All-American Girl by Meg Cabot
2.0
I read this book almost 15 years ago in high school. I was a huge Meg Cabot fan back then and devoured everything of hers. When I had a credit on Audible I thought I’d reread it just to see if I still liked it. Well...
Maybe it’s because I’m no longer a teenager, but the main character drives me NUTS. As an artist and teacher myself, all I see is someone who think she knows everything (but then again, don’t we all at that age?) and who is in love with an older boy, her sisters boyfriend by the way, who actively encourages her not to learn, but to fight the system. Her sister is equally self absorbed. I’m not saying that that is not typical of teenagers, but for some reason most of the characters were just grating. But, then again, I’m no longer the target audience for this book.
As a side note, I’d love to take a class from Susan Boone! She is written so well.
Anyway, I much prefer Avalon HIgh.
