"Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen is about Lola (Mary) Cep. Her mother makes her family move from New York City to a small town in New Jersey called Dellwood. Lola meets a girl named Ella who turns out to be her best friend. Lola battles Carla Santini, who seems to rule the school.
Lola and Ella hear the news that their favorite band, Siddhartha, is going to break up! But when they go to school, they hear about Siddhartha's last goodbye concert. Carla of course has to go to the concert for bragging rights, even though she doesn't even like the band, but Lola and Ella absolutly have to see Siddhartha's last concert. They have an "interesting" experience in New York, but even though they really did meet Stu Wolff, Siddhartha's lead singer, no one believes them because Carla lies to everyone."

"Teenage Drama Queen Mary (or Lola, as she prefers to be called) is forced by her mother to move from her native New York City to the small town of Dellwood in New Jersey. An aspiring actress, Lola greatly misses all of the opportunities and culture that New York had to offer. She does however, befriend a girl in her classes, Ella, and get the lead role in the school's production of Pygmalion. The most popular girl in school, Carla, wanted that role for herself, and decides to make Lola's life miserable by flaunting the fact that she has tickets to the big Sidhartha farwell concert and party. Sidhartha is Lola's favorite band, but her mother won't let her go all the way to New York alone. It seems that she has no hope of going, but Lola is intent on getting her and Ella into that concert to show Carla up."
