Antisocial by Jillian Blake

Anna has split up with her boyfriend and basketball star over the Christmas break and no, he gave her no reason for the split.

We also learn Anna suffers with Anxiety and so her social phobia doesn't help the issue around high school clique's.
Add into the mix that her friends - whom she hasn't hung out with or kept up to date with - are now ignoring or just putting up with her coming back to them.

There's also the matter of kind, goofy Jethro whom Anna has nearly had a thing with twice. She totally hasn't admitted she likes him and has kept denying it. Yet when he helps her out at a party, it seems there's a lot of feeling still there!

Next, there's the small matter of a serious social media leakage of people's most private stuff online they though was theirs alone.
People's internet history, messages, photo's etc end up being the talk of the school and cause many relationship issues among the friends. Anna and her group seem to think it's the work of Haven, a jock who's known for doing and sharing things for a kick but this is extreme even for him they agree, so they need to learn who's doing it and stop them.

The book is super important in this day and age of technology growing constantly and the pressures of social media, social acceptance and the fact it can take it's toll and also bring out the worse side of people. It also shows in the book how it can endanger future education and job offers as pictures are out there for the world to see.

If you like The Clique book series and TV shows, Gossip Girl and 90210, I'm sure you'll enjoy this like I have!

Thanks to the publishers for allowing me a copy to review for them!
