I had to skim the last part of the book because I got kind of bored. I made it to David becoming mad at Sam at Kris' party, then read every few pages from there on.

Still one of my favourite books. Sam Madison was the most relatable person to me as a child, I just loved her.

After re-reading this I still really like Sam, her friends, family and story. Meg Cabot knows how to make her teens feel utterly real - from the way that they talk to the decisions that they make. I found myself laughing aloud several times and, despite some of the dated pop culture references, it retained a fresh feel. Mind you, this novel is only eight years-old. In a few more years a lot of these pop culture mentions will fall flat. Eventually, they may have to pull a Sweet Valley High/Nancy Drew and update some things. Fortunately, the humor found here isn't completely reliant on pop culture. Just reading through Sam's thought process, actions and rationalizations are a riot.
