All-American Girl

All-American Girl
HarperTeen

Samantha Madison is a not-so-typical teenager for a lot of reasons. She wear's only black because she's mourning her generation. She's the artistic outcast at school. Oh, and she saved the President of the United States. Sam's life seems to be normal enough for her, trying to pass German but failing instead, secretly in love with her sister's boyfriend, stuff like that. But when she suddenly finds herself as the top teenager in the United States, she doesn't quite know what to do. As her social status gets sky-rocketed over night, she realizes what, and who, is really important to her.

WARNING: There are a few swear words.

Personal opinion:
I could not put this book down. It was just one of those books. It was pretty funny and totally making fun of the teenage girl, but it was written like a fifteen-year-old was telling the story. Obviously that's how it was supposed to be written, but after a while I got tired of the "she was all like..." sort of stuff. I did like it, though, and was never bored. It's a good, light read and pretty mood lifting if you're in a bad one.
Other books by Meg Cabot: The Princess Diaries Series, Nicola and the Viscount, The Mediator Series
