I've read it. Horrible Book

The book is no longer sold coz it was banned due to the reason that it was plagiarized from multiple sources.
It was reported and confirmed on study that it was plagiarized from Sloppy Firsts and Second Helpings, both written by Megan McCafferty.

The synopsis did promise "hilarious results", but personally I seldom grinned while reading that book...But I confess that I have never been able to enjoy teenage books, coz most of them are too much for me to take.
found it a torturous experience

terrible book. the author decieded it would be a good idea to pladgerize it off of megan mccaferty's sloppy firsts. kaavya V. is intelligent enough to get into harvard but not intelligent enough to write an original book.
