All You Never Wanted by Adele Griffin
I wasn't kidding with the title I gave this post. This really is a tale of two sisters, Alex and Thea. Alex is the blond, popular older sister, but, for some reason unknown to Thea, she has undergone a change recently. Thea is a year younger, and would do anything to be popular like her sister. She also has a crush on Alex's boyfriend. Basically, she wants to be Alex.
The girls' mother has recently remarried a go-zillionaire, so the girls have everything they could possibly want. Thea laps the wealth up, but Alex almost hates it. They live in a ginormous house in Greenwich, Connecticut, and they both drive brand new cars.
The book starts on Thursday. Alex is having a mental issue, and Thea is at school trying to worm her way into the popular crowd. Since their parents are out of town, Thea thinks it is a fine idea to throw a party. She thinks that if people can see where she lives, Camelot, that she will become popular. Alex just doesn't care.
All the events leading up to this party are told alternately by both sisters. We also get a glimpse of why Alex is acting the way she is. Interesting book.
