Do you want to be popular? Everyone wants to be popular—or at least, Stephanie Landry does. Steph's been the least popular girl in her class since a certain cherry Super Big Gulp catastrophe five years earlier. Does being popular matter? It matters a lot—to Steph. That's why this year, she has a plan to get in with the It Crowd in no time flat. She's got a secret weapon: an old book called—what else?—How to Be Popular. All Steph has to do is follow the instructions in The Book, and soon she'll be partying with the popular kids (including school quarterback Mark Finley) instead of sitting on The Hill Saturday nights, stargazing with her nerdy best pal Becca, and even nerdier Jason (now kind of hot, but still). But don't forget the most important thing about popularity! It's easy to become popular. What isn't so easy? Staying that way.

"It was much better than I thought it would be. It was the same old same old the chick wants to be popular then she realizes that she loves what she already had and ends up going back to it. But in the end she ends up being popular anyways, which is a good twist to the plot. "

" Typical High school Story Unpopular girl has crush on Most popular boy in school. Most of the story is writen in a dairy format. This helps you root for the main person in the story Stephanie Landry. "
— Amber, 2/15/2014" This was a really cute YA book. I loved the characters and thought Cabot wrote a very "true" teenager. It was also just a fun read. "
— Katina, 2/13/2014" A new Meg Cabot book about some midwest high school kids and one outcast's attempt to join the "in crowd" just to find out it isn't all its cracked up to be. Fast paced, good characters, (although portrayed as a little dumber "farm folk" than her usual east and west coast characters) I look for this to be made into a tween/teen movie soon. "
— Debbie, 2/9/2014" this book made me make a great mistake of life .. aaaargh ! "
— Shireen, 2/3/2014" pretty good book, i can easily compare to the main character. "
— Rose, 1/28/2014" Sure, had it's funny moments, but was meant as a light read--too predictable and cliche. Then again, it's Meg Cabot, what can you expect? "
— Savita, 1/17/2014" This was a good book, it wasnt like teaching me how to be popular but showing me how a stupid book on how to be popular can change your life.......even get you the guy that you love. and not some stuck up popular guy eaither. "
— Hallie, 1/6/2014" Kind of stupidly shallow. Being popular isn't the only thing in the world. But I thought I'd give it a try. Okay. "
— Catherine, 1/2/2014" Sort of cheesey at the end, but otherwise good. "
— Molly, 12/29/2013" This was a great cute fun read. The characters were funny, if a little predictable. It's really a 3.5 star, not a 3! "
— Kristie, 12/28/2013" SO funny!!!! If you need a laugh read Meg Cabot books!!!!! "
— Gracie, 12/4/2013" What can I say? I liked it. Does it make more sense to know that I'm writing novels for young adults and researching the genre? Meg Cabot knows her way around teens and silly situations, and makes me laugh. "
— Tracy, 11/27/2013" i got really bored of this and just read half way through... "
— Marium, 11/10/2013" I was embarrassed to be seen carrying this book around, lest people get the wrong idea, but I admit I enjoyed it. I even laughed aloud at parts. It was a feel good book, very Some Kind of Wonderful. "
— Donquierafaber, 7/23/2013" What an amazing book!!!!!! I loved it so much, I really liked Jason too! Hee hee. "
— Lauren, 7/18/2013" good read! very predictable, but has a good storyline. "
— sydney, 4/3/2013" Great book! It was hard to get into at first, but then I ended up loving it. "
— Ashley, 10/25/2012" Actually takes a realistic look at what it means to be popular and helps ask the question if the end is worth the means. "
— Michele, 4/19/2012" Read this book for the first time in seventh grade, have read it many more times. "
— Royar, 1/24/2012" This was easy, quick, and predictable. Still, it held my attention. "
— Kress, 12/30/2011" popular is the only thing that i want to be. popular is fabulous. popular is a fntastic thing. "
— Katherine Huber, 12/28/2011" This book is to good for words. "
— Briana, 12/21/2011" Enjoyable, easy read. The kind of book I don't really remember in six months time but really loved spending a day lying around reading it and drinking coffee. It's summer, but it's stormy, grey, and rainy and it was the perfect thing to cuddle on the couch and finish in a one-off. "
— Roxanne, 12/8/2011" I read this like two years ago, I Love the ending soo much. Meg Cabot is my favorite author, I love this book, like all the others! "
— Kayla, 10/1/2011" cute book, great for a fun, non-serious escape. "
— Lisa, 9/14/2011" It was one of the weakest Cabot stories, I've read. The timeline is way to fast to be realistic, and the character and love interest are not the most likeable people. "
— Kace, 8/16/2011" I loved this book! Without giving any spoilers, i would say that even if you hate girly books, this has everything to do with any girl teenager alive! First loves and first opprotunities of being popular and crazy best friends. It has it all! "
— Vmpir, 8/4/2011" i got really bored of this and just read half way through... "
— Marium, 5/18/2011" the end was soo cute :) "
— Liza, 5/7/2011" Sure, had it's funny moments, but was meant as a light read--too predictable and cliche. Then again, it's Meg Cabot, what can you expect? "
— Savita, 4/20/2011" this book is quite innapropriate, but if you dont mind that, its a great read. "
— Sophie, 4/20/2011" I LOVED this book! i didn't want to put it down! The love story was sooo cute and the moral was great: Be careful what you wish for. In other words, popularity isn't so great! "
— Brielle, 4/16/2011" I remember this book as being one of my favorites. All of Meg Cabots stand alone books are great. You should definately read this if you like teen romances. "
— Chelsea, 4/13/2011" Very typical Meg Cabot book. Still enjoyed it though. Light and easy read :) "
— Agnes, 4/6/2011" I hate the ending. It's like every character looses their personality. It's really really sad. "
— Severus, 4/4/2011" This book actually contains many tips on how to be popular, and also how a girl used them. It's a fascinating story, and I enjoyed reading it very much. Now, I love Meg Cabot's books even more! "
— Kitty, 3/25/2011" Dear Meg, <br/> <br/>Apa ini karena gue terlalu sering baca novel-novel lo, makanya sekali ini berasa redundant karena mengulang formula novel2 remaja lo yang lain? <br/> <br/>Howevs, good job. "
— Christian, 3/24/2011" I love Meg Cabot. The voice she uses to tell her stories are so original and so funny. Its rare that a book actually makes me laugh audibly and this one totally did. And it makes you feel happy when you're finished. Yes, please. "
— Laura, 3/19/2011" It's a very good book that I recommend to anyone. It's a girl who is doing herbest to fit in with the popular's and and try to fit in. I fyou ever feel this, way I suggest you read it. You may be able to relate! "
— Bekka, 3/15/2011" I love this book! But i still don't know why Mark kissed Steph. It is an unanswered question to me. "
