Making Writers Feel Old...
From Publisher's Marketplace:
First-time author and 17-year-old Harvard student Kaavya Viswanathan's HOW OPAL MEHTA GOT KISSED, GOT WILD, AND GOT IN, the story of how a beautiful nerd cracks the popular kids' clique, finds her first love and figures out who she really is after learning that the HOWGIH (How Opal Will Get Into Harvard) plan she has been faithfully following since kindergarten has made her the kind of automaton that a Harvard dean looks down on, to Michael Pietsch and Asya Muchnick at Little, Brown, by Jennifer Rudolph Walsh at William Morris Agency. The author is working in conjunction with Alloy Entertainment. JRWasst@wma.com
I can't tell if this is more likely to sell to desi high school students applying to colleges, or to the parents desperate to get them in to Harvard...
