Katie is popular. She’s dating the most popular guy in school, a football player, while making out behind his back with the second hottest guy in school, an actor in the drama club. She’s living the life most girls dream of. She’s looked up to by so many, and she’s popular with the guys, girls, and adults. The one problem? Her life is a tangle of lies, starting from grade 8. When her old best friend, turned ex-best friend, turned ex-friend, Tommy Sullivan, comes back to town, she’s sure that he’s there to get back at her for ditching him when things got tough in grade 8. Unfortunately, she finds herself in a larger predicament. Tommy saw her kissing the actor, instead of her boyfriend. Tommy remembers everything about her from grade 8. Tommy remembers everything that has happened. Tommy is somehow mysteriously HOT. Attracted to him, while still assuming he’s plotting revenge, Katie’s in for the ride of her life as Tommy shakes up her world. Again.
This book was really intense. Meg Cabot created the chemistry between her characters just right, telling you all you needed to know, just from what they were saying. It was another good read. Meg Cabot books definitely gain my stamp of approval. Though I have yet to find a girl who hasn’t given Cabot their approval.

I loved Meg Cabot's books growing up, and Pants on Fire has always held a special place in my heart. I figured it was time for a re-read since it's been years and I wanted something fun to wrap up my June 2021 reads; Pants on Fire did not disappoint. I finished it in a day, and it was a day well spent! There are some aspects that haven't aged well since 2007, but overall I love how reflective Katie is as the novel progresses.

Gosh, I really like this book. I'm a HUGE Meg Cabot fan and I LOVE all her books. Tommy Sullivan is a Freak was a really good book that related to the not so perfect little high schooler which was soooooo good...
added for reading completeness but don't remember enough to review.
