recommends it for: teenage girls
This book has changed the way i look at bullying. <i>All's Fair in Love, War, and High School<i> is one of my favorite books. It is very inspirational and i would recommend this book to young girls in middle school or high school. It helped me realize how hurtful insults can be and I have changed because of it. I hope it will help you change and let you know what a difference it can make to be nice to some one.

recommends it for: Jr. High Girls
While it may not have been high on the "literary substantial-ness" it was still a great read. It's one of those books that I would recommend to girls in Jr. High who don't read much, but would probably like chick-lit. I really love all of the incredibly embarrassing moments in it. Highly entertaining.

recommends it for: young teen girls who don't like to read
Really, between two and three stars. It was a fun, lighthearted read, and I did get caught up in it toward the end. It was highly predictable, which doesn't really bother me in the kind of book. What did bother me was the main character's personal growth was a bit shallow and contrived.

This one grew on me. It is a teen book, and I'm sure I would have loved it when I was in high school. I still enjoyed it now, though. Cheerleeder bombs her SATS and decides to run for class president to pad her resume.

Fun for a quick read, nothing special for this 31-year-old. It may have meant more to me if I'd read it in high school, but I'm not sure. It's pretty fluffy and predictable, but the main character is likeable.

Girl runs for student council president and learns about her self as she makes a bet to not insult anyone for two weeks. Nice sweet and romantic, but not as funny and I was expecting.

I've reread this book recently and I know it is high school stuff but I love it. I love anything and everything by this author but this is one of my favorites.

This is a cute romance, but nothing really to make it stand out for me. I liked the play between Samantha and Logan and the idea of the "no-insults" bet.

*sigh* One of those books that have lovey-dovey endings. I liked it, since it had an ending where everything was complete. No cliffhangers or anything.

Most of Janette Rallison's books are set in high school - this one is my favorite of hers! I can picture this as a Disney original movie one day!

It was ok. It showed a sarcastic outlook and she had a biting tounge. This is for those of you who have TONS of mean things to say......

Gotta try some of Janette Rallison's other books, since I really liked "It's a Mall World After All".

I love Janette Rallison. For a light, funny, well-written YA book you can't miss with her.
