This girl understands Murphy's Law. Anything that can go wrong, will; and usually at her own hand.

Considering this was a random book that I got at Costco, I was pleasantly surprised. Totally readable and I didn't hate the main character (a rarity in chick lit).

I enjoyed this story more than I enjoyed the first Drama Queen book. Elle is someone who manages to make complete chaos manageable. When everything seems to fall apart around her, she is at the top of her game. I can't help but admire that.
I recommend this author for her fresh and witty storylines, snappy dialogue and characters that are realistic and easy to relate to.

Just as hilarious as Confessions of a Drama Queen. The main character is a hilarious disaster.

I read the first half of the book and then skipped to the end. It didn't seem like I missed much.

This book was just okay. Chalk it up as yet another formulaic chick lit story with a flaky main character who is somewhat difficult to relate to. I finished it merely because I didn't want to waste what time I had already spent reading it. It was predictable and rather generic.
If you're considering reading this one, save your energy for a better, more engrossing read, with a character who is infinitely more relateable.

This was the sequel to True Confessions of a Drama Queen (not at all related to that Lindsay Lohan movie.) I think I was expecting too much and I also think I'm a little biased because I just read an EXTREMELY similar book by the same author. But, it was cute and funny. Good if you're looking for an easy book with no surprises and a happy ending.

Elle is up to her old tricks of creating drama and pretending to be psychic (continued from the prequel, Tales of a Drama Queen). When she ends up half-naked on the internet, she begins to wish she had real psychic powers to track down who filmed her and wonders how drama seems to follow her wherever she goes. Cute read overall.

This novel is hilarious and absolutely intriguing,so far,but I'm halfway,so i'll see what my judgement is at the end.

This is a pretty funny book; I liked that she felt she had to make herself uglier so she wouldn't outshine her friend at her friend's wedding. Good times.

I didn't read the first one, but I liked this book anyway. I felt like I was missing something now and then. I'd recommend reading the first one before this one.
