I wasn't really a fan of the book That's What's Up!, because some of the characters were just crazy and and did stupid things. That's What's Up! is a realistic fiction book that is about this cheer competition that everyone in the whole entire school is going to during spring break. Mina is a cheerleader that agrees a truce with her arch-rival Jessica to satisfy Jessica's twin sister, Sara, one of Mina's friends. Jessica invites Mina to this a-list hangout and takes a picture of Craig, Mina's ex-boyfriend, kissing Mina. Mina shouldn't of trusted Jessica because Jessica later sends the photo out to everyone including Mina's boyfriend, Bryan.
Mina is part of a so called "Clique", and the girls in her clique do some crazy things. Cinny gets hit by her ex-boyfriend that she has been hooking up with and gives him a second chance. Kelly reunites with Angel when she finds out that he gave up selling drugs to be with her, later they get stopped by the police and Angel forces Kelly to hold the drugs for him. Also Lizzie, Cinny, and Kelly all sneak off with the boys to go to the cheer competition, which gives them "Upper" credit. The girls in That's What's Up!, don't follow their first instincts or logic and find themselves in sticky situations. Other characters in the book might think they are brave and daring but they are really just not thinking of the consequences waiting to happen. The girls think that their spring break is ruined because they couldn't go to the competition; when their lives would have turned out better if they stayed home. Well there is always room for second changes...
