You may have read about this book in the news last year. It was written by a young Harvard student who, since the book was published earlier this year, has been accused of plagiarism which has resulted in the book being removed from the market. I don’t know whether that removal is temporary or permanent, but I have read the books this author is being accused of plagiarizing from and I personally didn’t see any evidence of plagiarism.

Although the book is no longer in bookstores, it’s still possible to obtain a copy to read. The book I read was from my local library. Already purchased copies of the book are available for sale at various re-sellers including online at half.com.

The book is about a high school senior whose only goal in life is to get accepted to Harvard University. Along the way, she realizes that she’s been so busy trying to reach specific goals that she has no idea who she is. At times, the storyline in the book is silly and completely unrealistic, but it is a fiction book. The book was entertaining with a satisfying ending and it did have a message for its readers.
