Book Review By Melissa Minto
Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen by Dyan Sheldon

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen is about Lola (Mary) Cep. Her mother makes her family move from New York City to a small town in New Jersey called Dellwood. Lola meets a girl named Ella who turns out to be her best friend. Lola battles Carla Santini, who seems to rule the school.

Lola and Ella hear the news that their favorite band, Siddhartha, is going to break up! But when they go to school, they hear about Siddhartha's last goodbye concert. Carla of course has to go to the concert for bragging rights, even though she doesn't even like the band, but Lola and Ella absolutly have to see Siddhartha's last concert. They have an "interesting" experience in New York, but even though they really did meet Stu Wolff, Siddhartha's lead singer, no one believes them because Carla lies to everyone.
