Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Fiona Flamingo

The sequel to Confessions of a teenage Drama Queen did not turn out to be as dazzlingly dramatic or spectcular as I'd imagined. It's quite ordinary.

This book is about Ella, Lola Cep's best friend in the 'Confessions'.
It's basically about how perfect Ella seems on the outside, with the right clothes, right house and perfect parents. Then Lola, to spite their arch-nemisis, Carla Santini, signs Ella up to be student-body president, the not so perfect aspects of Ella's life begin to surface.
Like how her mother always drinks. Or, how her dad's never there. Or...why she looks after the house and cleans up after her mom.

This book is all about campaining and politics. However, in the end what Ella come out as? The winner? Or the loser to Carla Santini?

It's a satisfactory read, although I'm slightly board of the charcters in books always running for president. I just wish the book had a different theme. Otherwise, it was quite ok, although not perfect.
