This book is one I read many years ago and still read sometimes today as it is a sweet and funny book with interesting characters and a main character who you really come to feel for and like. It's a typical 'coming of age' 'entering high school' book but still more original than a lot of them out there.

Shallow Girls
When I saw this book in the library I thought twice about checking it out; because it sounds like it would be about shallow, mindless girls. It was actually a good book though and I would recommend it to anyone! I felt like I could relate to the characters in this book and that's what kept me interested in it. This book was about two girls who are best friends, their names are Jennifer and Amy. They are about to discover a whole new world when they begin ninth grade.
Amy wants to get a fresh start to high school so she drops a few pounds and gets a perm. Jennifer on the other hand isn't worried what people think of her and she can't believe that Amy is either because she never cared about people's opinions before. Amy talks to Jennifer while they are walking to school but then the popular girls start to notice her and ask her to hang out with them. Jennifer feels left out but she makes new friends despite of Amy abandoning her. Jennifer's friends are not so popular and Amy tells her she needs to start hanging out with the "right" crowd. Amy also tells Jennifer that she could stand to lose a few pounds and that she needs to do something with her hair. So Jennifer tries to change her body image by going on a diet and dying her hair blonde. With the help of her new friends Jennifer starts to realize that if someone is your true friend you shouldn't have to change yourself in any way to make them like you. This book is definitely worth reading!

This is a amazing book about a girl who finds she's alot happier at being who she is than she could ever be being 'Miss Perfect Teenager'a girl who is gorgeous, size six and who all the boys want to go out with. I really enjoyed reading this book and it is a heartfelt account on the average tenage girl.
Childhood Friends Drift Apart in High School
16 April 2004
Format:Hardcover
I read this book only because the author is getting so much mileage out of her other Young Adult novel, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. This earlier novel is a great addition to the angst filled genre of teen novels about trying to fit in. So many of the situations described match what my own 13-year-old daughter is going through. The only complaint I had is that the girl's friend goes from being a geek to a popular girl seemingly overnight and easily earns a slot on the cheerleading squad without even taking a dance lesson. I don't think someone can enter a different clique that quickly and effortlessly. I do believe that longterm friends can suddenly drift apart, and the hurt caused from that situation is captured brilliantly in this book.
