review 1: Very Mean Girls-esque. It was funny and witty and sometimes fairly annoying. However I am not one to deny that I enjoyed this book even if it had flaws and all.I often get surprised at April. She reminded me of another movie, you know, 13 going on 30? She's exactly like the main character there. She kind of tries hard to be part of the clique and she has lots of insecurities strapped on herself. Generally, she's a typical character in this story. She doesn't stand out and she didn't shrivel up either. She's just alright, although she's a little hypocritical.As for the other characters, they also appeared to me as typical teenage characters who are part of a book dealing with popularity and queen bees. Some characters are blobs to me. They're flat, but I guess they are made... more that way so that we can focus more on the main character. I particularly liked Delvin McGerk here. He's a nice guy who just wants to be friends (or maybe more) with April and is really helpful and supportive of April. The plot is cliched. Naturally, it is predictable on how things will go. The big surprise at the end was something that I anticipated. However, that did not stop me from reading it. It was such a fun ride reading this one although I can't really relate with the High School Experience presented here.(Compared to this book, my HS experience is very tame and very fun. I'm a junior now, but I didn't experience these kinds of treatment. Thank goodness for that)If you don't take this book seriously you might enjoy it more. That's what I am going to advice to you. don't take this book too seriously, read it lightly and don't let it clobber your brain with frustrations. It's a short book and is told in a light and easy voice. It had depth and heart. It is something that I enjoyed reading, but I probably won't read this again anymore.
review 2: I absolutely loved the Lipstick Laws, I stayed up late into the night to read as much as possible of it. It's hilarious! If you've seen Mean Girls, read this. It's much better. The nick-name 'Hottie-Body-Brentwood' cracked me up, it was so cheesy! Oh and the cross-dressing scene.... I found myself reading various snippets to my equally amused OH. This book is definitely worth the read for the random scenes of bra stuffing, clothes rack hiding, water disasters and Britney's secret... There wasn't any part of this book that I could give a bad rating to and I'm hoping desperately for a sequel... and a movie! less
