Summary: Have a nice life is a great book!
Review: I just bought all the books in the series on Friday. They were so good I couldnt put them down and i was finished with the series the next day. The series starts with these four teenage girls...Zola, Min, Olivia, and Sally. There futures are not what they had in mind so there fairy godmother, Clarence Terence helps them to change them. Once their finished fixing their futures in the end of the fourth book they forget about their godmother (as they were told they would) and then went to their 10 year high school reunion where they meet up with old friends. They have their futures to be just what they could have wished for. I would recommend this book to anyone. It really makes you think about what you want to do with your life.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great read!
Review: I'm a teenager and I loved this book! If you want your teenage daughter to read more give her this book because she will want to read the rest! I know I did. I've finished the first and second and am dieing to get my hands on the third! This was a wonderful book about how your life can get screwed up by making one little mistake, but you can also change your future by making one little change. Hm? Sounds kinda good doesn't it?

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This book is no "it's a wonderful life"
Review: The classy but cool Zola, the smart but fashionable Olivia, the crazy but funny Min, and the nerdy but nice Sally. Four very different girls one special bond. The bond of friendship. What do you get when four teens go to the prom expecting it to be the best night of their lives? Disaster! Everything from a nair experiment gone wrong to finding your prom date in a limo with another girl. So how did four friends begin their day primping for prom and end it by meeting their fairy godmother and seeing their future? Read and find out. Not only will you love this book because of the wacky adventures they go through, but because it's realistic. I loved this book and it gave me a good laugh...so I totally recommend it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great read!
Review: This book is a GREAT BOOK! It can be read in a day if you're really into it like I was. It keeps it real, concerning high school and tells you what they're really thinking. Okay so some of it, like seeing the future and fairy godmothers, is undoubtedly realistic, but hey, we could all use a little imagination? Great for someone who doesn't like to read.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A little simple minded...
Review: This book is about 4 girls, Min, Olivia, Zola, and Sally. They are all best friends. They are shown their futures by their fairy godmother, Clarence. Their futures are all lousy, and all of the girls think theirs is the worst one. The girls make a pact to help each other and always stay friends. The problems are solved in the other books of the series. I thought that this book was funny, and unique. It was a little unrealistic, but I don't consider that a bad thing.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Don't judge a book by it's cover...
Review: This book is about 4 girls: Zola, Min, Olivia, and Sally. Each has their own special personality. Zola's the cool one, Min's the funny one, Olivia's the ditzy one, and Sally's the babyish one. They may be opposites, but they're best friends.

Then, after having a horrific prom, their fairy godmother comes to the rescue. His name, Clarence Terence (or "Lenny" as the girls like to call him) shows each girl her future. Zola's going to be a porn model; Min's going to be married to her present boyfriend, Tobias, but they are going through a divorce; Olivia's going to be a flight attendant; and Sally's going to work as a teacher at the very same high school where she goes.

After that, the four best friends make a pact that they will be friends forever and help each other change their futures.

I thought this looked like a cool book, even though I had never heard of it before, so I bought it from Amazon.com. But even after the first few pages, I thought that maybe it wasn't a good idea to get this book. But I kept reading, hopefuly that it might get better.

After reading the book, I gave it 2 stars because of 2 things.

1) THE GIRLS' MORALS. The girls swear in every other sentence, and Sally is the only one that is a virgin. But even she swears, and her number one goal in life is to have sex before she graduates from high school. These girls are only seventeen! I'm fourteen, and I vowed when I was thirteen to never have sex until marriage. It's a special thing that should be saved for your husband; not a toy to try out with every boy you see. And another thing: they drink. They're only seventeen, and they drink! The worst part? Their parents don't care, and some even encourage it!

2) THE UNREALISTICNESS. This book was completely unrealistic. Min's boyfriend, Tobias, has a puppy and treats it like a real child. He dresses him in clothes, feeds him people food, and even talks to him like a real kid. Sorry, but I think that's really stupid. I have a dog, and I don't treat it like I would a two-year-old. I treat it like a dog. Another thing that's unrealistic is the "fairy godmother" thing. There's no such things as fairy godmothers, and the only being that knows the future is God. Also, the book makes it seem like everyone is like these girls (swears all the time, has sex, drinks, etc.) when that's not true. Did you know that 50% of girls and 40% of guys leave high school without ever being on one date?

I hope that I help you in your descision not to read this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Book
Review: This book was one of the very best books i have read in a long time. I could relate so much to the girls and just like in harry potter you feel like your part of the book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An extremely funny book.
Review: Zola, Olivia, Min, and Sally are four girls who have just graduated high school. Even after a nightmarish prom night, they still believe they have their whole lives ahead of them to have fun. Until they meet their fairy godmother - who happens to be a guy! He shows them just what a nightmare their futures will be - unless they do something drastic to change their fates. But will they be able to make their futures brighter - or make an even bigger mess? This was the first book in a hilarious new series. I can't wait to read the next three books.
