The last thing Addy Davidson wants is to be on a reality TV show where the prize is a prom date 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 all that she was meant to be.
Summary
I picked up this book because the storyline is about a reality show, and I love reality shows. So this is a story about a reluctant teenage girl (think Esther) who got pushed into the limelight as she became the popular girl in a reality show. The reality show’s prize is simply a prom date with a hot and important guy, the President’s son. Addy is the girl in the story and Jonathan is the President’s son. Addy does not want to be in the show, but somehow she caught Jonathan’s attention the most and even the attention of the American Television viewers. However, she is a threat to the rest of the girls, except one girl Kara who decided to be a friend and confidante.
My Thoughts
I guess the story might not seem realistic, but it’s a good entertaining read anyhow. By the way, this book is very easy to read and actually targets teenage girls (of which I’m not!) but I still enjoyed it. I liked that Addy is not perfect in the story, she is not the most pretty or talented but she is unique. Her faith isn’t even strong to start with, and she continued to struggle in it throughout the book. This is very real for teenage girls to identify with. Her life as a whole isn’t perfect either, with lots of sad events growing up. I also love that the writer did not make her out to be super holy and able to keep away from the hot guy, Jonathan. No, like any teenage girl, she found herself very attracted to him. And finally I liked that the book kept to the Bible principles, Do not yoke with unbelievers, a very important principle for our young people today. Addy put high importance in that and knew she was not able to date Jonathan more than a friend if he did not believe in Jesus. However, I do think it might be better if the writer mentioned more about how the two is putting more serious thought into the relationship rather than just go out for a few dates kind of thing. Nevertheless, this book does touch on God and Boy Girl Relationships and how God has got to be in the midst of all things, so it is inspiring for me and will be for any teenager.
