HOW TO BE POPULAR: Meg Cabot: Harper Tempest: Young Adult: 288 pgs.Stephanie Landry would like to be popular, but 5 years earlier she'd spilled a cherry big gulp on the most popular girl's white skirt. Ever since, when someone does or says something stupid, it's a "Steph". This summer, she found a book on "How to be Popular" that belonged to her best friend's grandmother, and now she's determined to turn things around in the new school year. She succeeds, but figures out that she's not happy and that she needs her real friends not her "popular" friends to be happy. It also helps that her very hot childhood best friend, Jason, finally reveals that he'd like her to be his more that just her best friend. Done in a journal type format, the entire book takes place between August 26th and September 3rd. This isn't as offensive as some of Cabot's recent email format books have become. It's pretty clean and an interesting take on teen popularity.
