About this listen
Prettiest or ugliest, once you're on the list, you'll never be the same.
It happens every September – the list is posted all over school.
Two girls are picked from each year. One is named the prettiest, one the ugliest.
The girls who are picked become the centre of attention. The girls who aren't are quickly forgotten.
Through the eyes of eight very different girls, THE LIST captures the high school experience with all the struggles of identity, self-esteem, and judgements.
Whether they’re on the list or not, things will never be the same.
What readers are saying about THE LIST
‘THIS BOOK MADE ME FEEL ALL THE THINGS…Raw and heartwrenching and authentic. I really feel like this is a book that any young girl struggling with her looks should read.’
‘I was awed at how Siobhan Vivian was able to weave this intricate story that involves some pretty harsh realities with a right amount of levity to keep me captivated.’
‘The storyline that the author has flawlessly created and that gripped me throughout.’
Critic Reviews
- ‘Vivian explodes the beauty myth in a page-turning whodunit that reveals the wars waged every day between girls and their images in mirrors.’ —E. Lockhart, author of WE WERE LIARS.
- ‘Siobhan Vivian is funny and sharp, and she nails the little details and big truths that matter.’ —Maureen Johnson, Queen of Teen 2012.
- Offering a well-differentiated cast of complex characters and a thoughtful focus on femininity, sisterhood, relationships, eating disorders, and what it means to be singled out, Vivian proves that beauty and ugliness aren't always a matter of appearance.” – PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, starred review
- ‘Smart, snappy writing.’ – NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW
