    <body><![CDATA[Fun book, although I kept putting it down not sure that I really liked it.  The story itself if pretty standard.  MidWestern girl living in NYC meets and falls for her next door neighbor.  He's pretending to be someone he is not, and of course his real identity involves one of NYC's wealthiest famil...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48753041">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[At the beginning of the book, all the cliches and brand name and celebrity name dropping were such a turn-off for me, I almost didn't even finish it.  For some reason, when I grabbed this book off my shelf to go to the beach, I didn't know it was the same author as Princess Dairies.

    <body><![CDATA[Meg Cabot cleverly wrote the whole book in email messages--creative and brave!  But that seems to be her style.  The formate made for a quick read because each message has a header.  The book looks like it's over 300 pages but I bet the actual content of the book could be written in 200.<br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73340662">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another enjoyable outing from Meg Cabot. I laughed out loud at parts of it. I liked the characters, the story was interesting, and the e-mail format kept me reading, and reading, and reading.... much longer into the night than was probably smart.<br/><br/>I did notice that Meg Cabot is recycling h...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63668217">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would.  Cabot almost always tells her stories through letter, journal/diary, email form which can become annoying (I quit reading the Princess Diaries after book 3 because I couldn't take it anymore although I did enjoy them).  This book was even more funny...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72829639">more...</a>]]></body>

It was written as as epistolary novel in the form of emails instead of letters.I liked this book because it had lots of Cabot's signature snappy dialogue. The  drawback for me was that the whole book was in e-mails. The Barnes...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76507260">more...</a>]]></body>
