What this book is about
Katie Ellison is popular, has a great boyfriend, and is also secretly seeing another guy — who turns out to be Tommy Sullivan, the boy she helped bully out of town four years ago. Cabot's YA romantic comedy is sharp about the mechanics of teenage social life and the long reach of unkindness.
