Next stop on the book tour is Rhode Island represented by Maureen Johnson's Devilish.
Jane is the school smart girl. She is not popular but is content with her social standing. Her best friend, Allison, on the other hand is desperate to be something more, but seems to be a walking social disaster. Like on the day seniors pick freshmen as littles, Ally ends up vomiting all over one of the freshmen.
Jane tries to help Ally recover from this, when a new girl, Lanalee, steps in and offers to be Ally's little. She just happens to be more than what she seems. Ally begins to change, act different and dress different, and Jane is worried what has come over he best friend.
Around the same time, a strange man, Mr. Fields, keeps bumping into Jane in town and striking up conversations with her. Jane is also being stalked by a freshman boy from St. Sebastian's, Owen.
Things take quite a turn for the weird when Ally tells Jane she has sold her soul to become popular. Jane, being the most awesome best friend, tries to fix it, only to get herself in trouble with the devil with a serious sweet tooth. Now only stalker boy, Owen, can help her out of this mess.
Devilish was a quick and entertaining read. I did enjoy the character of Jane, who would do anything for her best friend. Allison got on my nerves a little. She really can't see at times how much her best friend cares for her.
The whole Jane still pining over her ex. Elton, was an annoying means to end of a plot point. I did like Owen, but wish there was more of him in the book. I did feel as though the author left me hanging a little why he was the way he was (I would tell you, but that would be a big spoiler).
The end of the book felt like there should be just a few more chapters to wrap up all the unanswered questions, but overall a good read.
