This book, the first in a series, looks like a good fit for "Clique" fans looking for something similar. Just from the cover shot of Sloane Sisters by Anna Carey, you can tell this is going for the same demographic. From experience I know finding read-alikes for that oh-so-popular series is difficult because most of the fans are younger than YA (5th and 6th graders, trailing down to 4th graders!). You don't want to give them "Gossip Girl"!

"L.A. Candy," aka Dreck
If you haven't heard of The Hills I kind of envy you. It's a reality show about beautiful, twenty-somethings living in the tony hills of Los Angeles. While ostensibly a real peek at real lives, the joke is it seems awfully scripted (and I do mean "awfully"). In any case, you'll probably soon be aware of it as Lauren Conrad, one of the show's "stars" has written a YA novel, excerpted in "Teen Vogue," called L.A. Candy.
