Changes

If I had to put an age on it, I'd recommend this for top juniors and the first few years of secondary school. It's a tough one due to the range of topics covered although the language is not a problem and confident primary school readers I'm sure could enjoy it. There's advice in the book that I identify with and may, as a 20-something, even take on board (dealing with stress, the importance of preparation, career planning, why you should never underestimate the power of a hit ballad and a bubble bath) and these areas are covered in a relatively mature way that I'm sure 6th formers could relate to. At the same time, I found the chapter on relationships with boys in particular seemed to be pitched at a, let's say, more innocent age range. Lola is 14 years old which I suppose is a guide that girls up to and about this age would be the perfect audience. All this taken into account, it's an interesting entry onto the teen/tween book market and I'm sure it will be popular, especially with the more pink and sparkly girls out there, and those who would like to be more pink and sparkly than they currently are.
