Finished Some Girls Are by Courtney Summers.
This is one of those books about high school that gets high school totally right. (Because teenagers are mean, vicious little creatures and God help you if you cross them. This is actually the best argument for homeschooling ever and it's the one that never gets used.)
Regina used to be one of the popular girls but after a party, she finds herself frozen out. Because the other four girls in the clique are the most popular girls in school, pretty much literally the entire school now hates her. (And this isn't something like where you say, "Oh, everyone hates me" and you mean that really just one or two people hate you. This is pretty much literally everyone. There's a "Yourspace" group with hundreds of members and everything.)
Regina hasn't always been a good person (back when she was popular, she participated in a lot of horrible things) but what she faces--well, it's pretty horrible.
This is a really good book, but not recommended for anyone who says high school is the best years of your life.
