4 Years ago Tommy Sullivan Exposed members of the football team (Quahog) as cheats and got runned out of the town. The words Tommy Sullivan is a freak glowing on the walls… but now he is back and Katie is sure it’s for revenge, revenge on her.
After Tommy left, 4 years back, Katie has been top of the class, became popular and is dating the hottest guy(s) in town. As she also puts it: Is the biggest lair in town!!!
Caught in a lip lock with Eric (Katie’s “other” boyfriend) by nobody else than Tommy, Katie thinks that Tommy will use that and expose her in front of the whole town. But later gets a stolen kiss from Tommy and the kiss are like no kiss before it warms her body and makes electric sparks shoot through her.
Tommy gives her the choice: him or them( boyfriend and Quahogs) and Katie realizes it’s the same choice she had 4 years back... but did she choose the right one back then or the easiest one.
So the truth starts flowing form her mouth on the stage of the Quahog Princess pageant. Saying that it was she who had sprayed the words Tommy Sullivan is a freak on the walls (even though it was Seth (her boyfriend), that she hates Quahogs (the food AND the football team) and so much more.
She loses Seth but aren’t sad about it she doesn’t feel a thing for him anymore. She learns that friendship is important and that Sidney isn’t mad at her for telling the-most-of-truth about the spray painting. She thinks she had lost Tommy even as a friend but Katie learns that he isn’t back for revenge and that he want more than friendship. The most important thing that Katie learns is: telling the truth is VERRY important!!!

I love Meg Cabot, she is my guilty pleasure and when I first read this book I loved it. I have not read it in a while but it is just a lighthearted,teenage read. I didn't sit and read it looking for the meaning of life or any real life lessons. It is fun and different and has sweet moments.
It isn't her best but still an enjoyable read on a sunny afternoon of sunbathing.

There’s really not much that I can say on this book. There are some books that work well when they’re character-driven, but a good plot also helps. The problem with this book is that not only is the plot kind of weak, but the characters really don’t drive the story much.
I do like Katie as a character; she’s flawed and acknowledges said flaws. She’s still a likeable and relatable character. I like the fact that she tries to right the wrongs she’s made over the years. However, since she is a Meg Cabot heroine, her tendency to exaggerate the situation tends to get a little old, particularly in this. The other problem I have with Katie is that she has characteristics—she’s a photographer! She has motion sickness! Etc, etc.—but they really don’t define Katie as a person. Her interests and quirks feel like they’re off a checklist instead of actually making her a character.
This is another book where the supporting cast is really weak. When the most entertaining person of a YA romantic comedy is the best friend, there’s something wrong. Tommy Sullivan is, again, every single Meg Cabot love interest that I’ve read and there’s really not much more to his whole backstory. However, I like that members of the It Crowd are Katie’s friends and even after the eventual reveal, they’re actual friends who will stick by her, no matter what. But when the best friend in a YA rom-com ends up being the most interesting character…yeah, there’s something wrong.
The biggest issue I have with the book overall is the plot. I can buy the high school kids not being happy that Tommy came back to town after exposing the local football team as being cheaters. But the adults getting on said hatred is a little too exaggerated. (I live in a football-obsessed town, but it’s a national team, so I’m not used to the massive high school football worship.) I can buy some parents not being happy with this, but for one town uniting against a kid is overkill.
Through my reread, this felt a lot like Queen of Babble—it’s good and enjoyable, but it’s bland and there’s nothing new that brings anything to the genre.

I remember reading this back when I was 11 or 12 years old and I remember absolutely falling in love with all of Meg Cabot's books after that! Sweet ol' days.
It's a good genetic teen romance- very enjoyable but nothing special.
This might just be my favorite stand alone book. It's an epic teen romance that is really lighthearted and wonderful.
Meg Cabot is so popular with the ladies and I understand why. I picked up this fluffy piece of fluff and read it very quickly. I enjoyed it (which is a little embarrassing to admit) but it was just a quick, fun, teenager in love type of read. The 12 year old girls dig this author, and I am declaring to the world that I dig Meg Cabot too (in a Sweet Valley High, remember the awesome days of junior/senior high school)
I only got two chapters in and stopped reading. I can not stand cheating it makes me instantly dislike whatever I'm reading or watching. I really like the princess diaries so I thought I would try some more Meg Cabot books but I've just been disappointed with the first one i tried. I'll probably read another one but the bar is a lot lower now.
I hated this book. When I was younger I had enjoyed The Princess Diaries series. I even like the Boy series.
This book, though...Every stereotype about teenage girls is in it. It is almost painful to read.
Not Cabot's best work. Not at all.
