-- A brand-new wardrobe from Saks
-- A private jet to Holland to select the perfect tulip
-- A guest list that rivals red-carpet after-parties
-- And a birthday bash that blows all others completely out of the water
Okay, it's not your average birthday wish list, but Whitney Blake and Sophie Mitchum are anything but average.
I'm Laura Finnegan -- thrift-store junkie and scholarship student at Tate, our posh all-girls high school in Manhattan. Needless to say, I'm not like Whit and Soph -- gorgeous, popular, and filthy rich -- but that doesn't stop us from being BFFs. Sophomore year was going great, until they started tuning in to the all-Sweet Sixteen, all-the-time channel. Now tempers are flaring, Prada bags are flying, and guys are being tossed around in vicious tug-of-war battles. All this, just to see whose Sweet Sixteen reigns supreme?
