This was the first audio book I've listened to in a long time, which i think colored some of my experience. Overall, I liked the story and the themes of friendship. The shenanigans that happen with the beauty pageant are very accurate to the young adult style. I liked Chicky's voice and sisters a lot. I was confused, however, by Lita being made of stardust. There was nothing in the description about it, so when it was first mentioned, I thought it was a metaphor. I honestly thought it was for a majority of the story. I wasn't against it, but it would've been nice to know about that fantasy element going into the story. 

For the audio book aspect, I think the voice actors did a great job. I was listening to the cd version, and I didn't love that the cds sometimes split chapters in the middle to switch cds.
