Customer Reviews

A great sequel
Having very much enjoyed Frenemies, I was looking forward to reading the next installment in the series. Like its predecessor, Faketastic was a super light, amusing read.

The best part about the book is that it's fun to read. Ms. Alexa has a way of making even the most ridiculous things (People wearing Team Avalon shirts, for example. And people yelling "Team Halley!" in the halls.) seem funny and almost normal. Well, almost normal considering the setting. The Style Snarks posts definitely added to the whole fun to read thing, since those posts were amusing to read. Actually, the comments were more amusing to read than the blog posts. I am a little concerned, however, that as soon as those blog posts were posted there were 10 comments within 10 minutes. Do the people just sit at their computers refreshing the page until a new post shows up? Let's hope not.

I was hoping for some more background and development of Halley and Avalon's friendship, but because of all drama in the book I didn't get much of development. I feel like I still haven't been shown just how good of friends they are. I've been told, but not shown. Maybe some flashbacks or something would help? I don't know.

And I really liked the ending. For a while it felt like all the drama was kind of leading nowhere, but the ending made it all the drama worth it.

The Story Siren Reviews:
As much as I enjoyed the witty writing and candor of Young's Frenemies, Faketastic is a significant improvement to the series. Avalon and Halley have shed some of their childish nature and have successfully tackled more than the latest fashion trend. Alexa perfectly plays the plot and leaves the readers anxious for more of this fantabulous duo! Short and sweet review, for a short and sweet book!

Summary: Halley and Avalon are back together again (go Team Halvalon!), and rocking harder than ever. They've found a new place to host their snarky fashion column, Halley's crush, Wade, is showing interest in her, and Avalon's cheerleading team has teamed up with Halley's gymnastic team to work together in a cheerleading competition!

However, there are a few roadblocks. Wade's ex, Sofee, is friends with Halley, and Halley knows Sofee will be furious if she gets together with Wade. Avalon desperately wants to be captain of her cheerleading team, but the current captain, Brianna, is already suspicious.

Then comes the pair's brilliant plan. They'll pretend to get in a fight again (nobody will have anybody trouble believing that: Team Halley and Team Avalon shirts are still floating around), while actually supporting each other. Avalon will pretend to flirt with Wade in front of Sofee so that Sofee is mad at Avalon, and Halley is able to secretly see Wade. Halley will openly sabotage Brianna and then nominate Avalon for the new cheerleading captain (which will come as a total "surprise" to Avalon.

But there is a lot of trickery involved in the plan. Will they be able to pull it off?

My thoughts: I think the entire plot of the novel (the fake fight) is absolutely brilliant. Before reading Faketastic, I was afraid it would be a repeat of Frenemies: basically a fight between Halley and Avalon. I was impressed by the way Alexa Young put a spin to it.

I absolutely can't wait for Glamnesia to find out what fun and fabulous things happen next!
