Nicolette Spicer, or Nick, has always been a tomboy, and wasn't ashamed of it. She was proud of the way she dressed and carried herself and she was proud at how well she did at basketball. But Nick's feelings about herself begin to change when she literally bumps into Ben, the new guy at school. Who knew he could be so cute up close?

Now Nick begins to crush on Ben, but there seems to be one little problem. It looks like Ben only goes for the types of girls who are completely into the way they look and the latest fashions. Girls like Hannah, who just so happens to also be on the basketball team -- but who is also pretty, Nick's enemy, and definitely the one Ben would go out with. Nick knows nothing about fashion and hasn't really cared about the way she looks, but she's determined to have Ben notice her girly side, and hopefully have him choose her over Hannah.

The only way Nick can accomplish this is to get a makeover, and she needs one quick so she can make her big debut as a girly girl at Hannah's party, which Ben will just so happen to be attending. But will this makeover be totally beneficial in helping Nick to get Ben? Or will it just make her feel even worse about herself?

Words just can't describe how hilarious and entertaining HOW TO BE A GIRLY GIRL IN JUST TEN DAYS was. Lisa Papademetriou shows us that sometimes being yourself is more worth it and definitely less time-consuming than a makeover. This is the perfect quick read for anyone who just wants to sit back and relax.

I love this book, How to be a girly girl in just ten days! It's very exciting, and Nick Spicer gets confused and upset at the girly girl she's trying to be. It all starts when Nick bumps into a boy named Ben while going to get some punch. She begins to like Ben, but he only likes girls that are girly and beautiful. So Nick gives a go at being a girly girl. Soon, she decides a very important decision. Girly Girl or not?

I read most of my twelve-year old daughters books not only to check for content, but because it's fun to 'go-back a few years'. This book was not the greatest pre-teen book i've read lately. The wording is a little off. The plot is long-drawn out. There is one circumstance in which I felt that main character 'used' a boy in a pretentious way like he didn't even matter. What I did like about it is that it does give the old advice to'just be yourself and that's a positive message that I would want to instill in my own daughter.

My neice loves this book. One of her friends read the book thrice in one week. This book is full of humor, growing up and finding your own path.
