Publisher Comments:
Geena can't wait to spend summer vacation with her two best girls: her friend Amber and her cousin Hero. All three are working at the Triple Shot Betty coffee shop together, but the moment Amber and Hero meet, the claws come out. They hate each other on sight. Geena's dreams of a girl-bonding summer fl y out the window, and then threaten to disappear completely when a few cute (okay, drop-dead gorgeous) guys come along to woo the Bettys. But all is not what it seems, and in a story of mistaken identities, crazy summer high jinks, and enough romance to make Shakespeare proud, Geena and her friends learn that when Bettys unite, they can take on the most powerful force in their world: a hot guy.
Review:
"In first novelist Gehrman's inventive retelling of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, the setting is Sonoma, Calif., where Geena looks forward to a summer with her wild best friend, Amber, and prim cousin, Hero, who has just returned from boarding school. They do not automatically bond, as Geena had hoped, but when Hero and Amber become targets of a deceptive golden boy, they learn to depend on each other. There is plenty that is true to Shakespeare (including clever exchanges and a surfeit of romantic confusion), and the author has made some smart updates. The girls, for example, work together in a drive-through coffee shop; a subplot has Hero's good-girl reputation put in jeopardy when the supposed golden boy posts faked sexy pictures of her on MySpace. Readers may find the girls' revenge scheme a bit outrageous, but will root for them anyway, especially strong, skateboarding Geena, who, when her new boyfriend refuses to help, bravely tells him, 'Then you're no friend of mine.' Even those unfamiliar with the Elizabethan model will enjoy this savvy remake, with its traditional ending, where everyone gets exactly what they deserve. Ages 14 — up."

Confessions of a triple shot Betty tells the story of Geena,her friend Amber and her cousin Hero, who are working beside school in the coffee drive in store called Triple Shot Betty.
Amber and Hero are not really good friends in the beginning, Amber is a wild kind of girl, Hero is a posh girl who gooes to boarding school.
Hero is not allowed to date guys before senior year, but she really wants to go out with the Italian guy, Claudio.
When the girls are invited to a party of schoolmate John, things are walking out of hand...
I absolutely liked this book. It is about friendship, one of the best things to read about. There are a lot of characters in the book, but its never confusing. This is a perfect summer read. The end is just great, then the story is really at a peak!
