have you been following this story? She was all over the Today show/ Good Morning America/ etc about a month ago, and I remember thinking at the time that she was really poised. and then I saw her in the Yard and I wished Natalie Portman still went here so I could have a real celeb sighting.
But ANYWAY. I can't believe how BLATANT her plagiarism was. i love this page, which gives all the examples:

and i'm sort of in disbelief at her half-ass explanation ("i must have INTERNALIZED the wording..." uh huh. right-o.)
eg:
‘YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE’
From page 6 of McCafferty’s first novel: “Sabrina was the brainy Angel. Yet another example of how every girl had to be one or the other: Pretty or smart. Guess which one I got. You’ll see where it’s gotten me.”
From page 39 of Viswanathan’s novel: “Moneypenny was the brainy female character. Yet another example of how every girl had to be one or the other: smart or pretty. I had long resigned myself to category one, and as long as it got me to Harvard, I was happy. Except, it hadn’t gotten me to Harvard. Clearly, it was time to switch to category two.”
