Kaavya Viswanathan - Plagiarist!

Kaavya Viswanathan became a teenage sensation as she continues to repeat her apology in interviews as she continues to repeat her apology in interviews and getting a six-figure deal for her first novel by the time she entered Harvard and selling the movie rights to Hollywood.
“I really thought the words were my own. I guess it’s just been in my head. I feel as confused as anyone about it, because it happened so many times,” said Kaavya, speaking to media.
Kaavya Viswanathan found literary stardom last year at the age of 17 when publisher Little Brown paid her US$500,000 in a two-book deal. Those in New York’s highly competitive literary world feel that even if she survives this, it will leave a permanent scar on her future.

Her novel How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life has been accused of lifting passages and scenes from Megan McCafferty’s first two books, Sloppy Firsts and Second Helpings.

Everything now hinges on whether her agents and publishers stand by her side. For now, Little Brown and Company who published her book has said that it will not pull the current edition from the stores, and neither will it sue Kaavya for a breach of contract.

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS! VISWANATHAN SHOULD BE SUED AND BANISHED AS A WRITER!
