" Better than I thought it would be, and also much better that the movie "
— Purple_girl, 2/16/2014" The book is exactly like the movie. I guess it was short enough to takes up a basic DVD. Instead of wasting time chencking this book out, just watch the movie. "
— Love, 2/9/2014" This book was ok, I did not like the plot that much. It was way tpo girly for me. And at a lot of points i was confused. Also, i wouldnt recomend it to anone who doesnt like girly books. And the ending was not what i imangine it would be. "
— Erika, 2/2/2014" Stopped halfway through, was boring, not to my taste ( And i don't say that about many books. "
— Emily, 1/31/2014" It was ok. Lola is pretty annoying and I hate to think that teenage girls thinkk that this is how they get what they want, by whinning and being stubborn. "
— Jaime, 1/18/2014" To be honest, I didn't really think was a particularly good book. I guess it's okay for younger readers, but it's not something I'd recommend to anyone. "
— Lauren-Ellen, 1/8/2014" pantang menyerah untuk sesuatu yang diharapkan "
— Risaolsan, 1/7/2014" This book is about a famous actress named Lindsey Lohan. She is very dramatic and there is a movie based on this book. You can find this book in the Public library. "
— Jaisha, 1/4/2014" This book's good, the chick is a big time liar and everybody believes her, when they find out she lied about almost everyhting they stop trusting her and later when she is telling the truth they don't really believe anything she says. "
— Angela, 12/23/2013" Very different from the film but still a good book all the same! "
— Robyn, 10/29/2013" Got me bored. "
— Nicole, 10/14/2013" I didn't realize it was a Yougn Adult book. It was ok, even though the main character Lola was sort of annoying. The movie was laaaaaaame. "
— Carlee, 10/6/2013" So adventurous story ever! :) Hahaa. Just my taste! <3 "
— Aliyah, 9/23/2013" I sooo like this book. After reading it, I realized my life isn't really exciting compare to Mary's (Or, in this matter, Lola). You know, high school isn't about fitting in and not getting your lives boring, but high school is about fun and friends and enjoying life. "
— Alyssa, 9/23/2013" I really liked this book. Taught me to never give up. If you think someone's life is perfect, even if they're famous, their lives aren't perfect. "
— Meg, 4/17/2013" This book is really funny. "
— Ellie, 3/24/2013" It was a ok book, not necessarily written for me. I had forgotten I read it until I was leafing through a copy and then realized I had read it once and it didn't leave a lasting impression. More for a teenage girl then someone in their 20's for sure ;) "
— Marie, 1/5/2013" I found it very slow moving. "
— Millie, 12/24/2012" i love it so far! "
— Allison, 6/16/2012" the movie was a lot better. it took some time to finish this book(i forced myself to read it) "
— Vanessa, 6/7/2012" I thought this book was super cute! It was a fun story. "
— Lizzy, 3/3/2012" Nonton filmnya dulu sebelum baca bukunya. I'm not a LiLo fan, just wanna compare the movie and the book. Standar aja... "
— Indah, 1/21/2012" I weakly enjoyed this book. I thought it was cute and original. I especially liked how th e character stood up for herself, but I hated how she always let her pride get in the way. "
— Oksana, 1/5/2012" Pretty funny! It is really cute. "
— Amanda, 12/20/2011" The real title of the book I read was Confessions of a Teenager but I can't find it on this websites. I really liked the book because it contained many short stories of problems other teenagers are facing or have faced. The problems include things from family issues to self-abuse to molestation. "
— Lashai, 8/7/2011" I always dislike when authors think drama is synonymous with habitual liar. I'm glad this was short. "
— Trisha, 4/28/2011" This book was loaned to me by my teenage niece while I was taking care of them for a week. It was a really fun, easy, fast read which is especially entertaining if you know many teenage girls and how dramatic they can be. "
— Maria, 2/25/2011" I took an AR test and got a 7/10 "
— Stephanie, 2/18/2011" It was ok. Lola is pretty annoying and I hate to think that teenage girls thinkk that this is how they get what they want, by whinning and being stubborn. <br/> "
— Jaime, 2/13/2011" I saw the movie years before reading the book. Both were good. I enjoyed reading the book AFTER seeing the movie- usually I do the opposite. "
— Kristen, 1/27/2011" Apa ya? Kok agak lupa, udah lama bacanya :D. Yang saya ingat, ini termasuk teenlit yang lumayan. Nggak terlalu tipikal gitu, meski temanya sih sudah sering banget diangkat. Karakter tokohnya agak tipe-tipe "mbeling" kayak Star Girl. Sekuelnya, My Perfect Life menurut saya lebih seru. "
— Rahmadiyanti, 1/25/2011" Fun and quirky. It reminds me of the movie Clueless. =) "
— Bradley, 1/24/2011" Exactly like the movie! :) "
— Maria, 1/11/2011" I like reading this book because most of the book as one person talking from her point of view. I also enjoyed the storyline (theme). I am looking forward into finishing the book so i can go on to my next one! "
— Amisha, 12/7/2010" One of my favorite books because it was in sync with the movie. "
— Megan, 12/1/2010" pantang menyerah untuk sesuatu yang diharapkan "
— Risaolsan, 11/5/2010" I really like this book. Hilarious! :) "
