Second Skin by Jessica Wollman

For Sam Klein, having to go through a school day being unnoticed was a normal thing. Popularity was something she only dreamed she could have but cheer leading and sports just weren't her style. She read every magazine and memorized every article but absolutely nothing worked. All of that changed when the most popular girl in school moved in right next door. Her name was Kylie and she had everything she ever wanted. She was co-captain of the pep-squad, had tons of friends, and her boyfriend was the hottest guy in school. Could all the popularity just be natural or was it caused by something the world has never known? Sam was to soon find out...

I really liked this book! I think I liked it so much because it expressed more of what really happens in High School. It really described what actually happened along the lines of drama and feelings of the characters. I especially liked the part towards the end when Sam decides to give the Skin back to Kylie because she doesn't want it anymore and Kylie decides that she doesn't want it either because she likes the way her life is without the Skin. I would recommend this book to anyone that enjoys books with a moral value along with some funny sarcastic characters.
