All's fair in love, war, and high school
Janette Rallison
pages: 183
Rating: ***** It was Amazing!

Recommendation: I think any teenage girl would enjoy this book. It's a fun book to read, and most girls can relate to some of the stuff that happens in the book. It really talks about the reality high school drama that happens. Boys.. I really don't think this is the type of book you would enjoy. It's definitely too girly for you.

Summary: This book is about Sixteen-year-old Samantha Taylor who is use to having things go her way. She’s the head cheerleader and has popular friends and a steady stream of boyfriends. But than she fails the SATS, her dreams about going to college don’t seem to be so realistic anymore. She believes that her only hope for college admission is to win the election for student body president. However, with her attitude she's better at giving insults than winning votes. She makes a bet with her classmate Logan that she can go two weeks without saying a single insult. And when her current boyfriend dumps her, less than three weeks before the prom, it couldn’t be a worse time to be forced to keep her opinions to herself. Finding a new boyfriend will be a challenge now that Logan follows her every move, hoping to catch her giving an insult. Samantha is determined to win the election and find a dream date for the prom, no matter what it takes.

Explanation: This is a really good book, it has humor to it. Janette Rallison always writes good books. Girls can relate to this book really easily. Like finding a date for prom, because all girls want to experience going to prom. And almost all teenagers will go through a break up, and they know how hard it can be sometimes. And they have felt the pressure of passing the SATS, so they can go to college. I believe its a great book to read. Once you read it, you won't be able to stop, that's how good it is.

Favorite Passage: I don't have the book anymore
