Synopsis
Holly might be new, but she already knows who to watch out for: Jess Flynn, the most popular girl in year nine. Holly's best friend back in Melbourne, Calypso, says Jess is a liar, a shoplifter and a boyfriend-stealer. Calypso wants revenge for her ex-friend's betrayal, and Holly's only too happy to oblige.
But it's not proving easy to follow Calypso's plan and catch Jess out. And then there's the fact that as Holly gets to know her, Jess isn't fitting the terrible picture Calypso has painted of her.
Editorial Reviews
"JC Burke has ensured that Faking Sweet is the sort of read where you can’t help but get caught up in the drama." - The Courier Mail
"The honest accounts of teen bitchiness make for a humorous read…Girls 13 -16 will love this great story of friendship and being true to your own feelings." - Reading Time
"The author has captured perfectly the dialogue of adolescent girls along with their ability to fluctuate between bitchiness and tolerance in an instant. The plot is engaging and often funny, with ironic parallels between Shakespeare’s play and the girls’ lives." - Magpies
