I remember a couple of lessons from that book:

1. Just because you don't like someone doesn't make them a bad person or a bad partner for someone you love. (I heard the sequel undid that and made the "guy who mc thinks is a jerk because he's popular actually turns out to be a good guy" into "actually let's make him really a jerk after all so mc's sister can Give Geeks a Chance." Meg Cabot, you preteen.)

2. True art is about poverty, and people who live in nice places don't exist. (... Meg Cabot, you preteen.)

I’m confused by the second lesson. I get the whole “True art comes from poverty/misery/depression” thing, because that’s unfortunately common. What I don’t get is what Meg Cabot means by saying people who live in a nice place don’t exist?

Also, I know it’s a comment about her maturity level, but I’ve never heard someone call a grown person a preteen before. It sounds like she definitely writes like one at times, I’m just commenting on this being my first time hearing it.

In the book, the main character has to pick the winner of an art contest for kids where the instructions were "Paint what you see when you look outside your bedroom window." Her assistants all like a painting by a girl from some New England state that shows a picturesque field with flowers and trees and a deer. But the MC decides it's so perfect it must be fake, and chooses a painting of a building wall with graffiti all over it. Never mind that homes like the former are extremely common in rural areas, deer and all. But noooooo the girl who painted that picture was lying about where she lived because how could anyone possibly live somewhere that's not a city dump.

IDK, preteen just felt right. Probably because I read the book as a youngish teenager and even then I thought its message was childish, so preteen it is.
