Review Praise for It’s All Your Fault:“Paul Rudnick is one of the funniest people out there and he’s on fire with It’s All Your Fault. This book is as fun and crazy as a wild night out. I had to know what happened next.” – Andy Cohen, host of Watch What Happens Live and New York Times bestselling author of The Andy Cohen Diaries: A Deep Look at a Shallow Year“Caution: Do not read in public. Will cause you to laugh (and possibly cry) out loud, sometimes at the same time. Screamingly funny and yet warmly touching. Buy multiple copies: You’ll want to share this one with friends.” – Meg Cabot, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Princess Diaries and Mediator series*“A culture clash on steroids. Rudnick’s affection for his flawed characters lends emotional depth to the skillful satire. Targets skewered include the symbiotic culture of narcissism binding celebrities and their fans, teen literary clichés, and Brooklyn. Hilarious, irresistible, and oh so timely.” – Kirkus Reviews, starred review“A laugh-out-loud, irreverent tale built on as much snarkiness as sweetness. Rudnick expertly melds the good and the bad of youth and Hollywood without going unbelievably over the edge. Eschewing common sense and exhibiting a great deal of heart, this is one riotously good read.” – Booklist“A whirlwind, laugh-a-minute escapade about a girl swept far outside her comfort zone, with real heart beneath the acid humor.” – Publishers WeeklyPraise for Gorgeous:”Gleefully wacky and irreverent . . . readers are treated to Rudnick’s considerable talents as a satirist as he uproariously eviscerates our celebrity-mad, class-conscious, appearance-obsessed, reality-TV-vapid culture with puckish delight . . . a wicked good time, with moments both outlandish and touching. And as a summer beach read? Well, it’s perfect.” — Libba Bray, New York Times Book Review”When I wasn’t laughing out loud (which was often), I was wiping away a tiny tear.”– Meg Cabot, bestselling author of The Princess Diaries series”Paul Rudnick is a champion of truth and love and great wicked humor, whom we ignore at our peril.” — David Sedaris, bestselling author of Me Talk Pretty One Day”Rudnick’s first Y.A. novel is full of magic, snark, style, heart, and hilarity.” — The Atlantic WireHuffington Post’s Five Things We’re Into This Week”Paul Rudnick’s generous, open heart, scathing wit, encyclopedic knowledge of pop culture and droll humor are all in force in his latest creation, Gorgeous, which is aptly named. I absolutely adored this book and snort-laughed through the entire thing. You will too.” — Melissa de la Cruz, bestselling author of the Blue Bloods series”Paul Rudnick’s young adult debut, Gorgeous, is not a fairy tale. “Because in real life, fairy tales always end badly.” What it is is a satire sharp as a stiletto heel that takes on celebrity culture, the fashion industry, consumerism, and princess stories. Oh, and it’s wickedly hilarious.” — Boston Globe*”With writing that’s hilarious, profane, and profound (often within a single sentence), Rudnick casts a knowing eye on our obsession with fame, brand names, and royalty to create a feel-good story about getting what you want without letting beauty blind you to what’s real.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review”Acute, wickedly funny observations on appearance and identity punctuate this sprawling, caustic fairy tale that cheerfully skewers the fashion and film worlds and their celebrity-culture spawn. . . . A Cinderella story with a difference, Becky’s journey to reconcile her inner household drudge and outer princess starts where most fairy tales end.” — Kirkus Reviews”Totally irreverent and wonderfully refreshing.” — RT Book ReviewsPraise for It’s All Your Fault:“Paul Rudnick is one of the funniest people out there and he’s on fire with It’s All Your Fault.

⭐ Book was in great condition, good book.

⭐ I said it about his earlier teen book GORGEOUS, I’ll say it here about IT”S ALL YOUR FAULT — Paul Rudnick has a beautiful heart that beats right along with his wicked satire. I know of no author — and I say this as someone who reads widely and a lot — who is better at taking the trinity of id,ego and superego and wrapping it up inside one young girl who, as they say, “acts it out.” Two girls actually. No, wait a minute, three. Each perfectly aligned and off-kilter with one another. A terrific book.

⭐ I love Paul Rudnick’s writing. This was not his best.

⭐ Started out really funny, but then wore out a little. But the funny parts were worth it! Love the descriptions!

⭐ The description on the back of the book was NOT what I was expecting to read. I had only 20 pages left in the book and I had to abandon it because it was just so bad. The main character is extremely annoying. I throughly did not enjoy this book.

⭐ I am a big fan of Paul Rudnick. And have always liked how he spins a tale. This one, came out of scholastic. But as an adult, I really liked it. There were a few laugh out loud moments. And I was sorry to see it end.

⭐ I didn’t finish it – sorry

⭐ Okay so to be honest, I am not sure what I just read. I mean I have read a lot of teen romance books with other genre integrated. I thought this book would be like girl is shy, home-schooled, and indoor type. That all changes because of her cousin’s wild spirit and one night. The cousin makes the main character experience life and tells her to have fun by introducing her to alcohol which leads to the main character to sing in front of an audience, getting a tattoo, nose pierced, stealing a car, and kissing a stranger. Then the main character sees the guy she kissed later on in the book and they get to know each other. At the end, guy and girl end up together and cousin and girl have a great relationship. THAT is what I thought the book was going to be about but it was not.The book is actually about a girl named Caitlin who comes from a large and very christian family. The family performs as a singing group at the malls and they are basically disclosed from the world. Therefore, Caitlin is extremely religious and this has nothing to do with religion, but her character is pious and stuck up. One day, Caitlin’s aunt shows up to ask Caitlin to be a guardian/role model for Caitlin’s cousin, Heller. Heller is an actress and is a wild one, who parties, drinks, and does drugs. Caitlin needs to keep an eye on Heller so that she does not do that for the weekend as there is a big movie promotion going on. Caitlin accepts the challenge to help her cousin change her evil ways.This is what the book is about. If you are looking for romance between boy and girl, this is not it. I mean there is some interest in that area but it is more like lust and does not move further than that. With that being said, this book is mostly about best friends and their relationship that needed to be amended. There are some parts that are comical but for me, I did not find them hilarious. I was kind of embarrassed. I also did not like the main character. Like I mentioned earlier, she is pious and very stuck up. I did not find her likeable or relateable, which might make one wonder how I read this book considering that the book is written in her point of view. Well for one: I paid for this book, two: I was passing time since I was waiting for my boyfriend to get out of his three hr class, and three: it is well written. The author is a great writer but this plot was not for me, so that is why, even though I am writing almost a negative review, I am not rating it one star.

⭐ From the chapter titles, to the last page, this book held me hostage. Once again Paul Rudnick came through with his ‘gorgeous’ humor that had me spraying my latte all over the kitchen table, barely missing my Kindle. As an ex-homeschool mum who floundered in the world of religious right wing radicals and tree hugging unschoolers, I can honestly say Rudnick nailed every cliche perfectly. The only downside to reading this book is knowing that I have to wait a while for Mr. Rudnick’s next fab story!

⭐ When I first read the description for It’s All Your Fault, I thought it would be a funny contemporary; something light to breeze right through. I was right that it was a funny–no hilarious contemporary, but it wasn’t always a light read, and I think that is what Paul Rudnick did the best when crafting the story of ultra-conservative Caitlin and her ultra-rebellious cousin Heller.Let’s talk writing really quick, because this is where I both loved and hated the book. Rudnick is the king of one-liners and rapid exchange. The dialogue that comes out of Heller’s, and Caitlin’s, mouth had me laughing out loud. Of course with this intense back and forth, the quips just keep coming and it’s great. I feel like I’m on a non-stop rollercoaster, which is needed because the things that happen in this book are somewhat stretching reality. But at the same time, there is A LOT OF CAPS USED TO EXPRESS THINGS. Both Caitlin and Heller, at one point or multiple points, yell throughout the book. I hate when ALL CAPS are used in books, because while I understand the want to really emphasize the crazy, I don’t need someone to shove it down my throat.But that is completely a personal thing of mine, and I can see how it works well in the context of this crazy story. Heller is the resident crazy famous girl, who did a stint in rehab and is now being baby-sat by her uptight Jesus-loving cousin, Caitlin. Obviously these two girls consistently bash heads because their lives couldn’t be more different. Throw in all the crazy promo stuff that Heller has to do for her new movie, think a Twilight/The Hunger Games level franchise for the movies, and shenanigans happen. The plot and the dynamic between the two are really what makes this book so fun. While sometimes you have to suspend disbelief, it works.I feel like this book is in a way Rudnick’s commentary on pop culture and how crazy both the conservative side and liberal side of people can be when it comes to celebrity or being a “good Christian”. Also, the additions to the book that highlight pop culture are really the best. There’s a particular scene that really captures all the feels us book lovers go through when reading a particularly heart-wrenching book that just had me laughing so much. Then, of course, there are other things like the three little girls named Katniss, Hermione, and Bella, and the clear reference to the “cancer book”; we all know what book that is.But even with all the crazy that happens, underneath it all is really a story of cousins, and how they deal with their issues with each other and with themselves. There are some heavy themes in the book, like drinking, drugs, OCD, anxiety attacks, that are prevalent but never lingered on for very long. This helps keep the story light, but also helps ground it in reality amidst the circus that Caitlin and Heller’s three days become. I think without this aspect I wouldn’t have liked the book at all because it would have been just too crazy.Overall, this was a very fun book, full of madcap hijinks. The fast-pacing makes you fly through the book and the humor never lets up, even in the more serious times which I really loved. I think this is a must needed addition to any humor collection, whether it be YA or Adult because it is so funny and current. With It’s All Your Fault in hand, you won’t have a dull moment.
