After 9 and 10 going back to the EXTREME difficulty and the 8-bit graphic, Capcom decided to show Mighty No. 9 how it SHOULD be done.
The Double Gear system changes things up. One Gear allows you to slow time down, great for precision jumps. The other Powers up your weapons, like the X-Buster upgrade in the X series. Makes me wonder why they didn't make Mega Man X9(CAPCOM!!!!!!). The stages are twice as long as normal, so that is actually really cool. And the boss fights are VERY diverse, so much so going into the first one, you think the others will be similar, but they aren't... which isn't a BAD thing. But it mimics the changes in the boss fights from X8(CAPCOM!!!!!!!!!!)
Mega Man 11 rekindles my love for the core series, but MAKES ME WANT MEGA MAN X9 THAT MUCH MORE!!!!
And it scratch the itch.

Overall, the book is enjoyable in a simple, YA, guilty read way. It's not going to win any literary awards, but if you enjoy books about privileged kids, boarding schools or volatile relationship dynamics you will like this read. Although it is fiction, sometimes I am astounded by the level of debauchery surrounding these students.
The first book, It Girl, introduces us to the large cast of characters. New girl, Jenny, who is looking to reinvent herself. Junior class prefect, Brett, who seems to have it all together. Privileged princess, Callie, who thinks appearances are everything. True it-girl, Tinsley, who is the puppet-master of Waverly. As well as all their girlfriends and the rotating batch of potential boyfriends.
School seems perfect - the guy she has her eye on seems to be crushing back, her roommates seem great and she's been invited to join the advanced art class. What could go wrong? {{spoiler}}Tinsley returns to school and is none too happy about the new girl in her bed.
