First Date by Krista McGee


Addy Davidson is both shocked and dismayed to learn that she has been chosen to represent her school on the new Reality TV show, The Book of Love. On which the president's son will choose from one hundred girls the one girl he will take to his senior prom.

At first Addy does her best to get off the show, but that is before she starts to realize that the First Son, Jonathan Jackson, is turning out to be a pretty cool guy, handsome, nice, down to earth, and surprisingly unimpressed with the 99 other girls throwing themselves at him.

At first I didn't realize the fact that this story was based on Esther from the Bible, but as time wore on it became really evident. I could really relate to the main character, (with her dislike for attention, love of solitude and reading, and fear of sharing her faith,) which is always a cool thing to find. 
Overall the book was pretty good with likable and believable characters and I pretty cool plot, though the fact that the author was trying to make it like Esther made a couple scenes seem a little fake and forced. But in the end I did really enjoy the book and it was a really fun easy read.

I received this book free from the publisher through BookSneeze®.com
