I guess if you havent read Meg Cabot or Sophie Kinsella, Rose Wilkins comes across as an inteligent writer with original plotlines and funny jokes. I, however, have read books like this before. So when i started reading So Super Stylish, i was unimpressed. The characters arent very strong and it wasnt an unputdownable book. But it looks like Rose Wilkins had a surge of creativity towards the middle of the book, because the latter half of the book is much better, and it starts to get even more interesting towards the end.

Overall, this is a good read for youngsters and quite enjoyable, but if i had to recommend another book instead of this, i'd reccomend a Meg Cabot book. Because really, you cant go wrong with Meg.

Octavia Clairbrook-Cleeve, daughter of a famous actress and director, has no wish to be in the spotlight. After leaving her glitzy school behind, she enters the local high school. For a while, she believes that she has gotten away from her former life. Unfortunately, she is mistaken. Bud, her mother's boyfriend, decides to pack up and move to live with them, bringing his son, Milton, along. While that causes some excitement, nothing can compare to the fact that India Withers, Octavia's nemesis, comes to her school claiming that she's doing research for her next acting gig. And India is in to cause as much harm as possible to Octavia's somewhat calmer life.

I really liked reading So Super Stylish. I wish that I had started with it's prequel, So Super Starry, first. It was interesting to read about the life of someone famous. While this reminded me of the Introducing Vivian Leigh Reid and the A-List, So Super Stylish is original in it's own way. The story kept me interested as soon as I read the first page. I would recommend this book as a fun, quick read for the summer.
