Back/Inside Cover:Top ten things Samantha Madison isn't ready for:
10. Spending Thanksgiving at Camp David
9. With her boyfriend, the president's son
8. Who appears to want to take their relationship to the Next Level
7. Which Sam inadvertently and shockingly announces live on MTV
6. While appearing to support the president's dubious policies on families, morals, and yes, sex
5. Juggling her new after-school job at Potomac Video
4. Even though she already has a job as teen ambassador to the UN (that she doesn't get paid for)
3. Riding the Metro and getting accosted because she's "the redheaded girl who saved the president's life," in spite of her new, semipermanent Midnight Ebony tresses
2. Experiencing total role reversal with her popular sister Lucy, who for once can't get the guy she wants
and the number-one thing Sam isn't ready for?
1. Finding out the hard way that in art class, "life drawing" means "naked people."
My Thoughts:
I loved this book! It had everything from those “Omg! That is totally my life right now!” moments to the moments when I just wanted to reach into the book, grab the character by the colar, and tell them to either work it out or move on already! The way in which Cabot wrote this is totally relatable, even if you haven’t saved the president’s life or dated his son. It’s funny, somewhat realistic, sad, basically? Amazing.
Reccommendations for...:
This would make sense to kids as young as 5th grade, but honestly? In order to relate better I'd say like 7th grade and up. That's just because the characters are all highschool and up. I mean, the youngest character is a sophomore (10th grade), so highschoolers can relate better. But hey, who am I to put an age limit on books?! Either way, enjoy :)
