Newly appointed from normal, unnoticed high school sophomore to teen ambassador to the UN, Samantha Madison continues her journey in life. Now a junior and eager to spend time with her boyfriend David, a.k.a. The President's son, Sam encounters some very strange things in Ready or Not. She is contemplating whether or not she is ready to have sex with David. While given the opportunity to spend time with him at Camp David over Thanksgiving, she is nervous and eager. Meanwhile, her popular sister Lucy just happens to be falling in love with her SAT tutor, who for once won't pay any attention to her. Everything is going fairly good until she bombs a press conference with the president, portraying her views on teenage sex and protection issues, which just happen to be the opposite of the president's. In the end, well lets just say Sam and David had a good time at Camp David, even though the trip was cut short.

I loved reading Ready or Not. It was almost as good as All-American Girl. Meg Cabot happens to be my favorite author and I love every book she's written. I liked every aspect of the book and wouldn't change anything, especially the ending. If you enjoyed her first All-American Girl novel, then you'll definitely enjoy this one as well. I like the way the book leaves you on the edge of your seat. I would recommend this book to mature readers because of some opinions and undertones expressed throughout the book. Anyone in 8th through 12th grades will be safe to read. I really encourage every teen girl to read this book.
