Nice and Mean by Jessica Leader

Sachi is a very nice girl. In fact she was voted "nicest" in a poll. She doesn't care if she's not wearing the latest trends and she's a good student. On the other hand, Marina is the mean one. She is always wearing make up and she does wear the latest trends. Both girls decided to take video class, for different reasons. One the first day Sachi and Marina are forced to be partners and make a video together. They both have different ideas and different styles. Will sisters, friends, family and drama ruin their their video class experience?

I thought Nice and Mean was a great book. There was lot of drama in this book. Things that would really happen  in real life happened in this book, so it was realistic. I liked Sachi. She was really nice. I felt bad for her because her parents are really strict and all they care about is Sachi and her sisters getting a good education. She could never got to go out with friends and her parents didn't want her taking video in the first place! I also felt bad for Marina's "friends." She was really mean to them and she always wanted them to do things her way. I liked how this book went back and forth on the chapters. The first chapter is Marina talking and the next is Sachi. It went back and forth like that and I liked it because I saw both their points of view on different things. This is a great book!
