Add to basketEight friends. One game. A dozen regrets. And a night that will ruin them all, in this high stakes gripping story of manipulation and innocence lost, from the author of Bleed Like Me.Chloe Sanders is ready for a change. She's tired of watching her best friend Eve turn away from her for the more interesting and popular Holly Reed, and tired of living with her grandparents while her parents volunteer overseas. Chloe spends her days crushing on a guy named Mateo, being mostly ignored by Eve and Holly, and wishing the cornfields of Iowa didn't feel so incredibly lonely.Then a new girl transfers to her high school-Chloe Donnelly. This Chloe is bold and arty and instantly placed on a pedestal by Eve and Holly. Now suddenly everyone is referring to Chloe Sanders as "Other Chloe" and she figures the only thing to do is go with it.Chloe Donnelly introduces all her friends to a dangerous game: a girls vs. guys challenge that only has one rule-obtain information by any means necessary. Chloe Donnelly's got power over everyone-secrets she's exploiting-and she uses it to keep them all playing. When the game turns nasty, soft-spoken Mateo chooses Other Chloe to help him expose everything Chloe Donnelly has done. But neither realize just how much the truth could cost them in the end.

Her parents left their small town in Iowa to do overseas volunteer work and Chloe is now living with her ultra-conservative grandparents. In addition, her best friend, Eve, has distanced herself and has made friends with another popular girl, Holly. As Chloe attempts to navigate through her junior year, a new girl, also named Chloe, arrives and bulldozes her way into Chloe's world. The new girl introduces the group to a game called Gestapo. It appears harmless at first, but in a game of boys against girls where "anything goes," the game quickly escalates. Secrets come out, and the ramifications are permanent. Chloe attempts to detach herself from the game, but the boy she really likes convinces her to play one last time to beat the new girl at her own game. However, the situation spirals out of control. The premise of the game is unusual, which keeps the story line fast paced and fluid. However, the beginning of the narrative is slow. The protagonist is a well-developed and believable character from the very beginning, but her friends seem two-dimensional. Teens might sometimes confuse one Chloe for the other. Once the game starts, the plot picks up and the characters click in place. The ending has the same issue as the beginning. It is slower paced, and readers might be slightly dissatisfied after the exciting character interaction that took place during the game. Overall, however, this book is entertaining, and many teens will be able to find at least one character to whom they can relate. VERDICT Recommended as general purchase for any library serving teens.-Jeni Tahaney, Summit.
