Great fluff book for the beach or for casual reading that doesn't involve a great deal of thinking. Not to say that the book isn't smart - a political teen spin on Romeo and Juliet is new (at least to me) and is well worth a re-read a few years down the road. ( ) The Offspring received the ARC from the author, whom they have adored since Annie's Adventures, which they got to read in manuscript (!). Since everyone else was in the middle of something, I got dibs. Such fun! Enough snark to appeal to fans of The Daily Show and enough heart for those who adore The Princess Dairies. The book is set during a presidential campaign, so it is more focused on that than on issues, although it does lean more towards the purpose of electing people to work on a more perfect union. Since students tend to consider politics as unrelated to them, it's a pleasure to see a character opening to how the horse race ties in to the actual lives of the citizenry. But that's just me politically geeking out. What I especially like is that the developing relationship is about creating a friendship with someone who is also attractive. In all, a zippy, charming read that should appeal to readers on both sides of the aisle. Loved it. Katie has dedicated her entire life to helping her father on the campaign trail. Nothing exists in her world other than keeping her eye on the prize and helping her father work his way up the political ladder. Her dedication pays off when her father is the lead Republican nominee in the race to the White House. Nothing should be able to distract her from the campaign but Drew does just that. Drew has never wanted to be in the political spotlight. But after his father comes into some money, thus changing their lives forever, his mother sets off to achieve her dream of becoming president. When she becomes the lead Democratic nominee, Drew starts to realize that he won’t be able to stay out of politics, especially when his mother’s opponent’s daughter calls him a whip on national television. I was intrigued to read Red Girl, Blue Boy from the synopsis. I’ve been reading some heavier material lately and thought that this would lighten the mood up and provide a quick and fluffy read and it did just that. The characters are lightly written, revealing just enough detail to get the job done. I liked the chemistry between Katie and Drew, during both the good and bad times, but wish I would have seen a little more development. They are both quick to judge and believe rumors which I found to be a little disappointing since the political world revolves around rumors and hearsay. I do, however, feel that this book will be good for younger readers who are curious about politics. If it gets them involved, hopefully they will take that into adulthood and it will help encourage them to stay involved and vote. If you are looking for a slightly cheesy romance that is a quick read, look no further. It was great to pass the time and I would consider reading another from this standalone series. I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest opinion. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
As Katie's father and Drew's mother vie for the Presidency, the sixteen-year-olds start--and end--a romance, but the press finds out, both candidates' poll numbers rise, and the two are asked to flaunt their former relationship. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
