The Debs are back!
Now that her dream of becoming a deb is finally coming true, Laura’s confidence is at an all-time high. But when she dares to mess with Jo Lynn’s football star boyfriend, Dillon, Laura finds herself at the center of some heinous gossip.
As predicted, becoming a deb is a shallow undertaking that Mac can barely muddle through. Still, things go from bad to worse when the new girl at school starts working her charms on Mac’s best friend, Alex. When Ginger’s grandmother asks her to sit for a formal portrait with the son of a local legend, she discovers that she already knows him—and what she knows isn’t good.
The stakes are raised for Jo Lynn when she finds Laura’s digits in Dillon’s cell phone. Is her boyfriend cheating on her with a debu-tank? She will soon find out.
The second installment is definitely a lot more juicier! A piece of deb-a-licious anyone? I know, lame... Love, Lies and Texas Dips was a step up from the first novel and I devoured the Debs... so you know L,L&TD must be good!
The Deb-web gets even more tangled! I seriously don’t know how Jo Lynn finds the time to make Laura’s life a living hell, I mean I know it’s only fiction, but my gosh! The girl needs to get a hobby or something. I really hope she gets what’s coming to her, because she is plain E.V.I.L! I have no soft spot for the girl at all. McBride’s characters are right on, awesomely developed. Expertly depicted.
The writing is fantastic as well, I sat down to read this one and the next think I knew I was finished. I was completely engrossed. It was fast and it was fun! A perfect summer read! Can’t wait to read the next Debs installment!
