Review:
I adore Meg Cabot. I think her stories are adorable. But I've got to admit, this wasn't my favourite. I thought the premise was cute--intentional outsider unintentionally saves the life of the President by tackling his would-be assassin, and then becomes an overnight celebrity. Cute premise, but I found myself really disliking the main character every once in awhile--she's in love with her sister's boyfriend (who's a real jerk), and keeps making excuses for his behavior, saying that he's a misunderstood artist. It just came through as irritating, especially when Samantha had a really sweet suitor in the President's teenage son.
Then, all of a sudden, she changes her tune, and is over her sister's boyfriend and is after the President's son...and she's still making excuses for the "misunderstood artist".
Not my fave...mainly due to the characters, but I just love the way Meg Cabot writes.
