Product Description:
Little Miss Smarty-Pants is the true coming-of-age tale of a wallflower-turned-wiseass. Her journey from a dateless, geeky Barry Manilow fan in high school to a butt-kicking warrior begins in the 1980s when she meets her gay boyfriend in college. Their once-in-a-lifetime friendship is just the spark she needs to blossom into a sarcastic, sassy smarty-pants. Her experiences take her far from her sheltered, suburban childhood as she discovers a world of gay bars, drag queens, disastrous blind dates, deadbeat boyfriends, and the freakiest co-workers on the planet. Dr. Love, Balloon Animal Guy, Malcolm the Super Freak, The Tuscaloosa Turd, Joe Trailer, and Closet Girl are just a few of the characters who inhabit, and forever change, the world of Little Miss Smarty-Pants.

Coming of age tales usually focus on becoming a responsible, respectful member of society - not a sarcastic smarty pants. "Little Miss Smarty Pants" is a different sort of coming of age novel, filled with gay friends, drag queens, and a whole assortment of strange characters one encounters in life are what the protagonist faces in this quirky, offbeat novel. Riveting in it's hilarity from very first page to last, "Little Miss Smarty Pants" is highly recommended for community library fiction collections with a focus on chick lit.

Don't make the mistake I made in trying to read this book in public-You will be either laughing or crying or maybe both and people will start to wonder about your mental health! Suzanne Kopoulos has written a poignant book about her life, a brave and touching story that is completely engaging to the reader. I highly recommend this book!
Rated by buyers -
LITTLE MISS SMARTY-PANTS is touching and heart-breaking, while also being completely hilarious. I don't know that I have read another memoir that caused me to feel such a range of emotions. Kopoulos impressively bares her heart to the reader, but without overplaying or hiding behind the sad OR the funny experiences she has had. I enjoyed every page.
Rated by buyers -
Little Miss Smarty-Pants is a semi-biographical memoire about the life and love/friendship of the author. It was a very amusing and touching story, was very entertaining, and emotion provoking. For a very first shot at writing a book, this is one HELL of a BOOK. I recommend that any grown adult, especially those with "childhood baggage" should read this book and learn how to get over themselves with humor, love and understanding.
5 Stars.

Little Miss Smarty-Pants is very first the memoir I have laughed my way through most of. Suzanne Kopoulos really lets it all hang out. She didn't hold much, if anything, back. As you might expect, she did change the names. I give her a lot of credit. Granted I didn't have as diverse a life as Suzanne, but I couldn't sit down and write about my life like she has. Give Suzanne Kopoulos a gold star for guts!
She may be about 10 years older than I am, but I could relate to a lot of what she talks about in Little Miss Smarty-Pants. From a high-school boyfriend she calls Joe Trailer, whose only perceivable ambition in life was to own a double-wide trailer, to dying her hair the same orange-red as Lucille Ball. Suzanne develops a close friendship with a guy, Jack aka Pookie, while in her very first year of college in 1982; a friendship that lasts to this day.
Giving this book 5 stars was easy. A book that keeps me reading until well past 10pm (I didn't close the book until 1:30am the very first night/early morning) is rare. Suzanne made me cry, feel her pain (Dr. Love), laugh and a few other emotions all in 320 pages. Please give this book a chance!
