What a unexpected surprise I got from reading this book. The cover doesn't do the book justice. The Story is fun, crazy and witty. The author delivers in this book sexuality and acceptance as a main theme. Lots of teenage drama and angst with plenty of humor thrown in the mix while reading such deep themes.

You meet the sisters Roz and Eva. Roz is pretty much what makes the book what it is. Roz is the funny sister. Roz has a mission and that is to get her sister to open up about a secret she believes she has. The sisters are very competitive and just make you out right laugh sometimes. So Roz starts her own lie about herself to see if that will work towards getting her sister to "come out". Roz didnt expect that her plan would not work and now she "made her bed and must lie in it".

Summary: With Roz and Eva everything becomes a contest—who can snag the best role in the school play, have the cutest boyfriend, pull off the craziest prank. Still, they’re as close as sisters can be. Until Eva deletes Roz from her life like so much junk e-mail for no reason that Roz understands. Now Eva hangs out with the annoyingly petite cheerleaders, and Roz fantasizes about slipping bovine growth hormone into their Gatorade.

Roz has a suspicion about Eva. In turn, Eva taunts Roz with a dare, which leads to an act of total insanity. Drama geeks clamor for attention, Shakespearean insults fly, and Roz steals the show in Lauren Bjorkman’s hilarious debut novel.
