In middle school, nothing is more important than friendship.
When Truly is invited to sit at the Popular Table with the group she has dreamed of joining, she can hardly believe her luck. Everyone seems so nice, so kind to one another. But all is not as it seems with her new friends, and soon she's caught in a maelstrom of lies, misunderstandings, accusations and counter-accusations, all happening very publicly in the relentless, hyperconnected social media world from which there is no escape.
Six eighth-graders, four girls and two boys, struggle to understand and process their fractured glimples into one another's lives as they find new ways to disconnect, but also to connect, in Rachel Vail's richest and most searching book.

Gr 6–9—When Truly is invited to the popular table by her former best friend, Natasha, she is excited to finally get a chance at the "in" crowd. Unsure if she is really accepted by them, she worries about doing and saying the wrong thing. Popular Natasha is torn between being a good friend to Truly and being jealous of the attention that she gets. Meanwhile, Hazel, Truly's current best friend, who is decidedly unpopular and anti-popularity, is hurt and angry at being abandoned by her friend. She seeks revenge by hacking into all of Truly's online accounts. The addition of social media amplifies each snub, misunderstanding, and deliberate meanness. Although the characters' interactions may, at first glance seem melodramatic, it is a realistic portrayal of middle school life. Truly is depicted as a complex young adult, not a single-minded social climber, while Natasha's mean streak is the obvious product of questionable parenting. The other characters are multidimensional; they have struggles and worries, and are not the flat, stereotypical popular kids that are sometimes portrayed YA novels. As these young people navigate the already awkward world of middle school, the fact that accusations, rumors, and lies are made public for the world to see make adolescent mistakes much more grave. A solid choice that will ignite meaningful discussion.—Patricia Feriano, Our Lady of Mercy School, Potomac, MD

"Hearkens back to Vail’s wonderful The Friendship Ring series in its opportunity to see how various characters delight, suffer, and rationalize, complicating the portrayals. . .

What I'd Tell My Middle-School Self
By Sarah Ross
I've loved Rachel Vail books since I was a teenager, and even now several years later I find her insights just as achingly true. The hilarious and hideous realities of middle school, of being a girl who wants to be good, clever, fun, and popular and who finds that sometimes those things aren't compatible, are all -- as usual -- perfectly rendered. Mostly I loved this because it takes how it *feels* to be a young woman seriously, and it looks at the great ways social media helps your life, and the many ways it makes it so much more complicated. Great gift for sisters, cousins, and those other girls in your life who you want to encourage to be the best, most compassionate version of themselves.

Great read about friendships and the dynamics of "mean girls"
By Kelli Nash
Unfriended was a great read. It really took me back, way back, to my own middle school years. That feeling of not fitting in, and so desperately wanting to, is something that's hard to forget.
So it was with great empathy that I understood Truly's situation. On a whim, one of the popular girls invites her to sit at their table for lunch. Truly turns her back on her best friend Hazel to join the "it" crowd. And Hazel doesn't really take the rejection well.
What follows is a story of friendship, both real and imagined, bullying, and redemption. I liked the way Vail resolved the conflict and felt that Unfriended accurately portrayed the friendship dynamics of middle school.
Unfriended was a fast read, and is not to be missed. One of my favorite lines from the book comes towards the end when Natasha says to her mother:
"'You make me hate myself, and then it's like, all I am is hate. All I have, all I can put out there into the world is hate.'" --- Unfriended, page 269
When I read that passage, I found myself tearing up. This is why girls can be so mean to each other. It all comes from their own damaged self-esteem, and often stems from their relationships with their mothers. It was a powerful realization, especially for a middle grade novel.
I really enjoyed Unfriended and would definitely recommend it.
