- Today we're taking an in-depth look at Lele Pons' terrible book: #SurvivingHighschool : Do it For The Vine: A Novel - it's sadly just as bad and unfunny as her TH-cam videos.

"Why does she act like a teenager?"
Because, my friend, she peaked in highschool. So she wants to relive that. Specifically senior year, I believe, according to that interview.
No she peaked at whatever age she is now. Do you realize how much money she’s probably made off of her merch, TH-cam channel, books and interviews?
@@galacticlavalamp6338 Ok, but it started her senior year. She was(and is) rewarded for her behavior and thusly never changed
@@galacticlavalamp6338 she prob peaked in terms of societal norms and how many irl people ACTUALLY liked her
Well then yeah she may be rich now but people don’t really like her. She’s sort of like Onision, the only reason he has views and money is because people hate him
Roo Bard my thoughts precisely
She’s so obsessed with her “long thick blonde hair” because she’s actually a natural brunette with hair extensions 🤭
Kalei Valery this comment almost made me pass away from laughter, well done 😂
Kalei Valery I’m crying omg
also thick? lmao they look like those strands corn have that u gotta clean off or like that busted doll angelica from rugrats had
She gives me the same vibes as those terrible wattpad fan fiction Mary sues. Like "I pulled my blonde hair into a messy bun and quickly ran down the stairs to see Justin Beiber standing at my front door," kind of fanfic Mary sue
@@axthxrn Yes very, "How could anyone like a nerdy girl like me with my curves (big boobs and an ass), mousey brown hair (thick with a body wave), glasses and loooove of books." Vibes
"I wore braces and last season's clothes two sizes too big. ... My struggle was real." Is all too reminiscent of "You think your life is hard? I'm a high school junior wearing size 13 Nike's. MENS size 13 Nike's." Yikes.
Can tell some old man who hasn't seen a teen girl since they were a teen has finally decided teen girls are a valuable market but everything he knows about them is from shitty boomer memes.
Reading "last season's clothes" like bruh I have a hoodie I still wear that I've had since middle school... I'm 20 lmao
Yeah I wear the same shirts I’ve had for years and I’m in high school. I’ve got waaaay bigger problems.
That's exactly the comparison I made
I wish that had been the bulk of my problems in high school. That would have been great.
Basically, Lele's a bully trying to defend her toxicity and false insecurity.
@brandon roberts lmfaooooo true tho
yeah but noo but yeah im a bully but no like tara is more like mean
Accurate
This book sucks now, but it's gonna be hilarious in a decade or two when people are looking for cringey things from this era.
It might be one of those toilet readers.
Crappy TH-camr books are going to be the 2010s equivalent of those cringy 50s educational films that Mst3k made fun of.
Nobody will remember
;)
@@Laura-ct9un We can only hope 0_0
Watching in 2022. I wonder when the cutoff is because it's still so cringey...
She’s trying to write in the style of the princess diaries but lacks the comedy, narrative and character development
And writing skills in general
@@hhh-bu3qj and skills in general*
and the braincells
1,000th like! You’re welcome
And any redeeming qualities that could possibly make her a good writer.
Me, aged 20, wearing adult braces: Ugh screw you, Lele
Lol yes!
No shame
Hate it when people take care of themselves after middle school
Noodle Poodle, right! I’m such a loser, aghhh!
P.S. Thanks for all the likes guys 💕🥺
no shame. im turning eighteen soon and ive had braces for the past seven years. lets be metal mouthed together
So in conclusion?
Dialogue: 10/10
"Wokeness": 10/10
Not Like Other Girls: 100/10
Cringe: 0/10
Book: 15/10 Would recommend and then some
@@sparklescatt369 It's not satire, but it is a sarcastic joke. I'm pretty sure satire requires a bit more social commentary and finesse.
"Heart eyes emoji" should never have entered a book ever
Except in the speech of a fictional character on social media, that is.
Goomatora I’m 14 and can write better than LeLe Pons without even trying
She acts like everything is a personal attack on her. I wasn't going to say anything until she went after lunch ladies. Respect your lunch ladies >:(
Edit: You were puzzled by the name bit where Lele tries to explain her name to Coach Washington. In the States, the "eh"s she uses aren't said like "ey". They just sound like the short sound of the letter e.
lol that catholic school bit was just like the poison for kuzco meme im weeping
the catholic school. the catholic school for lele, the catholic school chosen especially to educate lele, lele's catholic school
- That Catholic school?
- YES, THAT CATHOLIC SCHOOL!
😂
Haha so true!
As a teenager, this book is just kind of insulting.
Agreed
And as a HIGH SCHOOL female, I hate this
this book is insulting to everyone. Teenagers, latine people, women, lunch ladies, Catholics in general, everyone. Imagine kids growing up with this idea of high school, and not latine kids growing up with her idea of a "latine person"
As a sophomore, I agree. I really don’t like the idea of Lele “representing” us
Can confirm, am teenager
I haven't heard "on fleek" out loud since 2013
Especially not unironically
Language changes too fast for some people's tastes.
@Paulie Doodle
F
Yes, I can see you definitely don't have the Lele-ness. But don't worry when you start having long and thick blond hair and your struggle was SO deep because you wore - god forbid - clothes from last season that are too big you will get to the point of Lele-ness
I heard this being said in like 2017. 😂 By one person who was talking about eyebrows
The dog was like "yeah get her sis"
The fun part about authors being “real” in their novels is whenever they say something completely awful, they ain’t getting off the hook.
If I wrote like this, (I write fanfiction) I'd be laughed off the internet.
She'd get away with in in some of the anime fandoms. Also some of the smaller fandoms get away with it because of pure desperation.
There are a lot of really good writers in fandom though. The stereotype doesn't really fit the reality. You just have to know how to navigate to find the good stuff.
@@toamouse5946 some anime fandoms can be brutal lol
Fanfiction takes skill though. Unless you're writing really off the rails AUs you have make your story fit with the personality traits of established characters. They have to be recognizable to the fandom and most of the time people looking for fanfictions are the most loyal and let's face it nit-picky fans. Sometimes you have to be incredibly intimate with plot details and the world building. What I am getting at here is that fanfiction takes research and effort. I dont know what the fuck LeLe Pons was writing but even the worst fanfiction would be better.
Yeah, I’m writing a fanfic epic right now and it is soooo hard. I have respect for ANYONE who can write good fanfic because it is so hard, for all the reasons you just said.
@@charliebwilde8963 i confirm, "My Immortal" is at least entertaining
One of her struggles was apparently being a Latina in a high school in Miami. Miami high schools are like 90% Latino so I don’t know what kind of struggle she’s talking about
NotSoBigBoss completely. I live in miami, really close to the school she attended, and her story is laughable
exactly, that situation with the kid asking her 'why do you talk so weird?' Like he never heard spanish before or at least an accent is laughably stupid
People in Miami barely speak English idk why she’s trying to be special.
@@lunalluna9401 Hear me out: I believe that "why do you talk weird?" incident happened, BUT NOT because the dude had somehow been living in the core of the earth & managed to have never come across a genuine Spanish accent IN THE MIDDLE OF MIAMI before- I think Lele (even now) speaks in such an affected, false "gUys I'm LaTinA" accent that I can well believe he mistook her for a white girl putting on an exaggerated accent to fit in or something.
That's because she wasn't THE Latina everyone wanted because she's from Venezuela and most people in Miami are Cuban, Puerto Rican, but I guess she was the ONLY Venezuelan.
If Riverdale had worse writing it would only vaguely scrape the monstrosity that is this book.
What's the name of the actress on your profile?
ekta tinu Audrey Hepburn
To be fair about the bra thing, a lot of girls do "have to" wear them. A lot of schools mark girls for dress code violations for not wearing bras or for not wearing them "the right way". I was 12 when I was pulled out of gym class and told I couldn't come back until I was wearing a bra. My mom had to take off work and go buy me training bras that day and I remember hating them so much and hating that I was the only girl who had to wear one. It felt so humiliating to be singled out like that and be basically shamed for my natural body. I'm definitely not alone in this. It's very common that girls are singled out for things like this in schools and body-shamed for the way they naturally are. And, what's worse is that it's sold to us as "distracting the boys" and "attracting the wrong kind of attention", like it's our fault. I basically just wore loose men's t-shirts and sweatpants all through junior high and most of high school because I got sick of people commenting on my body for one reason or another. It's pretty fucked that girls have to go through these kinds of things.
Jenn T
Yeah It’s awful and needs to stop.
well said. same exact situation when i was in 5th grade and i still feel embarrassment when thinking about that day
That really sucks, you shouldn't have had to feel that way at all.
Your Mom immediately took the day off work to buy you a bra from gym class that very day? Sorry but what kind of bullshit is that?
@juicy satsuma Yeah, it was bullshit that my mother had to take half a day off of work with time she didn't have to buy me bras with money she didn't have so I could be allowed to go to school again and get an education. You can call it fake if it makes you feel better, but sometimes shitty things just happen and pretending they don't because you'd prefer they didn't is both cowardly and just contributing to the problem that allows them to exist.
So I have a self-insert character in one of my stories, but she's intended to be an antagonistic caricature of the awful person I was in high school. I'm going to use Lele's character as inspiration for making my character intentionally cringy and unlikable.
The World of Oceanblue Art
🤣 It might be the next umbridge if you do that.
@@arandomuser9459 How dare you, Umbridge doesn't deserve to be compared to Esperanza
The World of Oceanblue Art
😂 Okay so maybe I was exaggerating a bit. Though I must say the idea of having a self insert antagonist is very cool.
@@arandomuser9459 Nah, I was joking about Esperanza being worse than Umbridge
The World of Oceanblue Art
I’m sure. Nobody’s worse than umbridge. Well maybe a few but that’s still up for debate.
One thing I did not know about Lele Pons is that if you do a search for her in Bing. The little bio on the right says she is 2 feet 3 inches, which I find fascinating.
There's a special filter on Wikipedia dedicated to catching edits like this made by trolls to articles of people they don't like. 2 ft 3 in tall, weighs 1000 pounds, that sort of stuff. They're really annoying because unlike when some idiot scans his own arse and uploads the picture on the "Holocaust" article, this kind of vandalism is sneaky and can stay undetected for a while.
Paulie Doodle Epic
Maybe that's just the size of her D
For a 14 year old girl with no social media accounts and no cell phone, saying "heart-eyes emoji" as a means to express yourself is especially bizarre 🤔
Edit because I'm not sure anyone understood what I meant lol:
I am not 14, I am 25. I'm saying in the book Lele claims that the character (or, her younger self I guess) is a 14 year old girl with no social media accounts and no cell phone. So I'm not saying "from my perspective as a 14 year old girl with no social media or cell phone I think what she said is weird," what I'm saying is that since the character has no social media and no cell phone, why would she even think of heart-eyes emojis as a way to express herself since she obviously never uses emojis.
Anyway, I'm not saying that the people commenting on this understood my comment wrong, I just wanted to clarify just in case lol
Lemon B as a 15 year old girl with several social media accounts and a cell phone, saying heart- eyes emoji to express yourself is still extremely bizarre 😬
As a 16 year old girl ... Im just as confused and leles writing this as an aDuLt
As a seventeen year old girl... yup
@@ultravioletcadillac9952 As a seventeen year old girl
I wholeheartedly support this message.
As a human who breathes oxygen, Lele Pons is extremely bizarre
Oh, yeah. There are kids getting kicked out of their homes and shunned by their families for being gay or trans but wearing braces is so much worse. *eye-roll*
I'm already annoyed.
Koivu nen yeah I didn’t hate my braces. Buuuut I hate wearing my glasses.
Me: has a perfectly happy life with braces
Lele Pons: *surprised pikachu face*
Mmmm, I'm a native speaker of Spanish, her "Umbrella" explanation of how to pronounce Lele makes no sense. I cry for the trees that died to become that 🤦🏻♀️
Idk it made sense to me, but she didn't explain it very well. Basically she was saying to pronounce it like you would pronounce "Lele" in Spanish. Like the e in hem or myself
@@amiliar2656 your examples are way better
This is so weird when you're like a real native speaker
The only way yo explain It is yo just say Lele, like hard L? No your English soft L, idk this is weird. Like Leg, but Lele
It makes you think it's Lela not Lele 😂
It made sense to me. The lyrics are from a Rihanna song. When Rihanna goes "under my umbrella ella ella EH, EH, EH. That EH EH sound can be used to pronounce LeLe (LEH LEH) correctly. She explained it badly and it can be confusing if you don't know that song or Spanish.
I tried to set my expectations when Rachel said she had low expectations and was disapointed... and I didn't set my expectations low enough. I don't think it is physically possible to set the bar so low, and yet have this book crawl under it, but somehow it does.
The only way to go under the bar for this book would be to become liquid
uh oh Well, it IS piss.
Lele: goes on for multiple pages about how she’s not good with words Also lele: writes a book and expects people to think it’s great literature
Kyra’s eyes show how much she loves you and it’s beautiful
Lele: I love being a girl because I can wear beautiful dresses.
Lele: I hate being a girl because everything is about fashion.
30:44 As someone who wore braces for around four years, you are doing something seriously wrong if you manage to get them caught in someone else's clothing
say it LOUDER for the ppl in the back✌🏻
It is wierd if I say that has actually happened to me a couple of times? 😂 😂
gisha reji HOW
@@cronchee basically the seam of the cloth will have strings coming out get hooked when i accidentally run my braces over em
@@gishareji5958 Why are your teeth so close to someone else's clothing in the first place?
I mean maybe I have an idea of why, but I doubt that's what you meant.
This legit reads like if a Baby Boomer was given the task to write a novel from the point of view of a Gen-Z'er. Seriously, how can someone only a few years out of teenagerhood write in such a cringily un-real-life-teen-like manner? It's like she peaked in some alternate-reality high school that's hilariously out of touch with the real world, and now she's teleported here to talk about it while pretending to still be 17. Her novel persona is so unlikable, and ironically stereotypical for trying to portray herself as a "not like other girls" type, not to mention a Mary Sue to the extreme. She's _so_ awkward and bullied, and yet a hot foreign guy becomes her friend and takes off his shirt in front of her on the first day of meeting him. She brags about herself in one breath and then acts like her whole life is so hard in the next. Plus, as someone who has longer hair than she likely has, it is really not that hard to take care of properly. Just shampoo and condition regularly, and be gentle in brushing it. It takes me like two minutes tops to brush all my hair out, even when wet, if I just go slowly and methodically through it. I've never heard of Lele Pons before now but she sounds like a total joke if this book is anything to go by.
Lele Ponds idea of "dark days" is the entitled latina equivalent of that netflix show Tall Girl 😂
But at least in Tall Girl she was an outcast who we kinda root for, while Lele admits to having been a bully in real life. How embarrassing
First off: you look incredibly beautiful. That colour suits you.
Second: could you please review the onision trilogy. I know it's going to be difficult and disgusting, but I would thoroughly enjoy watching you rip his awful writing to shreds.
Love your videos!
Krimson Rogue did as well. I enjoyed both.
@@bi_cycle
Other ones include Michelle Michaelis, Tater Tatiana, and Kappa Kaiju
I'll be sure so check them out
You wanna kill her?
Have you ever thought about reviewing Onision's novels? They're hilariously terrible and I'd love to see your take on them.
stargazingduckling she already has I believe
@@ryp2669 I don't think she has? I tried searching "rachel oates onision" and it doesn't look like she's done any videos on him.
Ry P might be thinking of Strange Aeon’s reviews
Musical Brit that’s what I was thinking of 🤦♀️ sorry
stargazingduckling oh god do we REALLY want to subject her to onision’s book(s)? Besides, our goth mom Strange Aeons covered them in quite a satisfying way.
I HAVENT EVEN WATCHED THE VIDEO YET BUT YOUR HAIR LOOKS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
Sara but what is going on with the roots? I can’t figure out if it’s shine or grown out/undyed roots.... unfortunately to me it looks like it was a home box dye job which sucks because she is so pretty and this is distracting
I used a new brand of dye I’m not familiar with and while the lengths turned out as I wanted, the roots didn’t end up as dark as I would have liked and the lighting makes them stand out like crazy. (Riots were previously grown out and not dyed but the lengths had been so I wanted to make them dark brown / purple) I’m going to fix it later this week. I mean it was done at home from a box though... I can’t afford getting it done at a hairdressers 🤷🏻♀️
@@RachelOates As someone who only dyes their hair at home: Your hair looks absolutely amazing and don't let anyone tell you it's not as great because it wasn't done by a hair dresser!
Rachel Oates I can see how it’s not what you wanted at the roots, but the main color is gorgeous. Also don’t let anyone shame you for doing your own hair, I’ve been doing it for 16 years and yeah I’ve made mistakes or had things turn out a bit different than planned, but I’ve heard salon horror stories too soooo...I’d rather mess up myself than pay a fortune to have someone else do it for me lol (no shade to hair dressers, I know a lot of them are great and do amazing work).
@@reneeleese nothing wrong with box dye. It's not like hairdresser dye is some special thing, it's the same stuff you can get at Sally's. Unfortunately sometimes dye just doesn't stick correctly.
Me, a borderline with generalized anxiety disorder, major depression, 7 suicide attempts, ex addict, recovered anorexic, 5 psych hospitalizations.
Lele poms: the struggle was deep. Because I wore braces and I wasn't always this sexy.
Ah yes. I can see the struggle.
Aina Paavola GO YOU FOR RECOVERING!!!
i get that this comment was a joke but also i hope you’re okay and recovering well! sending love and support
same tho about the psych hospitalizations
Me, chronic depression, anxiety disorder, eating disorder, raised in a cult and nearly committing suicide. Ah, yes, Lele. Your fashion debacle was such a struggle.
Congratulations on your recovery, my friend. Stay strong 💙
@@brigidscaldron thank you ! It deff wasn't easy.
The early 20 year old stars who make vids about school could AT LEAST make them about college. That’s the school they’d experience anyways.
Except they probably don't attend college or university 😂
Please don’t intentionally make it shorter for future chapters. I’m here to hear you roast the book
same, ill watch a 90 minute video just to listen to her roast the hell out of the entire book
The only way I am able to sit through lele's hubris is because of Kyra smiling at her mum. It's so precious!
Guy walks by Lele in the hallway and gives a simple "Hi"
Lele: Oh, he wants to marry me!
Honestly I'm wondering if we're witnessing the rise (and fall) of psycopathic & narcissistic youtube writers. I can see a lot of similarity both in the writing style and structures of Lele's and Greg's (onision) books.
- both seem to have quite minimal descriptions of the environment, like they don't seem to have the motivation to let reader into the scene, or they don't realize their writing will look uninteresting without description.
- extreme lack of sympathy and empathy towards most if any characters by the main character. Only sexual or other beneficial reasons make the main character to "care" about another character, but not really _care_ about them for other than these superficial reasons.
- the main character seems very narcissistic, can't take critique, also quite a mary sue. Even the "weaknesses" of the main character are somehow cool. There's also heavy implication the main character is the writer (the way they see themselves).
- everyone and everything is against the main character for no apparent reason - could reflect their lack of ability to reflect their own disrespectful/violent behavior, thus they just see the part when everyone else is disrespectful/violent towards them, for "no reason".
- the story overall seems a bit childish and emotionally immature. Maybe the reason they feel it more natural to write about teenage life instead of life closer to their actual age?
- the writer themselves seem to have no doubt about the book being good (narcissist trait), hence the lack of proofreading and/or second opinions before publishing, so the book will look unfinished, incoherent and raw. If it's not appreciated, the fault is on the readers ;)
@@ambrosia_fragments I have to check that out!
I've watched a couple takedowns of Onision's writing recently, and I totally agree with you.
what a hot (and accurate) take. i was thinking the same thing but you worded it so much better than i would have.
@Paulie Doodle that's possible. Or the other way around, people who struggle with their personality, find an easier forum trough social media.
"She sat alone in a corner of a dark room. A storm was raging outside."
mm, *sips earl grey and adjusts monocle- I prefer it when they say a storm was raging inside but to each their own

@@Christina-sj1wc lmao
So much "I'm not like other girls" syndrome
bneisasmiler
Yeah I don’t know much about her but she seems like the human version of that.
You didn't put it in the thumbnail, so I wasn't prepared for the HAIR. It's such a gorgeous colour!
She says she had no friends, but didn’t she include a bunch of different people in her vines, even early ones? Granted maybe not her very first ones, but if she was such a “loser” with “no friends,” how does she have many people filming her and acting w her? If she was bullied, I doubt she would even go up to ppl and ask them to film her, and if she did, I doubt they’d say yes since they were bullies. I’m just so confused, but I haven’t seen many of her very very early vines so idk for sure, I remember watching her on vine when she was still in HS tho, and they contained a lot of ppl. Also I understand feeling the need to do certain things as a girl in high school to be “acceptable” but god she makes it sound so annoying, plus she can just do that stuff now but doesn’t seem to
I have the same doubt. One day red something (dont remember it well)that she was "bullied" before Vine.
Creating a fantasy world where she’s the valiant, trodden on underdog I guess
24:41 As an incredibly feminine cisgender woman, NONE OF THIS IS WHAT BEING A GIRL IS ABOUT!! You can have glamourous long hair and wear cute dresses and still not identify as a woman. Also, none of those negatives are things you HAVE to do if they make you so uncomfortable. -Also trans men exist but I do get that she meant being a cis woman.-
as a mildly feminine trans man: NONE OF THIS IS WHAT BEING A GIRL IS ABOUT????
As a semi-androgynous cisgender woman: NONE OF THIS IS WHAT BEING A GIRL IS ABOUT!!
As another mildly feminine trans guy: that’s not what being a girl is all about istg, there are feminine men and masculine girls and there’s a lot of overlap between styles and gender has nothing to do with it ahhhbhvfcfcfctft also the problems she described could also be shared by trans guys??? Like peeing sitting down??? And closeted trans guys wear bras??? And if you bind with sports bras like I do that’s 10x worse than the feeling Cis girls get wearing regular bras
Also my hair is short and straight but when I wake up in the morning it looks terrible and it takes forever to fix so I mean Lele is very wrong about things being easier for guys
when Lele talked about long beautiful hair as being basic girl stuff i, a straight girl with a short hair cut, got a tad bit irritated. hair length doesn't mean anything.
Nope, you're not the only one who likes wearing bras, I find them super comfortable. Great hair by the way!
Siri Pleijel I mean, you wear them long enough where you get to a point that you feel uncomfortable without them...
I sleep in my bra lol
Caitlin Crisp
Same. I have day bras and night/sleep bras, lol. Probably overboard but I have big boobs - refer to them as The Bench - and it’s more comfortable than leaving them flopping about.
I mean I can't stand sports bras but regular bras when they fit are alright.
It's all about size. The support is nice, though I will admit that the straps hurt my back after a while.
"kids are insecure and pick on those who look different..." Yeah, so I might go to a weird high school, but I'm a senior who wears Victorian style clothes in mundane life (think Bernadette Banner) and medieval style for other occasions, and I get a fair amount of compliments from my peers, and I've only garnered two insults based on my appearance in the three years of dressing in such a way (one insult was from a stupid nazi kid anyway, and the second was from an ex-friend who I recently found out committed sexual assault against a true friend of mine, so. Not exactly opinions I think highly of anyway). If Lele's true experience in high school was like what she describes, I truly pity her, but I highly, highly doubt she is telling any form of truth.
That's really awesome. I'm still working up the courage to dress more victorian / vintage like in public
What you are going for is clearly a LOOK, and I suspect you carry it with confidence. If, on the other hand, one is wearing something one doesn't feel confident in, bullies do seem to be able to sense that. So I'd say it's not just that they feel insecure and therefore find someone different to pick on, it's that they try to feel strong by attacking a point of weakness.
@@emilymoran9152 ah, that makes a lot of sense.
I respect you so much.
Bullies target those who are nervous and insecure. Rock your look and no one can touch you
This is something I could have read on Wattpad by a 13 year-old "author"... I am pretty sure that I must have seen SO many of these several years ago with the exact same plot; just instead of Vine it was XYZ lol
Brookii280
Yeah. Most wattpad stories are like this and suck. There are some good ones though.
I don’t find bras uncomfortable most the time either. I always thought I was super weird
do you have smaller boobs? usually girls with bigger chests have more pain with bras bc there's so much more to support
A lot of women aren't properly fitted. If you're wearing the right size they should be comfortable
The use of hashtags on frickin' paper made me want to coin one: #HashtagsAreNotPunctuation.
The only place where hashtags don't look totally unprofessional is Twitter.

I'm pretty sure her poor co-author has written like 50 terrible YA novels. She's doing fine.
lele: i’m not good with words
also lele: iT’s SpEaK, nOt TaLk #grammar
Oh no. Another lyrical disaster...at this point TH-camrs should just be banned from writting books.
(exept the books are good of course)
And Kyra the Staffie
Eh some of them are alright- Dodie's book is pretty sweet..
That last scene where he takes his shirt off and high fives her after peeing feels like something an alien who doesn't understand decent human interactions would write lol
Are you telling me that’s not the case?
*I dare you to read Onion Boy’s book*
Make that plural my dude
God, she’s really suffer for us, wouldn’t she?
“ a boy with Blue, Spiky haired made fun of me”
Relax LeLe, it’s just Sonic, he’s like this with everyone! It’s worse if you have red dreadlocks or spiked black and red hair, but you’ll live!
It’s basically a book about insulting other people, while asking for pity
If your bra is uncomfortable it doesn't fit.
Find someone who looks at you the way Rachel’s dog looks at her 🥺5:39
I was like 12 when I got my first cell phone. I didn't even want one but my mom insisted for safety. I ended up agreeing.
Jaded Sweetness I got mine right before I turned 12 because I had to walk to a club meeting and it was necessary for me to be able to contact my mom
I got mine around 5th-6th grade(? I think?). It was a flip-phone and I only used it to call my parents in emergencies and play shitty flip phone games lol. I think I got my first smartphone at around 8th grade.
I’m 15 and don’t even have a phone. I’ll get one in a year or so maybe.
@@arandomuser9459 Honestly I would recomend if only for safety. It's good to knwo you can call for help if you need to.
@@johannapipoli8397 Makes sense
I literally can't fathom why a person would pay money for this
That youtube content .. or self torture
Masochism
LOVE the hair! I don’t care about Lele Pons but it’s always a pleasure to listen to you dissect this kind of drivel. Very entertaining! Thank you for your sacrifice
this book sounds atrocious, respect for going through it with keeping your sanity. and your hair is fabulous 😍😍💁heart-eyes emoji!
There is so much love in Kyra’s eyes when she looks at you! Such a cute doggo!!!!
Me: "Wow, Bella Swan is a Mary Sue"
Lele: "Hold my beer"
Larissa Børglum I actually found Jacob to be more of the Mary Sue
@@christie8493 nah edward is a total mary-sue
tbh the whole trio (Bella, Edward, Jacob) were Mary Sue/Gary Stus
Almost everyone in Twilight is a Mary Sue or Gary Stu.
She asked V (BTS Boyband Member) for his number in one of the award shows...he gave her his manager's number!
So does she expect us all to pretend she's a natural blonde?
Big oof.
your hair is beautiful and i love the monochromatic matching makeup
I love hearing “monochromatic” used casually in a scentence
The ego on lele is so cringing
If it was possible to die from bringing her book should registered as a WMD
Kyra is so completely in love with you, it's so sweet and endeerong to watch. What a smoochy pooch 💕
I know I’ll late but I read the endearong out loud and laughed my ass off
What's the point of having a ghost writer if they can't even keep tenses consistent??? It switches from past to present tense constantly and it's driving me crazy
Another good fictionalised character is from “The Things They Carried” Not to distract from the content of your video, but your hair colour is so lovely!
My MLP self-insert fanfiction is better than this book.
I need to read your fanfiction
This is the most shallow, vapid piece of "literature", it hurts.
This sounds like my writing when I was fourteen and had absolutely no idea how to do it, I feel bad for the poor ghostwriter.
Also, your hair looks amazing!!!
Oh man I feel like she's reading the "book" I wrote when I was 13
Edit: after watching the whole thing I feel like I was too harsh on my 13 year old writing
5:25 I want a lady someday that looks at me the way Kyra-bean looks at Rachel (such a cute puppy)
"...she's half-trying to do it to be funny and failing."
Lele's post-Vine career in a nutshell.
One thing she got though: "Leh leh" makes sense if you don't pronunce the e english. In Umbrella, Rihanna sings eh eh eh, not ey.
Anyways, the rest of this video shows that this little bit doesn't save anything :D
Hannah Lehmann there is no difference. Eh eh eh in the umberella song sounds the same as Ey Ey Ey
“eh” has a softer sound than “ey” which is more anuncianted. this could also be an accent thing. i’m from michigan, near detroit and canada, and there’s definitely a subtle but still noticeable difference between the two pronunciations.
@@beccahochanadel3907
I'd put a letter in front to be able to tell the difference.
Hay or heh.
May or meh.
Lei or leg.
(Not the same spellings with "ey" or "eh", but they sound the same.)
"Ey" sounds like the long "a", while "eh" sounds like the short "e", at least where I live (Texas).
Why was this worse then Lilly’s?
*than
Because at least Lilly was trying to do *something* with hers, and even if it wasn’t that good of an attempt there was something there
Lele's humblebrags are even less subtle.
Oh dang, I got likes for this
Here in the UK 50 years ago. Mrs Thomas, head school cook told at 62 she has to retire. A bunch of us kids were upset seeing her crying. We 8 year olds,were told Mrs T was too old, to by our headmaster.
That's it ! I'm trying now thinking now how we barged into the headmaster's office and held him hostage until the decision was reversed.
In truth parents were told and Mrs T was given a other 6 months and an article in the local paper about her pride in feeding us kids since the forties when she started .
a) Rachel, I LOVE YOUR HAIR COLOR. So flipping cute!
2) I so want a part two. Kind of a "how not to write a story". Plus, your commentary is hilarious and so on point.
$) It is fitting that Kyra joined you in the video since she is also a writer. 😁😁😁
She thought it was already terrible... Just wait for the other chapters, it progressively gets much worse
I took a look Kyra's wish list, iust for the fun of it. I'm curious though, who wants the pink summer dress more? Kyra or Rachel?
your dog coming and sitting next to you at the beginning was cute she’s adorable
"words escape me" because they all have PTSD after being used in this... thing...
"I'm sad, why don't people like me!" "Because you're different and you don't care what they think"
... those are opposing sentiments? Like what?
Lele doesn't know the struggle of having actual hard to pronounce names. One of my friends do and even though it bothers her a lot, she never behaves rudely to someone who pronounced it wrong.
Ugh I hate that she put “do it for the vine” in her book title. That was such a fun and wholesome trend/celebration at the time.
Edit: Your hair and lipstick match perfectly 💜
"With Melissa de la Cruz". Damn even Lele's ghostwriter is Latina!
The lunch lady thing made me SO FREAKING MAD I love my lunch ladies to death. They are the sweetest people on the planet earth.
Lol, I put in 0 effort into my looks and I wear sports bras cuz I'm tired of bras
Haven’t been watching much lately because I’m busy prepping for my wedding, but just wanted to say you’re killing it lately Rachel! :)
That "you mean speak" scene sounds like one of those tumblr posts where someone sends themselves anon hate just so they can use a "clever" clapback
3:45 Ancient Greek philosophers (Plato) would have referred to this essence as the 'psyche' - they didn't actually have a word for "soul" lol (sorry to be a knit-picker but I study philosophy so I find this stuff interesting).
The word psyche is the Greek word for soul.
@@helenkapetis8869 Technically it is, but the mind and soul was viewed as the same thing (at least in Plato's era).
This sounds like an exercise in hyperbole. Either that, or just another example of the film "Idiocracy" becoming more of a documentary with each passing day.
I love the new hair!!!
OMG, the way your dog looks at you it’s the cutest thing I’ve seen 💖💖💖 I can see she loves you so much
Nerd City also has a takedown on her if anyone is interested
Listless what’s it called?
@@TR-hy9pn iirc it's "Lele Pons - Thot Patrol"! It's they're most recent video, you'll find it if you search for Nerd City. ^^
Feebz ok. Thanks! 😊
@@TR-hy9pn You're welcome. I hope you enjoy the video!
Nerd city is such an underated channel
