Ready or Not by Meg Cabot

Top ten things Samantha Madison isn't ready for:

10. Spending Thanksgiving at Camp David

9. With her boyfriend, the president's son
8. Who appears to want to take their relationship to the Next Level
7. Which Sam inadvertently and shockingly announces live on MTV
6. While appearing to support the president's dubious policies on families, morals, and yes, sex
5. Juggling her new after-school job at Potomac Video
4. Even though she already has a job as teen ambassador to the UN (that she doesn't get paid for)
3. Riding the Metro and getting accosted because she's "the redheaded girl who saved the president's life," in spite of her new, semipermanent Midnight Ebony tresses
2. Experiencing total role reversal with her popular sister Lucy, who for once can't get the guy she wants

And the number-one thing Sam isn't ready for?
1. Finding out the hard way that in art class, "life drawing" means "naked people.

I did not enjoy this book because it does not have so much of a story. This book talks about how the main character, Samantha Madison saves the President's life by taking a bullet for him and breaking her arm (we don't know any details other than that) and then starts dating the President's son, David. 
Her boyfriend, after dating for several years, asks her to join his family for Thanksgiving which makes Samantha immediately assume that he wants to take their relationship the the next level. There is this whole build up of tension and on the day it's self, she has prepared herself to let him down nicely and to tell him she is no ready, he does not come so she barges into his room. They end up having sex. 

This book, in my perspective, was a real let down because I liked some of Meg's other books so when I heard about this one, I didn't bother reading the reviews. I definitely should have because this book was not enjoyable to read.
