Fluffity fluff, and not in a bad way. Lexi is basically a Mary Sue of a character—she's the top student at school; she can sing; she's attractive; she's had a setback, but it was because she was sabotaged, not because she made a mistake—but I couldn't really bring myself to mind.
I picked this one up for the boarding-school element, but unfortunately it didn't really deliver there. That is, it's a really interesting setup for a school (intense classes for part of the year, and then classwork ramped waaaay down during the winter sports season), but because we don't see Lexi in class it sometimes feels like a winter sports camp instead; because her father lives on campus and is forever popping by her room or taking her out to dinner or whatever it sometimes feels as though she's still home. (I'm sure I noticed this primarily because boarding school is the reason I read the book in the first place, so take that for what it is.)
Either way...it's still fluffity fluff, and for that it'll do nicely.

This book is definitely one of those predictable books. There is the mean girl with her squad and her enemy which is the main character. However, I did kind of enjoy it. Overall, I would recommend this book to younger audiences, if you are over 13 years old you might find this a bit boring.
