Awkward By Marnie Bates Published by Kensington Published on January 1, 2012 Source: Publisher for review Summary taken from Goodreads : Mackenzie Wellesley has spent her life avoiding the spotlight. At Smith High, she's the awkward junior people only notice when they need help with homework.

Sucked into a whirlwind of rock stars, paparazzi, and free designer clothes, she even catches the eye of the most popular guy at school. And that's when life gets really interesting... This book was hilarious.  It was like watching a certain fun teen movie starring Freddie Prinze Jr.  (Am I dating myself by saying that?) The book centers around poor Mackenz...
