Mom says karma always comes around to get you, and I guess it's true. Because last summer I was a total liar, and now, right in the middle of Mr. Pritchard's third-period math class, my whole world is about to come crashing down.
That's because while Devon was living with her grandmother for the summer, she told her "summer friend," Lexi, that she was really popular back home and dating Jared Bentley, only the most popular guy at school. Harmless lies, right? Wrong. Not when Lexi is standing at the front of Devon's class, having just moved to Devon's town. Uh-oh.
Devon knows there's only one way to handle this -- she'll just have to become popular! But how is Devon supposed to accomplish that when she's never even talked to Jared, much less dated him?! And it seems the more Devon tries to keep up her "image," the more things go wrong. Her family thinks she's nuts, her best friend won't speak to her, and, as if it's not all complicated enough, Jared starts crushing on Lexi and Devon starts crushing on Jared's best friend, Luke. It all has Devon wondering -- who is the real Devon Delaney?

From Booklist:
A release from the new Mix imprint, aimed at readers between the ages of 9 and 13, this title tailors standard chick-lit themes to common tween experiences. Devon Delaney has spent the summer at her grandmother's house, where she created a more stylish, popular alter ego, based on lies she told to her new friend, Lexi. Then, on the first day of seventh grade, Devon discovers that Lexi has moved to her town and is in her class. Devon scrambles wildly to keep Lexi from discovering the truth behind her lies, spinning more elaborate stories and alienating friends in the process. Predictably, everything comes to light, and Devon must repair the damage that she has caused. There's plenty of focus on boyfriends, makeup, clothes, and "the A List" crowd, but at the heart of the story is Devon's struggle to work through insecurities and be a good friend. The dialogue feels clichéd, but readers just entering adolescence will easily connect with the drama of friendships and first romances, all balanced against Devon's realistic, loving family life. Engberg, Gillian
