In April 2006, Kaavya's first novel, How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild and Got a Life, was published. Shortly after publication, the Harvard Crimson printed allegations that the author plagiarized passages from two novels by Megan McCafferty. The subsequent storm of national publicity led her publisher, Little, Brown and Company, to withdraw all editions of the book, derailed plans by DreamWorks SKG to develop Opal Mehta into a movie, and encouraged readers to identify possible additional plagiarism within its pages.
On May 2, 2006, Michael Pietsch, Little, Brown's senior vice president, released a statement saying "Little, Brown and Company will not be publishing a revised edition of How Opal Mehta Got Kissed, Got Wild, and Got a Life by Kaavya Viswanathan, nor will we publish the second book under contract."

Get the Kaavya mug.A kaavya is found to be the most useless and unproductive entity know to mankind. A kaavya is distinctly characterized by their abnormal behavior and their near non- existent IQ. Kaavya are a species of unidentified creatures who have evolved to live around humans. Other than their obvious name, a kaavya can be recognized by their unusually vain character. A Kaavya usually is found in the company of humans due to their lack of ability to fend for themselves in the wild. However, in recent years, multiple Kaavya’s have been found. Therefore they have equipped themselves with methods to defend themselves.
For example : their bad jokes.
Whenever a kaavya feels like it’s under threat, it tells a bad joke which renders the humans around it incapacitated and brain dead.
Well, you may now ask the question, why don’t kaavya socialize with other kaavya?
Ans: Research has shown that kaavya are too primitive to recognize other entities of the same species.
Although kaavya are known for their lack of intelligence, they still pose a major threat to humanity.
A man was once seen coming in close contact with a kaavya, the next day he was found at the bottom of a building.
