Some Girls Are

Some Girls Are is the second novel by Courtney Summers. It follows one of the school's most popular bullies as she falls suddenly to the bottom of the social structure.

Teaser
"Climbing to the top of the social ladder is hard—falling from it is even harder.  Regina Afton used to be a member of the Fearsome Fivesome, an all-girl clique both feared and revered by the students at Hallowell High... until vicious rumors about her—and her best friend's boyfriend—start going around.  Now Regina's been frozen out, and her ex-best friends are out for revenge.  If Regina were guilty, it would be one thing, but the rumors are far from the terrifying truth, and the bullying is getting more intense by the day.  She takes solace in the company of Michael Hayden, a misfit with a tragic past whom she herself used to bully.  Friendship doesn't come easily for these onetime enemies, and as Regina works hard to make amends for her past, she realizes Michael could be  more  than just a friend...if threats from the Fearsome Foursome don't break them both first."

Bans and Challenges
Some Girls Are was removed from a Charleston County, SC high school summer reading list in the fall of 2015 after a parent complained that the material was vulgar and inappropriate for high school students. In response to the ban, a book drive was organized that donated roughly one thousand copies to the Charleston County Public Library to be distributed to local students for free.
