The Popularity Rules - Tapa blanda

"A gleeful skewering of pop culture, modern femininity, and female bonding."

"An entertaining modern take on the classic myth of Pygmalion."

"Fans of Helen Fielding's chick lit classic Bridget Jones's Diary and Sophie Kinsella's Shopaholic series will adore this one." 4 Stars

"What if there was a rule book on how to be popular? That's the cute premise of Abby McDonald's first novel for adults "Popularity Rules.""

"I really enjoyed this one and it is a super pick me up story that should appeal to those who love Rachel Johnson and Jane Green."

"McDonald hits on a subject that strikes at the heart of young women in just about every culture. Popularity vs. idealism...Readers of contemporary women's fiction will find this one interesting on a lot of levels."

"The "Popularity Rules" book is based on the simple, psychological truth that nobody ever recovers from high school. In reality, this actually makes sense. While, we all strive to better ourselves, there is a small part of us that still reverts back to our former self in high school."

"The characters are bold and bright with a smattering of sarcasm and wells of intricacies. Each character in the book is flayed apart to perfection; letting us not only take a peek at them, but analyze them without even trying."

"The story is compelling and the characters are interesting and well developed. The plot moves along with some unexpected turns along the way."

"I can always count on Abby McDonald for fun reads that will at the same time make you think."

The meek don't inherit a thing. Nice girls win nothing but regret. Virtue is wholly overrated.

If you don't do it, some other girl will.

Kat Elliot has spent her life fighting against phony schmoozing-and it's led her nowhere. A rebellious music journalist, Kat is down on her dreams when her ex?best friend Lauren swishes back into town. Ten years ago, Lauren dumped Kat for high school gold: popularity. Now Lauren wants to make amends by teaching Kat the secret to her success: The Popularity Rules, a decades-old rule book that transformed Lauren that fateful summer.

Broke and desperate, Kat reluctantly agrees to a total makeover-what does she have to lose? She's gotten nowhere on her own. Maybe becoming someone new is just what she needs.
