Customer Reviews

a "Land" I'd be happy to revisit

This book managed to break my heart and make me laugh out loud all in the same sentence--repeatedly! I was thoroughly entertained by the other characters and the surprising plot twists, but it was Tallulah who resonates with me. Thanks to the writer for such a rich, raw, real character.

Unique humor + emotional punch

This book has the same quirky, laugh-out-loud humor as Messina's debut Fashionistas. What surprised me about this book is how much raw emotion there is in it. Tallulah is dealing with her mother's death and the fact that her father has already moved on and married again, and she is punishing both herself and him for what she perceives as his betrayal. The characters are very funny and real and their story is engaging and entertaining. Read it!

witty, wonderful follow-up to Fashionistas

Lynn Messina need not worry about the sophomore slump. Her second novel, TALLULAHLAND is a superb novel -- it is witty and utterly engrossing. All of the characters are so true-to-life and engaging. I've recommended TALLULAHLAND to all of my friends, and now I urge you, too, to get a copy. You won't be disappointed!

Hang out...

I wonder if Lynn Messina is anyting like her characters, because if she is, she'd be one of the few females that I'd love to hang out with. Tallulah can't find her backbone but she's become best friends with her sarcasm, indecisiveness, and regard for friendship. Nick was the annoying know-it-all who sounded cute and made me want to read about him on every page because I enjoyed his presence. He WAS literally Tallulah's backbone and the camp scene was so fun, I wish I was back in my girl scouting days.Hannah was Tallulah's extravagant, vindictive side and Tallulah's father, Lou, is her cool, even-tempered side. Altogether they make a very entertaining person. And apart? They frustrate me. Just like Fashionistas (her first book), I didn't want the book to end and would've thoroughly enjoyed the article on Marcos.
