The Rise and Fall of a 10th Grade Social Climber. Lauren Mechling and Laura Moser


Like ChickLit?
When Mimi Schulman goes to live with her dad in New York after her parents divorce, she tries to adjust to big city life again while attending an exclusive prep school. Looks are deceiving as the really popular crowd dress eccentrically and behave erratically also. Sam, a childhood friend, makes a bet with Mimi about whether she will be accepted to the “in group”, the Coolies. Mimi agrees to keep a diary and faithful records all the intrigues and secrets of her new friends while also becoming close to them.

When the diary gets posted to the Internet, Mimi suffers the shame and humiliation of having written those things but also real remorse for her actions. The teen experience is all here in this book: parties, clothes, language, and music presented with wit and humor.

Sequel “All Q, No A” is due out in June. Website at:
