"Warmth and humor suffuse the story of Mara's senior-year transformation from tense, rigid perfectionist to relaxed, centered graduate. . . . Funny and optimistic." — KIRKUS REVIEWS

Mara Valentine is in control. She's a straight-A senior, a vegan, and her parents' pride and joy. She's neck-and-neck with her womanizing ex-boyfriend for number-one class ranking and plans to kick his salutatorian butt on her way out the door to Yale. Mara has her remaining months in Brockport all planne... (show more)

"Warmth and humor suffuse the story of Mara's senior-year transformation from tense, rigid perfectionist to relaxed, centered graduate. . . . Funny and optimistic." — KIRKUS REVIEWS

Mara Valentine is in control. She's a straight-A senior, a vegan, and her parents' pride and joy. She's neck-and-neck with her womanizing ex-boyfriend for number-one class ranking and plans to kick his salutatorian butt on her way out the door to Yale. Mara has her remaining months in Brockport all planned out, but the plan does not include having V, her slutty, pot-smoking, sixteen-year-old niece - yes, niece - come to live with her family. Nor does it involve lusting after her boss or dreaming about grilled cheese sandwiches every night. What does a control freak like Mara do when things start spinning wildly out of control? With insight, authenticity, and a healthy dose of humor, Carolyn Mackler creates an evolving Type A heroine that every reader will recognize - and root for. (show less)

Having picked this up on a whim, I'm considerably glad I did. The main character was funny, charismatic, and flawed--the perfect leading lady. Her niece was just as entertaining. I'm looking forward to the sequel, whenever that is slated to come out. (show less)

I saw this in the young adult book section in the library because the title stood out :P
However it was a case of don't judge a book by it's title, as it wasn't that great really. It's about a teenage girl who is an "A" grade student, very well behaved and then her completely opposite niece end sup living with her and her family and causes havoc. All sorts happen that make the main character start to see life a little differently. She turned vegan to take her mind off a boy she broke up with, and it very disappointed me that she doesn't stay vegan! It was hardly the main point of the story though, and I haven't really ruined it for you, as I don't suggest you bother! (show less)

  • First, an article about a challenge to this book by parents in a school in Jacksonville, FL: http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/local/news-article.aspx?storyid=76299

    My response: Honestly, I didn't much notice the word that the parents were complaining about. I had a much bigger problem with the names the girls in the book call each other, but obviously, not a big enough problem to think that I had the right to control what other people can or can't read.

    Overall, I think this book might h... (show more)

    Overall, I think this book might have been too subtle for me. Mara and V don't get along, can't stand each other, etc. until suddenly they can. I felt like there was a little bit of character development that I missed. Otherwise, this is a good story about how the "good girl" can have a positive influence on the "bad girl" and (more importantly?) vice versa, without being too heavy-handed. (show less)

  • This is my most favorite book! The autor is amazing and I love her style. I read this book whenever I'm down or I'm just plain bored and I usually finish it in a day. :D
