Not gonna lie, I love when YA books deal with sex instead of pretending that's something that teenagers never have and never should have. This one even treats masturabtion as healthy way of sexual expression, which is even more awesome, if you ask me.

I used to think that people overreacted to Sam colouring her hair black, in a way that would not happen in real life, but I've realized that since she has natural red hair it's probably not that farfetched. My sister is a redhead, and random people will stop her in the street complementing her hair: I can imagine that America's sweetheart redhead going black might not thrill people.

Other than that there's some sort of other plots going on, but mostly it's about sex and the dangers of abstinence-only education and I think it's done in a pretty good way. ( )

"1.5 out of 5 stars. Meg Cabot has a way of writing books that I usually like ... but in this instance the narrative ramblings and worries of Sam make reading the book a very slow process. I mean I did enjoy..."

I was really excited when I heard that All-American Girl had a sequel. While the book wasn't bad, it was sort of unnecessary. It didn't take anything away from the story but it also didn't add anything to it. I still enjoyed myself reading it but not as much as the first book. ( )
