Mary Elizabeth, a.k.a. Lola, is accustomed to playing the starring role in the fascinating production that is her life. Her pottery-making single mom and bratty twin sisters are merely bit players in Lola's dramatic existence. But all this changes when she is forced to move from her beloved Manhattan to the boring suburbs of New Jersey. According to Lola, "living in the suburbs is like being dead, only with cable TV and pizza delivery." The worst part is that someone has already snagged the coveted Drama Queen of Suburbia title--and that someone is Carla Santini.

It was amazing to see her go through popularity, and decline, and still keeping her cool, although she does fall into depression and anger but Lola remains Lola. The main strength, however, are the supporting characters, Ella Gerard and Carla Santini. The latter is probably the true personification of a high-school bitchy. Dyan Sheldon uniquely fleshed-out Carla a"
