Addy Davidson is the last girl in the country who wants to be on the new reality TV show to win a date to prom with the President's son. She's focused on her schoolwork so she can get a scholarship to an Ivy League college, uncomfortable in the spotlight, never been on a date, and didn't even audition for it. But she got selected anyway.
So she does her best to get eliminated on the very first show… right before she realizes that the President's son is possibly the most attractive guy she has ever seen in person, surprisingly nice, and seemingly unimpressed by the 99 other girls who are throwing themselves at him.
Addy's totally out of her comfort zone-but that may be right where God can show her the most about who she is . . . and who she was meant to be.
My Review:
This book has been given the title of a modern day Esther. Addy, a beautiful young lady who doesn't see it in herself, is focused on school and not boys. When her high school principal selects her to appear on a new tv show to win a prom date with the president's son she is anything but enthused. She agrees, however, when her uncle/gaurdian reminds her that God has a purpose in everything.
Throughout the book Addy struggles with revealing her belief in Jesus with a group of girls who are more concerned with how they look and who's attention they can get. Through it all, though, Addy discovers that doing the right thing isn't always easy, doesn't always end in the result we expect, but it can have a huge impact.
McGee's writing style draws the reader in and makes them feel right at home. She captures the hearts and emotions of the teenagers she writes about. The reading is light, pleasant, and enjoyable with a message that doesn't beat you over the head but still shines through. A great read for young teenage or preteen girls. The guys will find it a little to "girly".
