Ilustration In Favor Of Books How to Be Popular
Do you want to be popular? Everyone wants to be popular or at least, Stephanie Landry does. Steph's been the least popular girl in her class since a certain cherry Super Big Gulp catastrophe five years earlier. Does being popular matter? It matters very much to Steph. That's why this year, she has a plan to get in with the It Crowd in no time flat. She's got a secret weapon: an old book called what else? How to Be Popular. What does it take to be popular? All Steph has to do is follow the instructions in The Book, and soon she'll be partying with the It Crowd (including school quarterback Mark Finley) instead of sitting on The Hill Saturday nights, stargazing with her nerdy best pal Becca, and even nerdier Jason (now kind of hot, but still), whose passion for astronomy Steph once shared. Who needs red dwarves when you're invited to the hottest parties in town? But don't forget the most important thing about popularity! It's easy to become popular. What isn't so easy? Staying that way.Define Epithetical Books How to Be Popular

The beginning was, meh :/The rest of it was,OMGOMGOMGOMGHOWISTHISSOGOOD!?(view spoiler)[(btw, Jason and Steph are the real endgame.) (hide spoiler)]Main character Steph has to live down her social suicide of 5 years before- when she spilled red soda all over the most popular girl in school. Finding a book about popularity from the 1950s (it seems) she decides to follow the advice so she won't be such a "Steph" anymore.Filled with bitchy popular girls and their cliques, the hot quarterback and the rest of the usual cast of high school, How to be Popular is a cute teen lit book. We can see the ending coming in the first chapter, but the story
Formulaic and delightful! I loved the characters, even the ones who were pretty sketchily drawn. [sidebar: I am curious about the trend I am noticing in YA novels for girls wherein the mean girl has no other defining characteristics and only rules by being intimidating. I knew a few "mean girls" in my time, and I also did some mean stuff as a young teen, and all I can say is, we were all more complicated than that. Maybe I should write a YA novel with a mean girl antagonist who is actually a
I swear I'll only give 3-star ratings (or lower) if I keep reading contemporary novels... WHY AM I DOING THIS TO MYSELF?
Liked it back when it came out, but this does not stand the test of time. :(
OMG!!!! I just really have to say that this book is completely amazing. Meg Cabot sums up every girl's (or maybe...um, boys?) dreams of being popular-and the real reality. It is pretty hard to make normal school life sound interesting unless you're writing something paranormal, like angels, vampires or the like (trust me, I've seen almost all of the variations you can possibly get.). "Crazytop" (courtesy of Jason, here) aka Steph Landry is known for the saying, "way to pull a Steph Landry,".
Way to pull a Steph Landry and that cruel taunt has been burning Steph Landrys ears since the time that she was a clumsy twelve-year old who accidentally upended a Red Super Big-Gulp on Lauren Moffats white denim D & G skirt. And although Steph bought Lauren a brand new skirtprima-donna hag-extraordinaire Lauren has never let Steph or the rest of Bloomville High School ever let the unfortunate memory fade. Ergo, whenever anyone commits a faux-pas or does something remotely dorky, its Dont
