This book is a MUST-READ! It was so funny and quirky (in a good way) that I couldn't put it down! The chemistry between Maya and Camden was H.O.T and hilarious at the same time.

Camden's laziness, cockiness, popularity but also his way of showing love really won me over. The story was very well plotted and the characters were PERFECT!I don't think I saw any flaws.

I think the author did an amazing job at writing such a book that would make me want to read it over and over again! This book has certainly got my vote for funniest book of the year.

Read it guys, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!

Maya is your typical high school nerd. She toes the line, does her homework, and helps out at her family's restaurant after school. Then the unthinkable happens. She makes a majorly bad judgement call and needs to come up with some major cash fast or her family could lose everything. She teams up with an unlikely partner, Camden, the cute (but stupid) popular boy of the school. Together they hatch a scheme that is supposed to help Maya solve her problem...but things never turn out the way you expect them to.

Maya is a great main character. She has her flaws but does her best to hide or make up for them. She grows up a lot in the story and is forced to realize that she can't solve everything herself. Camden is an alright main guy for the story. He is a very stereotypcial popular guy. He's rich, gets everything he wants, and like to throw money at problems.

I think the book needed one of two things. A few less pages - there were times it seemed as if I was reading the same chapter over again - or more twists and turns. More twists and turns would have given the author a chance to develop some of the secondary characters a bit more. Because I didn't feel as if I knew any of them very well the ending seemed to come out of nowhere. Overall, well worth the read though.

This is a story that tells a story of a girl who gets herself into trouble. It could have turned out okay until she tried to cover up what she had done. And then it was too late to turn around. ( )

What do you do when you get fined 10 thousand dollars for not cleaning up the family resturant after closing? Start doing rich kids homework for money ofcourse. Maya an overachieving girl is in a problem she can't solve. Until the rich but hot jerk Camden King comes in with the solution ofcourse. What they don't know won't hurt them right?
Cherry Cheva's first novel was very well written and judging by this generation seems highly possible in the real world.

Maya is your typical above average asian, strict parents and above average friend. Maya basically doesn't have much of an exciting life. That is until her parents leave her in charge of the resturant for a day. Alone after closing she and her brother slack off and choose to clean up tomorrow. Little did they know that the health department was coming over tomorrow while they were at school. Maya comes backfrom school with a 10 thousand dollar shock. As she covers her mistake with lies, she meets her new issue. Camden King. A below average popular hot rich kid that is her new student to tutor. Maya just wants to get it over with but Camden has other thoughts. She soon finds herself telling lie after lie but soon confines in Camden about her 10 thousand dollar fine from the health department. And Camden's solution is to create the biggest sheme in her entire life. Her friends somehow finds their way into this sheme and Maya soon sees her world tumbling down along with her lies. How will she get out of this now ?

This novel mixes in romance with humor. Looking into a teen's stress and future was an exciting read. For those who enjoy romance and humor, I would highly recommend it. ( )

She’s so Money was such an amazing read! I loved the humor, the witty comebacks, and the creative outbursts—a prostitute, a rice-patty farmer, shipping you off to Thailand’s boarding school!

My friend had asked me to read this book for fun but at times I just had to stop to grab some sticky-notes to save that page or quotes because they made me laughed out loud so much. Here’s a small sample of some that I absolutely adore: “The girl is fourteen and has a rack as big as my head. Or, I guess, two of my heads. If you want to get technical.” And another one, “I smiled back with an expression that I hoped said, “I understand,” and not, “Your husband’s a douche,”…” There’s a lot more but you’ll have to buy your copy for that ;P

There was also this one part where Maya’s mother had told her a story about this family they knew in Ohio that I loved. It was something that my parents would do exactly if I were in her position!—exaggerate a small situation to persuade me not to do something, “…where she was free from the corruption of America.” XD another line that I loved!

I would’ve liked to see the romantic aspect of Maya’s and Camden’s relationship developed some more though. I guess in my mind there was a gap between from when it went from business partners to dating, a bit rushed.

Also, the punishment that Maya received from this ‘little’ adventure should’ve been a bit more severe in my mind. Made up this huge cheating gig? Well that will cost you one shiny little penny mister oh, and a 3 day suspension :D. Maybe it’s my opinion and whatnot, but I didn’t think she should’ve still been accepted into her college of her choice at least.

Overall: A really hilarious read that had me waking up at 7:30 AM just to finish when it wasn’t even a school day! “Cherry Cheva is hilarious! She’s So Money is a kick-booty read!”—Lauren Myracle. I cannot agree with this quote even more (…well I would’ve changed the booty into something less appropriate ;P )! I eagerly waiting for Cherry’s next YA book~ Pick your copy up if you want to understand everything I just said! XD ( )
