High school junior Ariella Winters has raised the position of nerd to an art form. Raking in the straight A's, she couldn't be happier. Sure, her social skills are lacking a bit, but who needs that stuff anyway? When you're smart and dedicated, life is pretty perfect.That is, until a school project brings her worst nightmare to life. As part of a revolutionary social experiment, Ariella is thrown into a new school and given a new look that's totally not her. To ace this project, she needs to spend the next six months trying to fit in. But that's not even the worst part. As part of the assignment, she has to befriend her worst enemies--the popular crew, with their designer fashions and insincere emotions. The ones who would never give Ariella a second glance, except to mock and ridicule her.Enter Ashton Walker, the boy every girl wants to date. He's the soccer star, the heartthrob who doesn't fall in love--the one who could ruin Ariella's plans. He's got every girl falling at his feet which is just one out of the infinite reasons Ariella doesn't need to get wrapped up in his life. Then again, there's something he's hiding, something that's drawing Ariella in. Now she's left questioning everything she's ever believed in for a boy that she never should've met in the first place.

I found the beginning of this book a little discouraging. The characters were immature a lot of the time. I'd feel like they were younger, and then I'd have a reminder like Ariel driving her car, or talking about going to college soon.
The a lot of the dialogue and plot points seemed really unrealistic to me. As far as dialogue goes, particularly the way they jumped from talking about one thing to another and back and forth. The teachers and people of authority were SUPER formal. Literally every adult called the main character, Ariel, “dear.”
While I like the concept of the whole popularity project, I find it extremely unrealistic. It never would have happened at my school, I'll tell you that. You have to lie about who you are for six months? And everyone's okay with that, the adults in your life are pushing you, in fact? I felt like the teacher wasn't explaining it very well, either. His description just seemed too general.
Ariella's parents are away, and her Aunt Stella is in charge, which is fine, but I feel like they should have been consulted about this huge thing in their daughter's life! They were hardly mentioned at all until the end.
Ariel was very pessimistic, and like I said childish, but I don't know, about 20% of the way in, things started to change. I'm not saying it all of sudden got perfect-defo not-but it's like I all of a sudden started getting attached. The writing did get better as the book went on, though it did revert a lot of the time. Still, there were parts in that 80% that made me want to hang on.
The whole book left me questioning a lot of things, and wishing I could have been the editor, but if you can get beyond the rough bits, you can enjoy it. (
