Yet more plagarism allegations for Kaavya Viswanathan, this time that passages clustered in the last third of her book, How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life, strongly resemble sections of Can You Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella. (Yes, that's right, the accusation is that Viswanathan has stolen work from another writer in addition to Megan McCafferty.)
