lol I've read this so many times. It annoys me but I also enjoy it. ( )

As with other of Meg Cabot's work, I enjoyed the engaging style it was written in, but didn't agree with all the content. An agreeable main character was probably my highlight. ( )

You can check out more reviews by me on my blog:



I liked this book, in ways that I really didn't think I would. I had pre-conceived ideas about Teen Idol (I mean, reading the back cover synopsis who wouldn't?) But Meg Cabot did something she tends to do a lot --something I tend to forget and therefore don't give her credit for-- she surprised me!


I mean, come on! I can guarantee that at least 99% of reader assumed that Jenny -- the main character-- was going to fall for the super hot, super famous Luke... Only she didn't! The reason why? She had already fallen head over heels for a certain someone, a certain someone who shared the same taste in literature as her (which, believe me isn't easy to find --a guy with the same taste in books--) and could cook!


And, Cabot really intrigued me by making sure that not only did I not realise Jen wasn't falling for Luke for a while --she was too busy realising she was already in love with the cute editor-in-cheif of the school newspaper-- but that the reason I didn't realise this was because Jenny herself didn't realise it..

It was cute, and if you're looking for a light read then this is the perfect choice!

It was absolute cheese but probably the tastiest I've ever had the opportunity to bite into. It's probably the number two classic idea for a YA story, right behind magical boarding schools. However, despite being done a million times before, it was still a very enjoyable read. Meg Cabot always does a great job with her books and the characters' voices are always very vibrant to me. I loved it! ( )

Book description
I should have known everybody in school was going to fall in love with Luke. And face it, any guy who doesn't have an obsession with monster trucks or a mullet can be considered hot at Clayton High.
