nice girl she's not to blame this time. 
 Michael Hayden is just about the only person in school who will give Regina the time of day despite the fact that she worked hard to ruin him the moment he set foot in the school for the first time. She has nobody but him, and even she can't guarantee he really wants to be her friend. 
 Some people have likened this book to the film Mean Girls but everything takes place on a much bigger scale than that. The way Regina is treated is terrifying at times, there were moments when I felt physically sick reading this book. Regina was a horrible girl, she'd bullied so many students during her time at the school yet I couldn't help feeling sorry for her. Although she wasn't nice the situation she was in really wasn't her fault. This book is a must read, it really puts bullying into perspective and shows you the kind of things that can and unfortunately do happen. 
 The only reason I gave this book a 4 star rating was because of the end. Throughout the book tension had been building up and I honestly thought something huge was going to happen. But in the end although one of the characters did take action all the tension seemed to diffuse, I suppose you could say it was a bit of an anticlimax. This was a shame because the rest of the book really was brilliant.
