Customer Reviews

Perfect book for 12-16 year-olds! A great Christmas gift!

I started Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen yesterday and stayed up half the night finishing it! Sure I regretted it that morning when I had to wake up at 6 to go to high school but it was definatly worth it! Who would be able to put down the fabulously realistic and humorous Lola and her best friend Ella? I can't wait to get my hands on My Perfect Life, the sequel, and read on.For all potenial buyers, this is a great gift for 12-16 year-olds and a really fun book.

Gr-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-reat Book

This book is great for anyone that has dreams they think will never come true. Lola moves to Dellwood, New Jersey and thinks it is the most boring place. All she wants is to become a famous actress, and now it seems impossible. When she hears her favorite band is breaking up, she just has to get tickets to their last concert and her rival, Carla, already has them. To find out what happens to Lola, read this book. It is great. I usually don't like reading, but this book i just couldn't put down.

Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen!

Weell! I loved this book! I checked it out in the libary because my mom nudged me and went "that sounds like you!" That book gave m,e ideas. 1. I wore a cape to school after reading the book. I am dead on serious. It was fun. 2. I have moods now. 3. I am as passionate as Juliet in a fit of confession ?(excuse the pun)WHO IS THE qUEEN OF dRAMA QUEENS. I felt that this is a book of high quality, and I'm sorta out of the reviewer's mood today. Sorry, but I highly recomend the bookMary "Lola" Cep (or Sep) is a drama queen with flair. After you read this book you see the world in a whole new light. Like, well, am I brave enough to what she did.... and stuff like dat. It's a great book!

Great Light Read

I picked this book up from the library because my little sister is a Drama Queen and I wanted to know what she was going to be like when she was a teenager. I ended up really liking the book. You can definatley relate to Lola and she has a great personality. The details of her battle with the popular girl are wonderful but the end is unexpected. The other reviewer said that only one person walked away w/ her dignity but I don't think that's true. Anyway I highly recomend this if you are looking for a light funny read. The one problem was it wasn't to thought provoking and you definitley couldn't have a disscusion about it.
