Blah

Cynthia Voigt's Bad, Badder, Baddest had cover hype that told the biggest lie I've ever read.  (In a cover blurb.)  One of the bad girls wasn't bad at all, one suffered from poor impulse control and the normal human desire for excitement, and the third was so tangential to the story she never even got to be a "point of view" character.

So, no--the girls weren't even bad, let alone badder etc.  But the book wasn't bad either--IMHO Cynthia Voigt is incapable of writing a bad book.

I'd have enjoyed it as a teenager.
