About this audiobook
Who ever said being nice would get you to the top?
Certainly not Alexandra Miles. She isn’t nice, but she’s more than skilled at playing the part. She floats through the halls of Spencer High, effortlessly orchestrating the actions of everyone around her, making people bend to her whim without even noticing they’re doing it. She is the queen of Spencer High—and it’s time to make it official.
Alexandra has a goal, you see—Homecoming Queen. Her ambitions are far grander than her small town will allow, but Homecoming is just the first step to achieving total domination. So when peppy, popular Erin Hewett moves to town and seems to have a real shot at the crown, Alexandra has to take action.
With the help of her trusted friend Sam, she devises her most devious plot yet. She’ll introduce an unexpected third competitor into the mix, one whose meteoric rise—and devastating fall—will destroy Erin’s chances once and for all. Alexandra can run a scheme like this in her sleep. What could possibly go wrong?
Lara Deloza’s crackling depiction of a perpetually two-steps-ahead popular girl makes for a fun, wicked story with a protagonist that readers will love to hate.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Amanda is the kind of bitch that you sort of hate and love at the same time. In the end you don't really want something bad to happen to her.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Easy to read; informative; a quick summary on many different topics he attributes to "winning" in business
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Jack Welch is a very impressive leader who brought about very positive change and results during his time at GE. This book is an excellent collection of Welch's thoughts on business and leadership and whether your business is big or small, you are a CEO or a supervisor; you will benefit from reading this book.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I'm a big fan of Jack Welch's leadership and writings. I'm not sure most people have the charisma to actually pull off what he did. But, this book is full of good advice that you should reference as you move through your career.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A lot of great stories and great advice for getting ahead at any level of corporate life.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I listened to the audio book read by the author whose accent can be hard to understand sometimes. Some good insights. Much of it is cliched. Lots of lists in terms of 4 rules top do this, or three things to look out for. As always putting the suggestions in to practice is the challenge especially when most examples relate to big-big business
