review 1: I wasn't sure what to think about this book when I first started it. I was afraid it was going to end up being a book about a shallow girl who won the lottery and wasted it all so we could learn from her mistakes. My fears were unfounded. Lia, the main character, can be shallow, which isn't surprising considering that she is 16. However, her development doesn't stop there. She starts to realize a lot about herself through the course of the story, as well as learning about life and the world around her. It ended up being a book that I had a hard time putting down. I wanted to see what would happen next and really hoped that Lia wasn't going to lose it all because that would make me sad. The story developed beautifully and just like real life, there were ups and downs, times... more that made me laugh and others that were sad. I did have to look up a few things because the story is set in London and I'm not entirely familiar with all things English, but that didn't have an effect on my enjoyment of the book.
review 2: A really fun read. Funny chick lit with some substance to it, and mysterious and unexpected plot developments. Lia herself is great--completely selfish and narcissistic, she's still quite likable (and her faults are very human). I especially enjoyed all the humor related to Lia's obsession with supernatural werewolf/vampire/ghost/angel romances. I also enjoyed some of the more substantive themes and subjects, like Lia's (evolving) perception of her best friend's practice of Islam. Recommended for fans of Louise Rennison. less
