I needed a book set in Indiana for my reading challenge, and I thought, Meg Cabot - why not?

I think I started this book thinking it was going to be more about the Hollywood teen idol, Luke, but really, it was Jenny, who was the teen idol.

She had been playing the role of peacekeeper for a long while. They thought of her as the mayonnaise, the one who held everyone together. She often committed acts of kindness, expecting nothing in return, but she was not one to cause any waves. I loved that Luke challenged her to use her influence in bigger ways. She did a lot of brave and bold things at Luke's urging, and it was great watching her take those chances.

I also enjoyed some of the references in this story more than I should have. But, seriously, I really miss Chi Chi's.

Overall: This book was fun and cute, and I could get behind the overall message. Oh, and there was lots of Latin phrases being thrown around. ❤️
