Status Updates From American Girls

Anna now has a little crush on one of the actors she’s been hanging out with. Also, I didn’t realize Lynette was that much of a “hippie”. She’s ultra mega against almost everything in society.

I really dislike Olivia Taylor. She’s an entitled used-to-be-famous actor and made Anna use her emergency card for a stupid overpriced bag.

Jesus that’s brutal

So only “hippie women” breastfeed in public? Damn, guess Anna really does know everything.

I think it’s cool that Anna gets to go on set with her sister, but I’m a little confused about how she’s going to earn money to get back home and pay back her mom.

I’d appreciate it if Cora crawled back under whatever rock she clearly came from

I love that EVERY SINGLE PERSON except for her sister is fat. “Marilyn Monroe in her fat phase” do you mean her “drop-dead kick-me-in-the-face gorgeous phase”? Come on. Get real, little girl. Marilyn Monroe is a legend & you disrespecting her just makes you look bad.

I finally figured out which mother is which. I thought Cora was the crazy mess and Lynette was the yoga 2 year old, but it’s the other way around. I also found out Cora isn’t really the best mother. She wasn’t proud of her daughter at all when she had been in her first movie. She said she was disgusted by the idea of having sex with her husband

Delia and Anna are getting along really well. While Rodger was a total flop, Dex, Delia’s actual boyfriend (I think?) is super funny. Delia’s also less fake around him. I’m glad Delia isn’t too mad at Anna.

I’m glad Lynette called.. I was expecting her to be a lot more harsh because Anna described her as a scary strict person. Lynette was pretty reasonable and didn’t yell at all (Lynette is the woman Anna’s mom married).

The book is a little hard to follow, but that doesn’t make it uninteresting. Right now. Delia is acting and Anna is getting bored by the terrible lines, so she’s working on an assignment given to her by Rodger which she doesn’t want to do. (42)

I’m glad Delia’s letting Anna stay for a few days to cool off. Also, the way Delia talked about her mom was really nice.. I just wish Anna wouldn’t have gotten “Cora 2.0” (p 16)

So far this book is already crazy. On page 1, it talks about how Anna’s mom was trying to get pregnant with her son... Anna has already run away from home, taking her moms credit card. She is now living with her sister Delia.

Anna is one of the most unlikeable characters, I don’t sympathize with her at all.

“Tragic is interesting but only if there was no collateral damage, and there always is.”
