This book was way different than my usual reads, and I liked it despite that. It was interesting to read about this sort of thing that happened to Kate, because it hardly happens and it was totally different than the other books going around. 
 I admit that the only that really put me off was the way it was converted from book to ebook on Kindle and the layout was wrong in places. But other than that, it was a nice story, even if I didn't really care much more for politics, although seeing how 2016 is next year I should probably change my way of thinking lol. But seriously, the campaign was a huge part of the story and Kate and her new family. After getting the news that her father was a senator in the running for the President of US months after her mom died, Kate was whisked off to her new family, step-mom Meg and step-siblings Grace and Gabe who are twins. 
 I liked the fact that they didn't welcome her with open arms. It was realistic how they reacted to her. They were each wary of each other but as time went on, they learned to be a family to each other. Sure, the senator Mark Cooper was worried about everything that was going on, so he neglected Kate, and it even seemed like he never wanted her there, but after a heartfelt conversation between them after she ran away and left them, it was obvious how much her new family meant to each other. 
 Kate was in over her head with all the things that were going around, and she was stressed out and lonely so she sort of accidentally became friends with Andy Lawrence, the First Son, the son of the enemy, President Lawrence. I'll admit that my favorites parts in the whole story were between Andy and Kate. Whenever they talked on the phone or actually managed to get together and talk face to face it was sweet and funny and real. Their romance was cute and I wanted more from them but I was still satisfied that they ended up together despite the fact that people were against them. 
 I liked that this book wasn't just about politics, it was more about family and relationships. Kate was lost in the beginning of the book after her mother died but after being with the Cooper's, she found her way and was finally happy again. She finally had a family and a boyfriend and was going to her dream college, Harvard, and she knew that everything was going to be alright.
