This was a good book. It teaches alot kids how you should be yourself,stay true. Popularity is something good, but how far some people go for it like wow. It tells you that you should always be happy for your friend no matter what they are doing. Like Kelly said "popularity aint easy" ( Kelly is a character from the book .)

What Parents Need to Know
About So Not the Drama
Parents need to know that this book deals with some serious topics having to do with race, sexuality, and class. One character deals drugs, another remains snotty until the end, and another threatens several fights. There is some tension between two male characters after one begins to design costumes for the theater department, putting his sexuality in question.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about Mina's quest for popularity. There have been many stories about teens who think they want to be popular but learn to be real instead; can you think of movies and other books that have that same theme? Why is that so appealing to young readers?
