My Thoughts: I loved ABC's Of Kissing Boys so I knew I had to read this one too! I adore Tina's style of writing. We meet Kate who is just your average teenager but she has a plan. Become a millionaire before the age of 20! Kate gets herself a date with the popular boy in school so everyone starts coming to her for love advice so Kate gets a brilliant idea charge them 100 a pop and set them up with whomever they want! What a great plan! She gets her best friend Dal to help her. I loved Dal. He is adorable. The whole book I'm thinking to myself, who cares about the popular guy in school, I want her to end up with Dal. Problem is he has a girlfriend whose already in college. This book was the cutest thing ever. I enjoyed it. It was such a guilty pleasure. Do you want to know what happens with Kate's plan? Who does she hook up? Does she get her dream date with the popular guy? What happens to Dal? Read the book now to find out. I suggest you go order it right now. It was such a gooood book.
Overall: Loved it! Loved the characters and I loved Kate's personality. And I adored Dal. This book must be read if you haven't already!
Cover: Its cute! Love how she is sitting on a hook!

There are two main things that everyone has to know about Kate DelVecchio, specifically what she is and what she isn't going to be.
Businesswoman: YES College student: NO
Kate is basically all business when it comes to her future, literally. Her parents really want her to go to college, but since they know that Kate has no intentions to do so, they strike up a deal with her: if she is able to raise five grand by graduation, along with having straight As on her report card, then they will hand over every single penny in Kate's college savings account. Kate is almost there, earning most of the money by driving around a bratty rich girl to her ice skating practices. But that job is definitely not going to help her earn all of the $5,000.
Then something weird happens. Brandon Callister, the school's hottie, baseball hero, and Kate's lab partner, asks her go with him to a sports awards ceremony. Everyone, of course, is surprised that someone like Kate could snag someone like Brandon.
Fortunately for Kate, Brandon asking her out gave her the perfect opportunity to earn the rest of her money. Her fellow classmates are paying Kate to give them advice on how to hook their own hottie, even though Kate doesn't know too much on the subject -- but no one has to know that. Soon enough, Kate has a hexagonal plan and a partner in crime, Dal.
Aside from her new business, Kate has to deal with a mother who went off to college once again; Brandon, who she never should have said yes to, and Dal, her best friend who she is beginning to see in a whole new light, but who unfortunately already has a girlfriend. Yet, Kate will soon find out that helping others get the ones that they want isn't so easy and that maybe the future she planned out for herself isn't the best one.
HOW TO HOOK A HOTTIE definitely surprised since it was not just some ordinary teen novel. Sure, Kate may seem like one tough cookie, but, in the end, she learns and goes through some important things that not only her but the readers will find useful later on. Another great read from Tina Ferraro, following TOP TEN USES FOR AN UNWORN PROM DRESS.
