Here I Go Again / Jen Lancaster / 308 pages

"High school girls are lethal.  We should send them to Afghanistan."  Lissy Ryder certainly was the first time around.  She was Prom Queen, head cheerleader, the mean girl, the b----.  'She was the richest and the prettiest, with the blondest hair, the thinnest thighs, and the hottest car, and she never let you forget it.  Nothing made her happier than stealing your boyfriend, just to see if she could."  Now twenty years later, she faces her high school reunion.  She's lost her job, her husband, and has gained weight due to her mom's coddling.  When Deva gives her a new age/ancient Incan concoction, she relives a portion of her senior year and attempts to right some of the wrongs she wrought.  When she does, she alters the future.  If she had any idea that changing her past would have impacted others, she'd never have done it.  This book is catty and irreverent and shockingly enjoyable.  If only all bullies could reform like Melissa Conor!
