How To Be Popular
How to Be Popular is a work of realistic fiction with a comedic twist that follows the story of Steph Landry, a girl determined to leave her awkward younger teenage years behind and achieve popularity in high school. Steph's decision to undergo a complete image makeover is triggered by profound embarrassment from previous years.
One day, Steph discovers a dusty old book titled How to Be Popular in her attic, supposedly written in the 1960s. Steph decides to literally follow all the advice in the retro guide, from how to dress and behave at parties to how to talk to boys. Initially, the plan seems to work; Steph starts receiving attention from the popular crowd, and even from the boy she has a crush on.
However, the main conflict arises because the advice from the old book is often outdated, insincere, or disastrous in the modern world. Steph struggles to balance her desire for acceptance with the necessity of remaining true to herself. The novel deeply explores themes of the value of authenticity, the pitfalls of phoniness, and the true definition of popularity—suggesting that being popular often means finding genuine friends who value you for who you are, rather than conforming to trends or social hierarchies.
