kitsuneheart's review against another edition

So, in general, I LOVE Meg Cabot's work. She doesn't apologize for pop culture references or allowing her girl characters to act like girls, or like boys, or however they want. But this one didn't really resonate with me.
I think part of it was it reminded me too much of "Never Been Kissed." Except the reporter is actually a high school student, and the fake student is a celebrity. It adds a bit of extra plot, having Luke Striker, the celebri-student, be the impetus for Jenny Greenley to show some assertiveness, but, at the same time, she loses some agency by having her life-changing realization come from an outsider, and particularly one that has seen her for all of maybe a week.
There was also a bit too much relationship drama for my tastes. I actually had a hard time keeping the two main couples--Geri/Scott and Trina/Steve--apart, and wasn't entirely sure who was free for the end-of-book romances until they got resolved.
It's still a fun Cabot book, but not one I'd pass on to people as a recommendation. It's more a book for Cabot completionists.

"Você não pode provocar mudanças sociais sem provocar algumas reações".
Que leitura gostosa! Meg Cabot é garantia de leitura rápida e fluída, e às vezes ela acerta (A Mediadora) e às vezes não (Cabeça de Vento) mas aqui ela acertou em cheio. É daqueles contemporâneos bem fofos que te deixa com um sorriso bobo quando o casal tá junto. Pra quem procura um romance bonitinho fica a dica!
"Algo acontece quando as pessoas veem uma celebridade. É como...não sei. Elas não percebem que somos humanos, como elas, ou sei lá o que."
"A vida é curta. Se a gente não tentar coisas novas, nunca vai saber o que consegue fazer melhor. E só se pode abrir tempo para as coisas novas deixando de lado as coisas que a gente sabe que não funcionam para a gente".

The plot was overall interesting, which got me so hyped about reading it. Half-way through the book, I figured out the main pairing and I was heartbroken. T_T I really wanted Luke and Jenny to get together and all the signs made it clear to me, but the little hope ignored all the things Trina and Jenny said about Scott. T_T The plot was good though, other than that, I didn't like the pairings too much. :\ Although it defeated the cliche of protagonist falls in love with super star.

Another good character and story by Cabot. I wish we had more of these and less of the Princess Diaries. Cabot always fills her books with humor, fun, emotion, love, and friendship.
