This book contains with examples

  • Abusive Parents: Laurel, her father is neglectful and abusive, her foster parents don't approved of her so they give up her so many times, and her foster father mentally, physically and sexually abused her.
  • All of the Other Reindeer: Laurel, Genova, three of the holmes siblings and the least popular kids were basically like this. Most of the student body constantly looked down on them due to being different. It's not easy to be in a affluent school like Lake Hills High School.
  • Alpha Bitch: Rebecca, Madeline, Melodie, Veronica & Francesa. Most of the book are bunch with mean popular girls, but subverted with Francesa, her status is more like a Academic Alpha Bitch, but she isn't very popular at all and she gets shunned by the student body for being bossy and nosy. Played with Rebecca, and Madeline in high school and Veronica in college.
  • The Beautiful Elite: The popular students of Lake Hills High school are presented and described as beautiful, rich, priviledge, awesome, talented and they're all that.
  • Brainy Brunette: There's a couple, Laurel, Alanna, Karolina, Cassie, and Vanessa. Averted with Rebecca, because she's appeared to be a total airhead, but her mind and her brain is in the right place.
  • Hate Sink: Hmmm, let's see Otis, Rebecca and Madeline.
    • Otis, for being horrible father to his daughter Laurel and constantly committing crimes to get over the death of his wife, such a scumbag move.
    • Rebecca for being a "Grade A" bitch, she's a horrendous snob, vapid, and a wealthy Alpha Bitch, however she does have soft moments, but this still doesn't get to the point of her for being a bitch. It's also subverted in the fourth season when she became pretty likable.
    • Madeline is definitely worse than Rebecca, she considers the outcasts are freaks, she's childish, classist and is a horrible human being. This girl has zero good qualities and was responsible for sending nude photos of Ximena to the entire school.
  • Rich Bitch: Madeline, Melodie and Rebecca, they're all rich and not very nice people.
