Samantha Taylor has failed the SATs. She got an 810 out of a possible 1600!!! With a grade like this, her chances of attending a great college were looking pretty bad. Since being in the position of head cheerleader won't help her get into a good collage, she decides to run for student body president. She thinks that this will help her a lot. She decides she will try to get other people to vote for her by not insulting them. When she "becomes" nicer, her friend, Logan, she ends up in a bet with him. She can't take two weeks without insulting someone, or that's what he thinks. In the campaign, she is running against intelligent Amy Stock and the popular, but strange Rick Debrock. During all of this campaigning, Samantha makes new friends, becomes enemies with the old, and learns about the characters in people. She also learns that there are other people in the world besides her and everything is not about her.
I liked this book because it talks about a life of a teenager. It tells how she deals with her problem. Normally, I like books that have a little romance and realistic fiction in it. This book kept me "hooked" onto the book. Even though you knew what was going to happen, it was still exiting.
"Samantha, you can't walk into a room of six people without insulting five of them." Logan said this and this motivated Samantha to take Logan's bet. Samantha decided to only change her attitude for only the campaign. While she is campaigning, she realizes that people would like her more if she were nicer to them and if she wouldn't insult them.
"You've changed, Samantha, and so have I. I think it's a good change, don't you?" I think this quote is important because it shows that Samantha has grown up from being stuck up to being nice, friendly, and kind. This shows that she has matured a lot.
My favorite part of this book was the times when Samantha was about to insult someone, but Logan was always around somewhere waiting for her to insult someone. It was thrilling to see if Samantha would win the bet and whether she would be "able to live" without insulting people.

Samantha Taylor is the very image of perfection. She's smart, pretty, talented, and nice to everyone she sees. NOT! In fact, Samantha is the very opposite. Though she is pretty, she got an 810 on the SAT's, criticizes almost everyone who walks by her, and the only two things she is good at is seducing guys, and being head cheerleader. "Everyone who's hung out with Samantha knows that she can't go into a room with six people without insulting five of them."
So her ex-boyfriend Logan places a bet that she can't go two weeks without insulting someone. So she now has the burden of that bet on her shoulders. The hot brother of her mean and snotty, rival, Elise is coming back from college, her friend betrays her, and on top of all that, she's running for school president to put 'Leadership' on her college application.
'All's Fair In Love, War, And High school' is a story filled with responsibility, popularity, and determination. Almost every girl can relate to the main character, and has had experiences like Samantha's happen to them. I could relate to this book very well. It is a story that is guaranteed to reel you in and never let you stop turning the pages. The book is written in first person and the author Janette Rallison, really gets into the mind of teenage girl such as myself. This book has comedy, romance, and the thoughts of teenage girl Samantha Taylor.
Rating: 3
Summary: All's Fair in Love, War, and High School?
Comment: I thought this book was okay. It was a bit slow and boring. It was interesting, though, for the book to be based from a cheerleader's view.
There are some good things about it though. At first Samantha can't go one day without insulting someone, but in the end, she learns that its better to not be so cynical, and winning her election isn't everything.
I wouldn't recommend this book, but if you have spare time, go ahead.
