Dyan Sheldon brings back the winning cast of characters from CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE DRAMA QUEEN in a new tale of suburban high school woe - told through the eyes of an endearingly unassuming heroine.

The first time Lola came to my house, she threw herself on my bed with an unstifled cry. "My God, Ella, is there anything you don’t have?"

With perfect parents, perfect friends, and perfect poise, it seems like Ella Gerard has it all. But when Ella’s new best friend (and resident drama queen), Lola Cep, nominates Ella to run for school president against her ex-best friend, the wickedly popular Carla Santini, many of the less-than-perfect aspects of Ella’s life - and of her family’s - begin to make themselves more than obvious. When the election votes are tallied, can Ella come out a winner without losing face?
