Summary: Frankie was invisible her freshman year. But her sophomore year she was far from invisible.

It does not take Frankie long to find herself a senior Boyfriend, and become popular. But when Matthew starts excluding her from his "secret club" other wise known as the Bassetts.

Her criminal mastermind comes up with a plan to prank the school, through the club. Will this make her, or destroy her.

Personal Review: What a good book. From the very beginning to the end i could not put the book down. I could see why teenage girls would really enjoy this book, and really connect with Frankie and her feelings of wanting to be included. I don't know if men, or older women would enjoy it as much but i really liked it.

Warnings: Sexual references, crude language
