Reception
editA review in Publishers Weekly called Prada and Prejudice "a fast-reading, playful novel", noting its humor and themes of feeling out of place.[1] Donna Miller, writing for the Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, praised the novel for its moral lessons about popularity and peer pressure but considered the plot to be clichéd.[2] Jennifer Schultz agreed that "some aspects of the book and character traits are stock and predictable" in a review for the School Library Journal, but nevertheless found the novel entertaining and humorous.[3] Irene Cooper of Booklist stated that "if you don't look too closely, there is fun to be had here".[4]
