She's So Money by Cherry Cheva

Title: She's So Money
Author: Cherry Cheva
Published: 2008
Pages: 304
Rating: 4/5
Summary: Question: What do you get when you take . . .

1 overachieving girl + 1 insanely cute guy + 1 massive fine + 1 scheme involving a little dishonesty and a whole lot of cash?

I've always been the good girl—working seriously long hours at my family's restaurant and getting straight As. And Camden King was always just that hot, popular guy I'd pass in the halls, whose ego was probably much bigger than his brain. I didn't think there'd ever be a reason for us to actually, like, interact.

Then again, I never thought I'd mess up so badly that my family might lose our entire restaurant if I didn't come up with a ton of money, and fast. So that's where Camden comes in—he and his evil/genius plan to do kids' homework for cash.

I know cheating's wrong, but it's better than being dead, right? Which is what I'd be if my parents knew about what happened. I never expected things to spin so far out of control. Or that I'd be such a sucker for Camden's lopsided grin. Or that falling apart could be the best thing that ever happened to me.

Answer: The time of my life.

Review: I truly enjoyed reading this book!
 
The book is about Maya who is an excellent student and never really gets in trouble. She never had reason to do something that wasn't right. That is, until her parents decide to put her in charge of their restaurant while her parents are out of time. During that time, many things happen that make Maya desperate to earn some money.
 
I could really relate Maya. Even though she was a student who got straight As, she didn't let herself be dominated by those who weren't exactly the best of students. I loved the comments that she made and the way she reacted to situations.
 
Camden was the guy that thinks that he owns the school and who everyone knows. He was the one who helped Maya get the money she needed and gave her the idea of how to earn it faster. I also liked the things that he said to Maya when she said things.
 
I loved the way that Cheva portrayed those students who got good grades. She didn't make them sound like some nerds who didn't have friends or that didn't really go out much. I can relate to all this since many people may consider me a nerd. Those who know me well know that I may get good grades but that I'm not exactly an angel.
 
I would recommend this book to anyone if they asked me. I think it's a great book to read if you want something light to read and to get a laugh!

In My Mailbox is hosted by The Story Siren. So I did get 2 books from the library. Like I said before, without the library my life wouldn't be the same!

Library:

The Reptile Room by Lemony Snicket

I read the first one and thought it was okay so I decided to go ahead and read the second one.

The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau

Some of my friends have read this one and told me it was good. Every time that I ask them what book I should get they always this one so I decided to get. Hopefully it's good!

Coffeehouse Angel by Suzanne Selfors

Title: Coffeehouse Angel
Author: Suzanne Selfors
Published: 2009
Pages: 276
Rating: 3.5/5
Summary: When Katrina spots a homeless guy sleeping in the alley behind her grandmother's coffee shop, she decides to leave him a cup of coffee, a bag of chocolate-covered coffee beans, and some pastries to tide him over. Little does she know that this random act of kindness is about to turn her life upside down. The adorable "vagrant" is actually a real guardian angel on a break between missions, and he simply won't go away until he can reward Katrina's selflessness. . . .

Review: I enjoyed the feeling of this book. I think that it was a good choice for me to read after The Sweet Far Thing.

It's about a girl who does something good for someone that she finds sleeping outside of her grandmother's coffeehouse. The person insist that he needs to reward her for what she did. The story is basically of how Malcolm tries to reward Katrina and each time something happens so that she isn't rewarded.

At times I liked reading from Katrina's point of view but at others I wished that I wasn't. Sometimes she seemed like she needed someone else to do things and never tried to do anything for herself. Towards the end of the book she realized what she was doing and tried to change that, which I really liked.

At the end of the novel Katrina loved Malcolm even though I never really saw when it happened. I felt that it was something that was missing from the book that influenced how much I liked it. Even though I felt that romance part was missing and that Katrina was at times annoying, I enjoyed this book.
