5. She's just saved the president of the United States from an assassination attempt
4. So the whole world thinks she's a hero

2. And now she's been appointed teen ambassador to the UN

And the number one reason Sam's life is over?
1. The president's son just might be in love with her

   As a teenage girl, I readily stuck my nose into this quirky read. As this is one of the few books that I can read over and over again (and still enjoy as much as I did the first time), the fresh voice of Sam Madison brightened my day as she narrated her tale of teenage angst and innocent romance.
    
  The plot is one of a kind with its hot first son and the musings of an average teenage girl who just happens to save the leader of the free world. Sam's antics caused me to explode in fits of laughter (especially her lists). 

 One of my favorite things about the book is that every girl can relate to what Sam goes through (the angst, most likely not the saving the president stuff). Although the book is fairly simple and a bit predictable, I would definitely recommend it to teens that need to relax and have a good laugh.
