I think next time you should be just a little more careful because the comments about rape and bulimia were borderline offensive.
But overall good recap. Highlights were: ragging on leggings (which are evil), Ellen Page being Unconventional (even though I adore Juno), Christina Aguilera, and pointing out the ridiculousness of Art being in class and assigned homework. I do wonder how Art knows Mr. Collins is the bestest unless they met in Sweet Valley Twins when Liz was still in middle school...

Agreed. The bit about Elizabeth throwing up what she eats was OOC, anyway. Elizabeth doesn't have an eating disorder, she counsels the token character who has one. And does it so well that she's 100% cured in a couple of chapters.
Constructive criticism duley noted. I also want to point out that I wasn’t implying Liz has bulimia any more than Dana actually has the clap (of course... you never know). It was more of a commentary on the “perfect size 4” Calefornia-Barbie. But I know my sense of humor can be off-color at times so I do appreciate the feedback.

I laughed so hard at this. :)
This book is like a combination of The Princess Diaries 2 and The Prince and Me. (why yes, I have watched both of those wonders of cinematography)
Awesome recap!

Then she leapt from her chair, tears of joy and excitement and dollar signs in her eyes. “Oh, honey, congratulations!”
HAHAHAH!

That was seriously the biggest WTF moment this series has ever had for me. It tops Crazy Margo hands down.
