Fun and hilarious, Paisley Hanover Kisses and Tells is sure to be a great summer read!

This book is a follow up to Paisley Hanover Acts Out. I'd never read the first one, but it was still simple enough to fall into the story. It starts off as Paisley awaits the election results for sophomore class president, which she's sure she's won. Or, rather, her alter-ego Miss UnPleasant won. Cue the drama.

The characters are definitely full of their own personalities, from quirky Paisley; sweet and popular ...more

After reading the first humor filled Paisley Hanover book, Paisley Hanover Acts Out, I was eager to read more about the lovely and charming UnPop girl who goes by the name Paisley, so you can just imagine my happiness when an early copy landed in my hands unexpectedly. Thankfully, Paisley Hanover Kisses and Tells was a funny and compellable book that nearly lived up to its predecessor.

Paisley Hanover Kisses and Tells begins just as the final results of the student election are released, and Paisley, as well as the rest of the UnPops, couldn't even be more surprised and outraged about them, because Paisley Hanover isn't the new president of the sophomore class, HUTCH is! Now, all the UnPops have ganged up together to fight this injustice with Paisley's two drama besties, Cate and Bean leading them. Making things even worse, Jen, Paisley's official frenemy, has major drama going on in her life, drama that might even have the possibility of ruining her, so now it's up to Paisley Hanover to clean up the messes left by her vice principal and fellow students even though she knows it will be anything but easy. Oh, and add in the fact that Paisley's two crushes/ boyfriends are becoming close friends, it turns out that sophomore year has come to a huge messy halt yet again!

Paisley Hanover is seriously one of my favorite female protagonists ever. I mean, her spunk and her never ending supply of enthusiasm to stop the injustice of the social ranks in her school are admirable. Plus, I love the fact that even though she has hard situations constantly thrown at her, she never lets it get her down or stops being the funny and vibrant girl she is. Instead she takes the drama head on and usually ends up winning big time. Also, I love reading about her BLT (you'll get if you read the book ;) with Clint and Eric. Both are guys who are charming and swoon-worthy in their own right, which would make me just as clueless of who to choose as Paisley is if I were in her place. Adding to this, I love reading about her different friends, such as Cate, Jen, and Amy, because all are just unique and stand on their own fully

The premise of this is filled with nothing lacking excitement and humor, though I have to admit that the execution wasn't nearly as great as I expected it to be because of the length. The book is about 350 pages long, but I feel that some of it was unnecessary and could easily be edited down to have an even better and more compellable novel.

In all, Paisley Hanover Kisses and Tells is a truly funny and hilarious addition to the Paisley Hanover series, one that I can't help but highly suggest. Lastly, I have to give props to Cameron for basically getting the language and situations a high school student faces down pat. I can't wait to read the next addition!

Pleasant Hill High has probably never seen anything like Paisley Hanover or her snarky alter ego Miss UnPleasant. Whether she knows it or not, this girl is a mover and shaker—and she’s just turned the entire social scene at Pleasant Hill High upside down in her quest to defy the rules (both official and Un) by becoming sophomore class president. Of course, when things go a big haywire, Paisley needs a new plan of attack. Good thing she’s got some really good friends and a whole army of UnPops be Pleasant Hill High has probably never seen anything like Paisley Hanover or her snarky alter ego Miss UnPleasant. Whether she knows it or not, this girl is a mover and shaker—and she’s just turned the entire social scene at Pleasant Hill High upside down in her quest to defy the rules (both official and Un) by becoming sophomore class president. Of course, when things go a big haywire, Paisley needs a new plan of attack. Good thing she’s got some really good friends and a whole army of UnPops behind her. Together they’ll fight for justice and equality at Pleasant Hill high through a series of strange protests and creative pranks. Now if only Paisley could keep her mind on the prize instead of on those two gorgeous guys she’s crushing on, things would be perfect. Or not.

Paisley Hanover Kisses and Tells is, as Paisley would say, totally “hilario.” All of Paisley’s quirky comments, ridiculous ideas, and amusing distractions kept me giggling throughout the book. Everything about Paisley, and subsequently this book, is a bit manic. There is really no such thing as subtlety here; everything is done over the top, from the drama Paisley and her friends have to deal with to the smear campaign against Paisley to the sheer amount of OMGs. While this does make for a very entertaining read, it doesn’t, however, set it up to be very meaningful. Tuttle touches on a lot of interesting topics relevant to teens in her strange creation of Pleasant Hill High, such as staff favoritism (working both ways), the clash between the “popular” and “unpopular” people, reputation ruining scandals, and loyalty. She does not elaborate on these topics, though, choosing to merely mention them. For me, it felt that although Paisley and her UnPop friends were fighting for justice, it really never was served. And even if all this drama can be chalked up to high school in general, it makes me wonder what the point of this book really is. Don’t get me wrong: Paisley Hanover Kisses and Tells is a fun read, but serves more for light entertainment than anything else.

Although I haven’t read the Paisley Hanover Acts Out, the prequel to Paisley Hanover Kisses and Tells, I’m sure it’s as much as a laugh as this book is. I recommend this novel to fans of Into the Wild Nerd Yonder by Julie Halpern, The ABC’s of Kissing Boys by Tina Ferraro, and So Not Happening by Jenny B. Jones.

I feel like I've been waiting for years to read the sequel to the hilariously amazing Paisley Hanover Acts Out, but I suppose it's only been a little over a year. But what a slow year it was. When I finally got to pick up Paisley Hanover Kisses and Tells, I was terrified I wouldn't like it. Luckily, though, this sequel was just as unbelievably awesome as book one.

Even though some of the events in this book are way over-the-top, I loved them anyway. I really can't imagine so many people engaging I feel like I've been waiting for years to read the sequel to the hilariously amazing Paisley Hanover Acts Out, but I suppose it's only been a little over a year. But what a slow year it was. When I finally got to pick up Paisley Hanover Kisses and Tells, I was terrified I wouldn't like it. Luckily, though, this sequel was just as unbelievably awesome as book one.

Even though some of the events in this book are way over-the-top, I loved them anyway. I really can't imagine so many people engaging in such a large, elaborate protest (but then again, I suppose I may be underestimating drama kids.) but their crazy sure made for an amusing read. Likewise, Paisley's awkward moments and snarky comments added a whole new layer of fun to the occasionally uneventful plot. Not that there isn't plenty of action- there is. Between the Jen and boy drama, there's always something OMG happening, but sometimes it took a while for the subplots to go anywhere.

I enjoy reading this series so much that I really don't care about some of the character and plot issues. I don't care that some of the characters are a bit flat and unbelievable, because for every underdeveloped character, there's one insanely realistic one. I loved that in this installment, so much more is learned about certain characters (Carreyn and Charlie, for example). Hutch especially has been given a new layer of depth- he makes so much SENSE now. I love when that happens! I even like the guy now. I like him a lot more than Eric, who is still too dull for my taste. (But Clint still wins.)

If you like your books rich with symbolism and hard-hitting issues, Paisley Hanover Kisses and Tells may not be for you. Some big issues and topics are mentioned, but it's still mainly a hilario, fun, light read. However, if you like Georgia Nicolson, I'm sure you'll like Paisley too. I'm pretty sure that if Paisley and Georgia ever met, Paisley would be immediately admitted to the Ace Gang.

I'm crossing my fingers for another installment in the series! I need moooore. ...more

After i finished the book, i was happy that i had completed it but at the same time felt a feeling of sadness, due to the fact that Paisley Hanover and her adventures had accompanied me for a great deal of January, and afternoons at the beach. The whole story had basically been about problems in high school, which i was familiar with, and the constant fight to stand up to those who treated other people wrong. Paisley is actually a role model in this story. She called herself the "queen of the Un ...more

Another awesome adventure from Paisley. But I think were was more drama in this one; sexting, bullying, love triangle, control freak principals, and thats just some of whats going on.
This book picks up right where "Acts Out" left off. Paisley and her friends are still protesting the unfair election to bully and sports star Hutch but also Paisley has to deal with choosing bad boy hottie Clint (PICK HIM!), or long time crush and popular soccor star Eric (PICK CLINT!). That, in its self, is a very ...more

High School students will gravitate towards this trendy little book about high school drama. Paisley Hanover is a fighter for the unpopular kids and begins the book by winning a student government election, yet not being awarded with the title. Her classmates are in an uproar because they know she won and go to the vice principal's office to demand a recount. He allows a recount by handing them the shredded ballots. They stage a protest and in the meantime Paisley and her friends have a ton of a ...more

I just can't be overly critical of this book, no matter how over the top it goes, because it is such a hoot to read. Okay, I will say that I find the "love triangle" bit hokey and unnecessary.

Since Tuttle has lots left in Paisley's sophomore year alone, I think she is planning quite a few more books. I just hope she doesn't drag it out as have Meg Cabot with her "Princess" books and Louise Rennison with her "Georgia Nicolson" books. Sometimes knowing when to stop is very very important if you re ...more

This book was pretty funny, and witty. I have read this book twice, and I think I enjoyed it more the second time, because I was able to remember more details and events in the book. Hopefully the third book in the series is just as interesting, if not more.

Paisley is a corker (I love that word) to be sure, full of chutzpah and drama. Teenage girls will love her and all her conflict. I, on the other hand, am infinitely bored by this. So much to read, so little time.
