The Debs: Love, Lies, and Texas Dips
by Susan McBride
Delacourte Press, 2009
293 pages
Think Mean Girls with a Texas swagger and a Houston drawl. The storyline follows four debutantes as they prepare to be Rosebuds--the creme de la creme of Houston's country club set.
There's Jo Lynn, spoiled, pampered, beautiful, cunning, and two-faced. Jo Lynn--the girl with an eye for designer duds and Vera Wang dresses. Jo Lynn--the girl with the perfect quarterback boyfriend who dreams of quarterbacking at Texas Tech.
There's Mac, the nice girl.
There's Laura, the girl who always has to be second best to Miss Perfect, Jo Lynn.
There's Ginger, granddaughter of one of the staunchest debs in memory. Ginger--who has to maintain the family name.
The drama unfolds as the girls prepare to be presented at the event of Houston society: The Rosebud Ball.
What happens when false rumors are posted on myspace? Will someone have to step down?
Girls who love gossip and drama will love this read. It's like Gossip Girl, Texas style.
As a good ol' Texas girl myself, I enjoyed looking at how the uber-wealthy live.
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR MIDDLE SCHOOL. Recommended for grades 10-12.
