Good theme.........just like clueless......=)

IT's a prettie good book....romantic and it had a good plot to it. Although it contains some less interesting parts to it...but it can reallie capture your attention if you're the type to read romantic and melo books...less adventerous..but more of a female romance book. It's a good book..but not the best.
