Pants on Fire Review
This is the first Meg Cabot book that I read and it gave me so much fun. Meg was well-known for her sense of humor and this story was definitely a great proof. I was really surprised how she cracked me up simply with some words.
Katie's character was really interesting. I disliked her at first; she seemed too pretentious, boy-crazed and silly to me. Besides, the fact that Katie was a two-timer was sort of shocking (maybe because it came right after very few first chapters). She also hid a secret about our male lead, which I was certain wasn't a nice thing either. But then the story progressed and Katie started to grow on me. It turned out that she was just a normal teenager who was trying to be with the right guy, to follow her dreams of becoming a photographer, and to fit in a town where Quahogs - whom she hated - ruled. Katie was too scared to be herself because it might change her life and how people looked at her.
I think it's somehow relatable to us teenagers. I bet you have at least once hid your real self just because you don't want to be an outcast for thinking or acting different, just like Katie. On the other hand, there are still a lot of Tommy Sullivan out there who stood up for what he believed. I adored Tommy alot, not only was he charming and caring, he was really brave as well. He did the right thing for justice even though the consequence was his going away from hometown.
Let me tell you what I like the most of this story: Katie and Tommy's strong bond. Even though Katie herself knew she betrayed her best friend, she did take his side for once, in a strange but sweet way. And Tommy, instead of coming back to take revenge on Katie, helped her reveal to the world the Katie only he saw. And realized who she was truly in love with.
I'm sure you'll go back and forth between "hahaha" and "awww" on reading this book.

Pants on Fire Overview
But she can't exactly tell the truth, either—not when she's juggling two boyfriends, secretly hating the high school football team everyone else worships, and trying to have the best summer ever. At least Katie has it all under control (sort of). Her biggest secret, what really happened the night Tommy Sullivan is a freak was spray-painted on the junior high gymnasium wall, is safe.
That is, until Tommy comes back to town. Katie is sure he's going to ruin all her plans, and she'll do anything to hang on to her perfect existence. Even if it means telling more lies. Even if, now that Tommy's around, she's actually—truthfully—having the time of her life.

Other reviewer spot on......Tommy is her most memorable males!... - Teresa Pedersen - South Dakota-USA
I loved the story, absolutely "sighed" when Tommy makes his beach entrance, melted in my chair when he kissed her in the parking lot and totally cringed when she finally comes clean with her own deceit.
Yep, exactly what Meg wanted us readers to experience.....we did! I liked Tommy's character so much I re-checked the book for my daughter to read!
keep up the good work Meg
A Bit of an Iffy Start - -
I honestly was intrigued by Cabot's ability to describe everything about the setting in the first few pages. Whether it was the fast-paced descriptions, or the ditzy main character, I felt like I had been dropped off in the middle of the plot. However, I came to enjoy the book due to the mystery behind what really happened in the time before freshman year, and I also loved the fact that there really was a choice to be made, because every one of the male options acted like a prick at one point or another.
I do believe that Cabot has done an iffy job with choosing the traits of the main character, but I did realize that the reason I did not like her so much was because I had not heard the reasoning behind the situation. But once I heard her side of the story, I ended up enjoying the book a lot more.
love it - Tiffany J. Taylor - Greendale, Indiana, USA

$lopier (a little) - -
Kate is finally popular she has the most popular boy in her school as her boyfriend. And when he is not there to kiss she can always make out with Eric the drama club hottie. She knows she should not but realy your boyfriend is boring... Not to say that she is saving up for a camra behind her parents back just becuase she does not want to say the camra she got for x mas was not good enough... So you get it she lives in a tangle of lies. So then when Tommy comes back the first thing she does is drop her phone in the toliet. Oh she is also running for quanhog princess.
As things get more twisted and compilcated Kate starts to like Tommy so pretty much she kisses him. But she cannot help feing guilthy after all she was the one who wrote is was a freak...
But then when making her speech she fixes everything and blah blah blah no one hatees her and she starts to go out with Tommy.
This book was predictable and kissing in almost all the sences but I liked it. The beginning was really interesting and you could really feel how Kate was feeling. You grew to be her friend wishing you couuld advice her with her probblems.
On the down side some parts were boring it was predictable /except for Jenna and Seth/ and just a lot of kissing. ICK
