 First line: "The moment my horrible yearbook photo first appeared on millions of televisions, sending jaws dropping, phones ringing, and joggers tumbling off their treadmills across America, I was in the middle of my AP US history final." 
 A story that hit all the emotions (for me, especially anger because OMG MOST OF THE ADULTS ARE THE WORST EVER) and had a really well-developed main character in Kate, who, despite being thrown into an insane situation, felt like such a real person and had very understandable reactions (though I wish she would've stood up for herself more). The plot delved quite deeply into the politics which I was happy to see. I quite like political-focused fiction (funnily enough, I hate politics in real life). 
 Despite feeling very genuine, I was never felt the sort of connection I was hoping for. I also didn't have any strong feelings towards Andy, though he is a sweet kid.
