 Mimi Shulman is the product of a broken home.  Well, that may be a bit dramatic but her parents are divorced and she is stuck living in Texas with her mother.  This will never do.  Mimi is a New Yorker and doesn't belong here in the south.  She convinces her parents to let her live with Dad in New York.  Enrolled in an exclusive school, Mimi bets a friend that she will make it to the top of the social order by the end of the school year.  And she is on her way to winning the bet.  The popular girls have accepted Mimi but something weird is happening.  Mimi finds that she actually likes these girls.  And she has been keeping a rather unflattering journal about them. What will happen when the journal leaks out on the Internet?
