Product Description
It’s just that telling the truth is so . . . tricky. She knows she shouldn’t be making out with a drama club hottie behind her football-player boyfriend’s back. She should probably admit that she can’t stand eating quahogs (clams), especially since she’s running for Quahog Princess in her hometown’s annual Quahog Festival. And it would be a relief to finally tell someone what really happened the night "Tommy Sullivan" was spray-painted on the new wall outside the gymnasium–in neon orange, which still hasn’t been sandblasted off. After all, everyone knows that’s what drove Tommy out of town four years ago.
But now Tommy Sullivan has come back. Katie is sure he’s out for revenge, and she’ll do anything to hang on to her perfect (if slightly dishonest) existence. Even if it means telling more lies than ever. Even if, now that Tommy’s around, she’s actually–no lie–having the time of her life.

 LIAR, LIAR!!! Are you like this girl??? October 13, 2008
PANTS ON FIRE by Meg Cabot is a great book that reveals the inside secrets and lies of an everyday teenager in high school. Katie Ellison a sixteen year old is the most popular girl in her school. She is smart, beautiful and is dating the schools hottest football player. Katie is mistaken for being a caring person and wanting to be a Quahog Princess when she really doesn't want anything to do with it. Tommy Sullivan a boy she used to hang out with is back in town and is out to get her. She goes behind her boyfriends back with another guy. She also claims that she never knew or talked to Tommy Sullivan about anything, but she was there when he did the spray painting to the school.
As Katie went through a web of her own lies the book got more intense for me and I was able to understand how the title came in to play right at the beginning. This book was a nonstop page turner. I could barley put it down as I went through it.This book was a great way to express how many teens act in school and how lies all do come out in the end. This book teaches a lesson that most teens get caught up in. Meg Cabot expresses Katie's lies in ways to make the book more interesting and more fun to go along with as you read through it. In my mind this book deferentially deserves five stars. So don't just read the review or a summary about it read the whole book it is worth it! PANTS ON FIRE will change your mind on being a liar.
Great Book September 23, 2008
I really liked this book. I usually only buy Meg Cabot books if they are at least 4 and 1/2 stars, but this one was one of my favorites of her books. I really liked all the characters and I thought the plot was well written. I also really enjoyed the passion in the romance. It was a fun book.
 A Good Book but a Disappionment for Meg Cabot September 1, 2008

Genre: Young Adult/Break-Ups
Katie is a typical teenager in high school. She is popular and has looks, good grades and hot boyfriends. Did I mention, she has a lying problem. That is how she was able to become so popular in high school. Even since Tommy Sullivan left, his ex-best friend, she lied her way through freshman to junior year. Lying has never been hard for Katie; the only thing she had to do was keep her lies straight. In fact, she even had two boyfriends without a problem. Then Tommy shows up in the summer before senior year and her perfect life comes crashing down, fast. She thinks she is in love with Tommy although she has two boyfriends and all her lies are catching up with her.
The characters in this young adult book were also very captivating as were Katie's problems but toward the middle of the book I did not care what happened to Katie and wanted the book to be over. This is not Meg Cabot best work, which made the book okay. Even though the plot line was not boring and it had suspense, it was not enough to keep it interesting. Despite that, the book was not horrible.
 Meg Cabot's really just churning books out now. July 22, 2008

I honestly like Meg Cabot. Usually her characters are easy enough to relate to, and she's pretty funny. But I think Meg Cabot has come to rely too much on the, "underappreciated-and-misunderstood-girl-falls-for-wrong-guy-but-finds-true-love-in-a-boy-she's-always-overlooked" plot. Those books certainly have their place in the world, but at least in Cabot's other works, the main character has something else going on for them, be it psychic powers or discovering she's a princess.
Kate Ellison has nothing going for her. Sure, she likes photography and riding her bike, but she's also the most judgmental person ever. For a girl cheating on her boyfriend, she sure seems to dislike that her "best friend" enjoys shopping and gossip. We're supposed to suddenly like her by finding out that she's smart (smarter than everyone in her town, apparently) and apparently all of her life she has been pleasing other people...
...by pretending to like quahogs.
Whatever, Meg. I couldn't have cared less what happened to Katie while I was reading this book. I shouldn't have even finished it; the entire thing was so predictable it was mind-numbing.
The First... July 2, 2008
Book I read all summer and still one of the best. I mean nothing turns out like you expected and Tommy Sullivan really is a freak. Plus I just heard theres a sequal to this!
