Life Was Cool Until You Got Popular
Fans of Louise Rennison love this book!Thirteen year old Kaley’s best friend Jules is an alien clone. That has to be it. Because Jules wouldn’t dress like that or act like that…and she definitely wouldn’t be friends with Meg-a-bitch.
Kaley can't wait to start at her new school with her best friend Jules. Jules was away in Europe all summer (worst summer of Kaley's life!) But it's cool, now school is starting and everything is going to be awesome. However as the school bus pulls up on that first day, Kaley barely recognizes the silky hair and glossy lips as Jules gets off with the cool kids and with their arch-nemesis Meg, the popular girl (God only knows why) who made Kaley and Jules's lives miserable in elementary school. In Europe, Meg had somehow won over Kaley's best friend and Kaley finds herself frozen out.

Tangled in a web of unfinished homework, ill-considered sexting and a new lead-singer boyfriend, Poppy has a choice to make between the ex that inspired it all and the rock God whose poster lines the inside of half the lockers at school.

WHAT READERS SAY
“A fast, fun read that captures the insecurities and challenges that come with being a teenager. Billington has a strong, relatable voice--"I was just all out hideous. A great lump of hideousity."--and manages to add humor to a situation that might seem pretty daunting (but awfully familiar) to teen readers. For readers needing a quick pick-me-up, a chuckle, and reassurance that teens sometimes DO make good choices, LIFE WAS EASIER . . . will be a breath of fresh air.”
Erin Fry, author of LOSING IT coming in 2012 from Marshall Cavendish Children's Books.
“A immensely readable story that shows the advantages of not always going along with the crowd! Important advice for many during the ages of peer pressure! A great read!”
