      So same characters, different subject matter. I feel like this was Cabot's homage to Blume's Forever. Maybe just me...
    • 4/5
      While I’m initially wary of a sequel to a stand-alone book, I have been proven a few times that it can, indeed, work. I have no idea why I rated this so low at first, but on picking it up again, I loved this book, and actually think it’s better than All-American Girl. Unlike Mia from the Princess Diaries, Sam is a much more emotionally mature and capable character, which is great considering that the whole book is about teen sex and dealing with it in a positive light. Sam and her sister Lucy aren’t afraid to talk about it with each other (even if Sam is a little shy about it), and it really gets into the nasty business of slut-shaming and how to deal with it. Also, I like the fact that Sam and David are very attracted to each other, and are comfortable with that fact as well. For every parent who freaks out over their kids reading about “OMG ONOEZ THE SEX BUSINESS”, I highly recommend this book (and the first one!) as a mature approach to the whole business.

      3Q, 4PCabot does a decent job depicting the 17-year-old protagonist's ordinary and at the same time extraordinary everyday life. I like that Cabot touches upon sensitive yet important topics such as safe sex and school bullying. The story is fast paced and the language is true to life. However, the ending seems to me a little abrupt; and the male protagonist's character development is very little compared with that of the female's...though that kind of makes sense as the book is written solely from the girl's point of view.

      This was good. I liked it, but I wasn't crazy about the fact that, for a sequel, she made the book all about SEX! I wish she would have focused on something else at least a little bit during the book. We get that Sam and Daniel want to go all the way but does their relationship last? What else is happening while Sam is debating losing her virginity??

      I truly loved this book. It was a great quick read with a funny twist at the end! I admire Meg Cabot's writing style!

      This book is the sequel to All American Girl but I listened to it without having listened to the first book. Then I liked it so much I went back and listened to All American Girl as well. I don’t feel like it mattered that much that I listened to them out of order.Ready or Not is the story of Samantha Madison, the girl who saved the President of the United States life in All American Girl. She’s the teenage ambassador to the UN and has been dating the First Son for over a year. She is trying to decide if she is “ready or not” to have sex with her boyfriend. I thought this book handled teenage sex very responsibly. There was a lot of discussion of birth control, disease prevention options and the emotional after effects and Sam took the decision very seriously. There were not any graphic sex scenes or anything.I’ve decided that Meg Cabot books make the perfect audio books - great narrators and light and funny plots that don’t require a lot of concentration. I’m quickly working my way through my library’s collection.

      I was honestly pretty disappointed by this book. Sure, it's a continuance of All-American Girl, which I liked a lot, but I expected more from it. I'm surprised that Meg Cabot included sex in one of her books. She usually makes her heroines so innocent, they won't even drink or party like so many teenagers do nowadays. Sex is another matter entirely, though, and this book was filled with references to that topic. In fact, that topic basically took over the book, and it was relatively graphic in that way for a Meg Cabot book and pretty disgusting. I thought while I was reading it that the main character, Sam, at almost seventeen years of age, would choose not to have sex, since throughout the book, she seemed to be leaning away from it, saying that she wasn't ready. Then, at the last minute, her mind changed. Although the scene was not described (thankfully), it was discussed mildly afterward, but it was treated as if it had been nothing special, nothing deep or personal. It just happened. And the book was actually almost concluded on that note. That doesn't exactly send out a great message, especially for younger readers. That's also really weird because Meg Cabot's books usually do have morals, but this one really didn't. It kind of ruined the story for me, and I really wish Meg Cabot had written it differently, or left All-American Girl as a stand-alone novel. A lot of things really changed from the first book besides the sex situation. Sam suddenly went back to being unhappy and unpopular, which isn't realistic, since she was in an ecstatic state at the conclusion of the first book and everyone loved her. Things don't just change like that. Also, some things were kind of dumb, like Sam's boyfriend, David, making up so-called "white trash" names for them to call each other. Overall, I wouldn't waste my time reading it if I were a major All-American Girl fan because the first book is so much better that the second book is bound to disappoint. But if you're like me and you have to finish a series no matter what, you'll have to read this as a follow up to All-American Girl. To Meg Cabot's credit, though, this book still had it's entertaining moments.

      awsome sequel to the first.
    • 3/5
      Sam is happily dating the president's son, getting ready to take new art classes, and despising her school. When David invites her to take their relationship to a new level - spend Thanksgiving weekend with him, Sam has to decide is she ready to take the big step of saying Yes to sex. This was a lessen in political activism and sex education wrapped up in a comic blanket. While I'd recommend it to fans of the first book, I thought it felt a bit flat.
    • 5/5
      If you liked All-American Girl,then you'll like this book. It's a great sequel and Cabot deals with issues that teenage girls face today. It's true that the main character, Sam, spends a good time thinking about her relationship with David. This of course, includes whether or not she's ready to have sex. This is something that all teen girls, and for that matter- all teen boys, think about. I think it admirable that Meg Cabot chose to include such a topic. If the author had not touched upon this, it would be an unrealistic look at a teenager's life. This book has been recommended for grades 9 and up. I'd agree with that. By that age, most young adults are mature enough to read about the topic of sex. And while many things influence the decision of whether or not to have sex (friends, movies, alchol), there is no reason to skip this book for fear of it deciding for them.

      Wow talk about a bad sequel! I didn't like this book. I bought it because it was the sequel to All American Girl. But I was so disappointed. The book was all "Should I have sex or not?". No focus on anything else. If I could go back in time, I wouldn't have read it.
    • 4/5
      The Second book in this series, Sam Madison is still dealing with having saved the president, being in love with his son and getting through high school. Having dyed her shocking red hair black she's trying to be a little more inconspicious but failing and trying to decide where the next level of her relationship with her boyfriend will be, and how far she's willing to go!She's also about to start life drawing, nudes! Some of the funniest parts are in the studio!A bit adult in some parts for younger teenagers this does address some of the issues of teenage sex and saying no. Not bad but not the favourite one I've read and some of her top 10 movies are definitely over 18's material. If you were giving it to a younger girl I'd suggest reading it first to see if you're happy with the issues and themes.
    • 2/5
      I had my reservations about teh first book, so it took me forever to actually pick it up. but I liked it. This one was an almost 'Why not' kind of pick, but I found it disappointing. It seemed like such an issue book. And then there was all this random stuff about movies. Uh... don't care. It felt weird, and didn't add anything to the story. The story itself was one giant angst-fest, then when the conflict finally gets resolved, it's very much in a 'yeah, it's okay now' sort of way. Very disappointing.

      I liked it but not as much as All-American Girl.
