How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild and Got a Life and Kaavya Viswanathan
It was too good to last - a book by a very young author making headlines all over the world , her fantastic (by any standards) advance for books yet to be thought of, let alone written, immediate world wide recognition - could all have been straight out of a book (Maybe written by herself?).
Was it active plagiarisation, or a subconscious retention of passages read and transcribed?
A pity that a budding career had to be so swiftly nipped.
Will anyone publish her again?
