This is a chick-lit book with a twist :) I actually enjoyed All American Girl quite a bit (although I'm not usually a fan of chick-lit) and I think it's a great book for a fun, light read. Not one of my favorites, but a nice book all the same. Samantha Madison is an average, cool Washington, D.C., teen: She loves Gwen Stefani (who doesn't?), can draw like nobody's business, and enjoys being opposite to her sister's annoying ultra-social personality. But when she ditches art class one day, she doesn't expect to be jumping on the back of a wannabe presidential assassin. Soon the young hero is receiving worldwide acclaim for her bravery, having dinner with her family at the White House, and is even being named teen ambassador to the UN. As if this weren't enough, she and David, the president's son, strike up a friendship that everyone wants the dirt on, which starts to give her romantic "frisson" feelings. Unfortunately, Sam thinks her sister's boyfriend, Jack, is the true love of her life, and she makes a few wrong turns that could screw up what she's developing with David. Will she ever stop following what she knows and start following what she sees?
The book is hilarious and teen-friendly without being over-the-top (I HATE when books use abbreviations like "OMG" "WTF" and "BTW" coughcough LA Candy). There's the fun little boy-meets-girl element, and thats always nice. It's incredibly unrealistic, but I think that's what gives it it's charm.
I'd recommend it to people who have nothing else to read and are just looking for something light and fun to put them in a good mood. :)
