So who gets to be the judge on who’s beautiful? Not many people actually agree on this. There are people out there who are proclaimed to be beauties and they make me feel creeped out. No one is worthy of ridicule - even people who probably deserve it (for other reasons).

But I was a conventional reader accepting that our title character Luann, though she might need to learn some lessons, would always ultimately be in the right, and always superior to the main antagonist, Tiffany. So I was surprised and interested to find myself somewhat convinced by the postings (from a few different users) claiming that Tiffany had shown moments of generosity and taking care of others that go beyond what we would have been expecting of her. Thus, participating in the “dunking” both to raise money for Delta and the class trip (albeit using this for an ego trip of her own); and being surprisingly gentle about quashing the rumors pairing her with Gunther. [Or do I have some of that confused?] Not to say she is a “shadow heroine” or anything that far … but neither is she fully malevolent.
