Book Review: Ready or Not
Ready or Not by Meg Cabot
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
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.
