A quick read that was surprisingly good! I thought this book was really very funny!
In short, the main character is a middle child artist who wears all black and has a crush on her older sister's boyfriend. When she saves the president from an assassination attempt, her world is turned upside down and, of course, she finds herself in the process.
I found this book to be candid, honest, and (as I said before) funny. This was a thoroughly enjoyable read for a day off of work!

A great turn around novel for Meg Cabot. The others I have read lately have been a little young for me. However this one was cute. Sam Madison was the average teenager until she saves the life of the President of the United States. She then learns that life isn't everything it is supposed to be. This book contains comedy, love, and excitement. I wish it could have been a little more adultish but it was a good young adult book so I can't complain.
It got a rating of 3 out of 5. A good read for the 12-15 year old range.

A gift from the holidays, baby's first Meg Cabot. Cute and soooo 15, fun to read as a recently-minted DMV girlie! A fitting book to finish on my...30th birthday?

I loved these books as a kid. They are a bit cringe now, though I still find the teen romance cute and sweet, the way adults love to joke about toddlers interacting now will be getting married one day. I also loved the feel of stepping back a generation, before cell phones and when having a Hispanic friend was a novelty.
This one is probably one of her lesser books, in truth, because I think she sacrifices the character at the end. This is not a story of a girl rejecting ideas that people have pushed on her and learning to think for herself, but rather a story of a girl rejecting ideas that people have pushed on her...and replacing them with nonoriginal ideas that new and different people push on her. Part of my adverse reaction is probably vegetarian bias, since shooting out windows in protest of animal testing isn't the universally acknowledged act of evil the author seems to want us to assume it is.
