Popularity: The Diary of a Teenage Outcast

Maya has never been popular, quite the opposite: a shy honor student stuck on the lower rungs of the "school social ladder." But she decides to embark on a bold experiment: to follow the advice from a book written in the 1950s by model Betty Cornell for teenagers dreaming of becoming popular for an entire school year.

So what is popularity really?
