Secret? Seriously?


Title- Secret Identity of Devon Delaney
Author- Lauren Barnholdt
Rachied Rating- 3 stars
Your average teen lying her way into popularity. Just like any book out there. Devon lies to some weird chick named Lexie over the summer about being popular. Turns out "Devie" isn't popular, isn't dating the most popular guy (he doesn't even know her name, as a matter of fact), isn't usually called Devie, and isn't best friends with the most popular girl in the school. Personally, I think it's a little to overrated for this to be going on during 7Th grade, but whatever. Read the Secret Life of Devon Delaney, if you dare to be bored some more, that is.
