Cute!

Confessions of a First Daughter was a cute, light read. I finished it the same day I started it, and enjoyed it all the way through. I haven't read any books about President's daughters before (I have seen a bunch of movies) so I really liked this one. Morgan was not the stuck up, bratty person you might think the President's daughter would be like, no that role went to someone else. Brittney was your typical snotty, popular girl who tried to make Morgan's life miserable, I was really glad karma got her in the end. I think the plot of Confessions of a First Daughter was really unique; the fact that Morgan has to impersonate her mother is a really neat part of the book. In addition, I really liked Hannah (Morgan's best friend) she was really cool and down to earth. On the other hand I hated Konner, Morgan's boy friend. It really bothered me how he so obviously was only dating Morgan because she was the President's daughter, but Morgan was too blind sided by his popularity that she didn't see the truth. Morgan's security guard, Max, was another character I really liked. His mother's homeless shelter really added a whole new dimension to the novel. Max and Morgan's relationship was sweet and confusing, but I'm glad how it worked out. The ending was great, but there is going to be a sequel- Secrets of a First Daughter which I'm really eager to read. I hadn't heard much about Confessions of a First Daughter, but I highly recommend it. A cute, light read that will leave you wanting a sequel, Cassidy Calloway is a great author I'm looking forward to reading more of her books in the future. If you didn't notice, the cover is red, white, and blue. The girl's shoes are red, her dress white, and the title is in blue. I think the cover is adorable and is a great addition to anyone's collection. Rating; Plot: 9/10 Characters: 8/10 Ending: 10/10 Enjoyment: 9/10 Cover: 10/10 __ Overall: 46/50= 92%

Loved it

Confessions of a First Daughter was a great read! From the very first paragrahp where we are introduced to Morgan Abbott - the daughter of the President of the US, I fell in love with this character. I was refreshingly surprised! Author Calloway chose to make Morgan a very ordinary, likeable and extremely accident prone character - we get absolutely none of the bitchiness that one would expect to see out of the first child (or in this case Tornado) and I absolutely loved that. Morgan is an ordinary teenager who is trying to win the school election, has a wonderful BF and a horrible (or is he?) boyfriend - sounds like a pretty typical teenager to me and to boot, she has a smokin Secret Service Agent who makes this story doubly more interesting. I liked the writing which is always at a great clip and there is no wasted words on boring information and details that we don't know. I think Morgan's dad could have been fleshed out more (her mother also for that matter), but that is a minor comment in an otherwise great story. The only other problem I had, and this one was bigger, is the subplot of Morgan "standing in" for her mother for a few hours - first of all, this did not wash at all with me and it, frankly, felt like a bit of a cheap story ploy that this book did not need at all - as the storyline of Morgan and her escapades stands very well on its own. I am thrilled to see that this is book 1 of a series and I am psyched to read the following books.

A great book

Morgan is a cool kid and a normal teenager - except that she's the daughter of the President of the United States. You would think that she has a lot of advantages, but she doesn't. She's doing poorly in school, got dumped by her boyfriend and the press is out out get her. And to top things off, Morgan has to fight it out with her enemy rival: Brittany - the school snob. Morgan teams up with her BFF and cool bodyguard to help her out in her adventures. This is a fun story and I recommend it to readers.

Fun and exciting!

What a riot! Morgan Abbott is appropriately nicknamed the Tornado by her hunky secret service guy. If it can go wrong, it will for Morgan, daughter of the first-ever female President. We're talking skirt-falling-down-while-on-stage, paparazzi-photos-of-lopsided-boobs, allergy-attack-at-the-Worst-Possible-Moment kind of disasters. The misadventures are funny, but Morgan's thoughts and comments are funnier. Cassidy Calloway has created a character who is a walking disaster but who handles it all gracefully and with a sense of humor. After all, having the President as your mother teaches a girl to be prepared. And prepared she must be if she is going to pull off the big switch, covering for her mom while she does some presidential negotiation out of town. Can Morgan pull it off, or will this be her biggest disaster yet? I won't tell you what happens. I will say I laughed. A lot. Out loud. Throw in some yummy guys, a dash of international intrigue and some white chocolate gingersnaps, and you've got Confessions of a First Daughter. Confessions is fun. It's exciting. I can't wait to see what Cassidy Calloway comes up with next.

Morgan, aka the Tornado, has a unique talent for messing up and getting into trouble. Normal teens might get away with some of her mishaps, but not the President's daughter. Since she's in the limelight, some of her escapades actually become news. She's just lost her school's presidential race. She's trying to juggle her boyfriend, schoolwork, and a best friend all while under intense security scrutiny. When her security detail switches, she finds herself developing feelings for her Secret Service bodyguard. Morgan's also having a hard time communicating with her mother. Their talks are always interrupted with special meetings and phone calls. It seems like her mother has time for everyone in the world, except her only daughter. When her mother needs to address a vital situation, Morgan fills in as the President of the United States. While Morgan simply wants to live a normal life, is it possible to have average experiences given that she lives in the White House? Or will she adjust and learn to like the advantages that come with her mother's station? Cassidy Calloway writes an expose of a first daughter's life filled with hilarious moments, a little romance, and saving the world one meeting at a time. Morgan's adventures are not to be missed.
