Perfect Strangers, by Jahnna Malcolm

Ok. Before you think - uh, what is this girl reading, yes, yes, I know that the subject matter here is high school students falling in love which is really not my thing. I'm happy with adults falling in love, but I must confess I have a hard time when teenagers do it. Although for some reason it's fine in fantasy. hmm.
Anyways, the plot idea on this one was fun so I gave it a shot.

Perfect Strangers, by Jahnna Malcolm
Young Adult, 2005

Madison is the ultimate high school overachiever. She makes perfect grades, shows school spirit, attends extra-curricular activities, and always looks fabulous while doing it. When she decides to run for Senior class president, though, she finds she's running opposite of Jeremy, the guy responsible for her most embarrassing moment ever. Meanwhile, she's finding her anonymous pen-pal (assignment for a class) to be more than just that. Should she break the rules and meet up? Or is it too late to start over?
That last sentence kind of doesn't make sense, but the truth is this is a completely predictable book. I guarantee no surprises. It drove me nuts that Madison was very into pink/looking perfect/etc., but I guess that was just her personality. Also, in the beginning she feels overwhelmed at running for president, so I felt like if she really went through some change in the book, things wouldn't work out quite so well. I like Jeremy, but I must confess the love story was a bit too pat. I mean, as pen-pals (spoiler, but not really) they were really starting to like each other and then...well, I don't to give away the cliche ending. :)
Graded a C+.

BUT. If you're in high school, chances are you'll think it's a really cute read. There's also a sequel.
