When your chance for getting into college and your date for the prom are all on the line…Sixteen-year-old Samantha Taylor is used to having things go her way. She's head cheerleader and has all the right friends and a steady stream of boyfriends. But when she tanks the SATs, her automatic assumptions about going to college don't appear to be so automatic anymore. She determines that her only hope for college admission is to win the election for student body president. Unfortunately, with her razor wit and acid tongue she's bettersuited to dishing out insults than winning votes.When she brashly bets her classmate Logan that she can go two weeks without uttering a single insult, Samantha immediately realizes that she may have bitten off more than she can chew. And when her current boyfriend dumps her, less than three weeks before the prom, it couldn't be a worse time to be forced to keep her opinions to herself. Finding a new boyfriend will be a challenge now that Logan shadows her every move, hoping to catch her slipping back into her old ways. Samantha is determined to win the election and find a dream date for the prom, no matter what it takes. After all . . . all's fair in love and war (and high school!).

Darn, I did not know this was the 2nd book of a series.Janette Rallison knows how to write YA books. And what it is the best of all is that her heroines are far from being a Mary Sue. Like in this book, Samantha is the typical blond, hot, popular cheerleader, and also shallow, and likes to insult pe...
Oh my goodness this cover is awful. But the book is good. It took me a while to like the main character, but she does grow on you. And she does change, so that's always a plus. It's sweet to see how Logan helps her to change and see a better way of treating people, and it's sweet that he sticks by h...
I enjoyed it and what I was so glad to see was very believable teenage characters, but without the disgusting profanity and lustful/shallow attitudes that are so typical with this particular sort of story.I enjoyed it, even though it was still a little shallow for me. I would be interested in readin...
