Annotation:
Dont' be a Steph Landry! Thanks to queen bee Lauren Moffat and a Big Gulp mishap, everyone in town knew Steph's name but she wanted to be known for something else. Steph wanted to be popular. With the help of a "How to Be Popular" book she found in Kitty's (her friend Jason's grandmother and her grandfather's fiancee) storage one day, Steph aims to change her fate. Will she reach her goal and if she does will she be able to handle the consequences?
Pros: While Steph's book is certainly dated, it does give good advice. As Steph transforms, she stays mostly true to herself which made me all the more willing to cheer for her. I found this book to be a fun and thought-provoking read.
Cons: While I enjoyed this story, the imaginary line between fiction and reality was obvious to me in this book. Maybe it's a trivial complaint but while being a great read, I would not recommend this to someone in a cynical frame of mind.
