How Opal Metha Lost Her Life

By now you might have heard the controversy over the book How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life by a Harvard student Kaavya Viswanathan. The Harvard paper discovered similiarities between Viswanathan's book and a couple other "chick-lit" books including those of authors Megan McCafferty and Sophie Kinsella.

Her publisher has since withdrawn the book from bookstores and cancelled her publishing contract. Read the latest about the controversy at this story from Yahoo! News.
