D'oh!
A reader alerted The New York Times to at least three portions of "How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life," by Kaavya Viswanathan, that are similar to passages in the novel "Can You Keep a Secret?," by Sophie Kinsella.

Help send Ben Burgis to Clarion West
As some of you may remember, I applied to Clarion West this year. I did not get in, alas, but this fellow did and now he needs a little help.
Clarion is NOT a cheap proposition. Tuition is $3,900, which includes room and board, but there are still travel expenses, lots of meals, computer equipment, time needed off work, and other expensive things. All told it can easily run up to 6K. So Ben has set up a donation page where you can PayPal him a few bucks to reduce expenses.
Please consider supporting Ben. A few dollars can go a long way. Clarion West is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and he deserves to go in style!
