Ask Annie your most complex interpersonal relationship questions. Go on, we dare you!

High school junior Jenny Greenley is good at solving problems ... so good she's the school newspaper's anonymous advice columnist. Even if solving other people's problems doesn't make her own -- like not having a boyfriend -- go away, it's still fun. But when nineteen-year-old screen sensation Luke Striker comes to Jen's small town to research a role, he creates havoc that even levelheaded Jenny isn't sure she can repair ... especially since she's right in the middle of it.
Can Jen, who always manages to be there for everybody else, learn to take her own advice, and find true love at last?

One thing I love about Meg Cabot is that she ends her books in the way that you most likely want them to end. So it's not necessarily the suspense that is good but that you get a solid satisfying story. And there are some days when you just really need that. I loved Jen, especially that she read sf novels (even though I'm more of a fantasy person myself).

Jenny Greenly has been everybody's best friend or, like her REAL best friend called her, mayonnaise. She even helps out people with them not knowing it's her. You see, Jen is the secret advisor, Annie, who people go to to solve their personal relationships. She does the layout and the other secret thing (being Annie) for the Clayton High School Register in Clayton, Indiana. Of course, only the editor-in-chief of the newspaper and a few other administrators of the school know about the Ask Annie thing. But something very big is about to happen in the small town of Clayton.
Nineteen-year-old screen sensation Luke Striker is coming to this town to research a role for a big project coming up. So the school suggested Jenny be the one to show Luke around the school and keep this whole deal a secret. They decided for him to be a transfer student named Lucas Smith. Jen thought that Luke was going to be coming in like a week -- not the very next day! Anyway, Jen is not the type of person who gets star struck by a CELEBRITY! But I guess this was a very first for her. As she got to spend more time with Luke she seemed comfortable around him and didn't think he was one of those people who are just snotty, mean, and self-centered.
But will Luke turn out to be someone Jen didn't think he was going to be? Will she blow his cover with a little mistake or will Luke manage to do that on his own? Find out!
This book is so awesome! It's just so many things happening that you feel like you're totally in the moment! I personally think that Meg Cabot's books are really good and just right on with the every day life of teens.

This is a super cute, typical Meg Cabot book. It's a very fast read, but will keep you entertained.

Teenage Jenny Greenly is a normal girl in high school. However her life is turned upside down when a not so normal visitor comes in. Celeb hearthrob Luke Stiker comes to Jenny's highschool to research for his current movie role . It is a good book for the preteen ages

Not as good as the Princess Diaries or even the All-American Girl, but still a quick, fun, diverting read.
