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.
