The Sweet Life #1

I have a confession to make. I bought and read all six of The Sweet Life e-books and never recapped them. Each book was a little more ridiculous than the last, and I think I was too annoyed to write reviews. The other day, while on a trip to pick up cleaning supplies from Dollar Tree, I found the hardback with all six e-books inside and decided to give it another try. Jessica is working for one of George Fowler's companies and is now in charge of marketing for some green cosmetics company. I always assumed the only green thing she cared about was making sure her hair didn't turn green from the chlorine in the swimming pool.

Jessica absolutely hates being a twin and is tired of people confusing her with Elizabeth, which is why she makes the insane decision to wear her twin's new dress to school. Everyone from Mr. Collins to Jeffrey and Lila get them confused. After giving it like three seconds of thought, she decides that she must make herself over and make her look nothing like her twin. Since Lila's dad is once again out of town, she spends the weekend there. They use wash out dye to dye her hair (and apparently her eyebrows from the looks of the cover) black. Lila loans her some new clothes her dad brought back from Europe and shows her how to style her hair and do her makeup like a European model. Jessica even affects a new accent to go along with her new look. Everyone seems to love it except for Liz. Her parents figure it's just another Jessica fade and basically ignore it, but Liz spends weeks moping and writing in her journal about how they no longer have anything in common.
