Seventeen year old Reagan Tyler wants it all and she'll do whatever it takes to get it.
When she suddenly discovers the ability to tug on people's heartstrings, she's that much closer to reaching her goal, going to prom with Justin, the most popular boy in school. Pulling on the strings can get Reagan whatever she wants, but it doesn't last and isn't without consequence. Sometimes the results aren't always the best. Getting to Justin isn't going to be easy. Being a shy loner in school hasn't gotten her into the popular crowd, but befriending Justin's best friend, Levi and using him along with the rest of the crowd around the popular boy to get her goal may just work.
Trying to keep her parents love string together, keeping track of all the new friendships she's forced and getting Justin to notice her is hard, but worth it. Until she finally gets to spent time with Justin. Can she reverse the strings and get out of her own web, or will she lose the love that's been in front of her the whole time?

This book was interesting. The main character, Reagan, isn't super likeable. She's manipulative and vain. Very self centered. All she cares about is going to prom with Justin, the most popular boy in school and on the soccer team. She uses just about everyone she know by pulling on their heartstrings, little floss like strings she can see in everyones hearts. It's an interesting concept, one I haven't seen before.
She starts out by keeping her parents from getting a divorce then moves on to using her friends and ever her sister to work through the social ladder to get to Justin. The whole time Justin's best friend, Levi, is sort of pining for her. A typical YA love triangle, except he end up dating her sister.
The book cleaverly keeps the relationships real, except for the stalker. That was different. Sometimes he doesn't understand why he's stalking her. Most of the relationships she damages aren't easily fixed and the friends don't readily forgive her. Levi even rejects her. It's very true to life in the respect that forgiveness has to be earned.
The writing feels a little sluggish and the dialogue is too grammatically correct for humans, but the read was fun. I finished it in one day.
