Rule #1: Do not vote for Mr. Popular.
Rule #2: Do not talk to Mr. Popular.
Rule #3: (Most importantly, and above all) Do not fall for Mr. Popular...
Liam 'Mr. Popular' Carter will always be the closest thing to the "walking plague" in my eyes. His cockiness seeps through his every move, and no matter how many state championships he wins with the basketball team, he will forever be a "loss" to me.
Because he's my older brother's best friend, I'm forced to tolerate him, and he's forced to tolerate me. In fact, unless my brother is around, we happily ignore each other every chance we get.
It wasn't always this way, though...
Several summers ago, we both attended the same summer camp. A place we returned to year after year. We became friends--close friends, but right when I thought he could possibly turn into my everything, he made it clear that what we had was nothing.
Now that's he's a senior, and I only have to deal with him for one more year, I've vowed to keep repeating the same set of rules to myself. Especially since he seems so hell-bent on wanting to talk to me for some reason, and especially since he seems to be staring at me every time we're in the same room together...
Rule #4: Always follow rules #1-3...
Rule #5: (OMG what the hell are you doing?) Do not KISS Mr. Popular...

Decent story, but I have to say I wish I'd known going into this book it's about high school students. I've got nothing against that particular age group (my oldest will be a high schooler soon), but I found I couldn't really relate to the characters in the book. I was a bit bothered by the fact that the way the characters are portrayed, that they're still in high school. Mariah's brother Zach is a manwhore, sometimes hooking up with more than one female in a 24-hour period. Why does he need to be written like that, especially in high school? I could see the college age, but high school? Nope. Skeeves me out. And I'm not a prude by any stretch of the imagination.
