What can I Say? This book was definitely a fun and quick read with a lot of Family and friendship Dynamic.
LOL is about Sonny, a girl who is constantly lying. She is best friends with Amy Rush (yes, Rush as in Wesley Rush!!!!) since forever and whereas Amy was always the shy one, Sonny played the active Part in their friendship and stood up for her. Then suddenly, Sonny get 'kicked out' by her mom, loses her Job and makes a mistake concerning the new-Kid Ryder who she thought would hate.
I must Say That Sonny was a quite interesting character... She definitely has her good sides, especially her fierceness, but most of the Time she was quite annoying... She constantly lies and acts egoistic, also she doesn't want to accept the reality which is actually pretty Self-destructive...
What I really liked was the ending, because there you could see her character development and some reasons for her behavoir were explained.
Sonny's best friend Amy was actually a real pearl. First, she is Wesley Rush's Sister (and therefore there a some really Great Family Rush plus Bianca Moments) and secondly she is a really helpful, amazing friend. She lets Sonny live with her and always helps her with her plans. Plus, her Family is incredible (they are almost too nice to bei true). Just like Sonny, Amy really changed throughout the story and becomes even more greater.
Lastly, I want to Say something to Ryder who was Kind of the Main Male character. Ryder is a Snob-hipster-Kid that Movies from DC to Hamilton and is very unfriendly with everyone. Later in the Book You get to know him better and I Must say he is quite cool but some aspects about him (especially those that Sonny Talks about near the end of Book) are also quite annoying, I even now Not knie of I liked him or Not.
Eventually, LOL is a fun and entertaining Book primarily about friendship and Great cameos from othe Kody Keplinger novels (Even if I have only read The DUFF), but nothing more.

I wasn't sure about this book, but I absolutely love Kody Keplinger's writing. Her books are always fun to read and this one is no exception. I also enjoy that I got to see the other characters from her other books in here. I also love seeing Rush and Bianca together. I am happy that they are still going strong.
I love reading about Sonny and Amy's friendship, not a lot of books focus on friendship and I feel that friendship is as important as finding love. The friends you have will support you through your tough time.
Sonny and Ryder are so cute together when they chat together online. I thought it was kind of obvious that it was Sonny chatting with Ryder and not Amy. Their personalities are different from each other but I guess you can never know since it is online. It is easy to hide behind online.

I can honestly say that I think Kody Keplinger was thinking of me when she wrote this book. I was laughing out loud for a great majority of the books. I loved the characters and bring brought by to the DUFF universe. It was a great read.

By reading this book I could spend a little more time with Wesley and Bianca? Count me in. I like being able to keep up with YA couples. Wait, is that weird? Anyway, back to the story. Girl hates boy. Mutual hatred. But Boy likes Girl's best friend. Girl accidentally--then intentionally--catfishes boy and then falls for him.
Ryder Cross is no Wesley Rush. That’s obvious, right? Wrong or right, I couldn’t help but feel a little let down. Although I loooooved the fact that he secretly loved rom-coms enough to have a collection of them, his hipster pretentiousness got a little old. I think that's the point, though. Which brings me to the next thing...
I saw similarities in Kody Keplinger's characters (from the two books); the main one being what you see is NOT what you get. This is precisely why there’s always the difference of who they really are and how people perceive them. Ryder, to me, wasn't as interesting or likable as Wesley was. But he was kind of funny. Sonny was a smart girl, and she actually made me laugh a couple times. But she told SO many lies over the course of the book, which it made me realize how much I really hate lying/being lied to. As if I needed reminding.
Sonny & Amy. I liked how their friendship was written. I liked that Sonny told Amy early on that she liked Ryder. The only problem is that the web of lies had already grown too big for her to keep up with. She wasn’t being fair to Amy. I was really proud of Amy for finally saying that enough was enough. And I'm glad they fixed their friendship in the end.

Sonny was an asshole. I liked Amy & Ryder better. And i wouldve actually shipped Wesley & Sonny even after she became honest. It wasnt the Rose-Dimitri type relationship and i don't ship Sonny & Ryder contrary to how much chemistry they keep saying they have. Ok read nonetheless.
