A Fast and Trendy Read!

I am very happy that Dyan Sheldon made yet, another book in the "Confessions" series and I hope she makes a fourth! This is a fun and laugh-out-loud read, Lola doing what she does best! I am not going to tell you everything in the book, for you should read it yourself because it is very good. Dyan Shelson describes each part with detail and comes up with a funny plot! For, it is a quick read (only about 200 pages) it would only take about a couple of days to read this, and you won't regret reading it! It's funny, charming, fluffy, cute, and Lola is just amazing! This is a "MUST" if you are a Huge Lola fan and you just love reading Dyan Sheldon's books. She is a talented writer and she just descibes Lola perfectly. I hope she writes a new book and makes it even more funny! This is totally worth the read Filled with drama (of course), acting, and competetion, this is an exciting and laughable read! This book is highly recommended! Lola is finally graduating from Dellwood High and she is extremley excited because she will fufill her dream of being an actress. But, even if it means she'll be studying theater at Brooklyn College and not her dream school, London's prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. It's okay for Lola though, because she heard that they are shooting a movie on Dellwood?! Telling everyone she got a part in the movie, being Lola, now she has to persuade the director to give her a part. But competition lands when Carla goes up against Lola for the part. It's Lola versue Carla in this witty and adorable third installment. Hope you enjoy! Jordan Overall grade* B+
