Witty, deliciously fresh, and full of zeal, this is a fictional story of Mary Elizabeth Cep aka "Lola" who moves from exciting New York City to the boring suburbs of Dellwood, New Jersey. Looking to shake things up at her new school and become the center of attention, she runs into a huge problem named Carla Santini. You see, Carla is very rich, attractive, and popular and already rules the roost at Dellwood High. Thus, begins a very ugly war between the two of them. Yes, girls can be extremely nasty, mean, and cruel to each other.
Although Lola doesn't share any of the qualities Carla has, Lola is very shrewd and can instantly turn any misfortune into an opportunity.
Written in pseudo diary like entries, this first person narrative evokes a powerful insight into a teenage girl's mind. You will find Lola instantly likable within the first few pages. A very quick read. Unfortunately, the ending feels too abrupt and I felt could have been fleshed out a little more. Still this is a book you don't want to miss.
