In time for election year, meet America's first daughter!

Adopted from Pakistan when she was three, Sameera “Sparrow” Righton is not your typical all-American girl. None of this used to matter, but that was before her father decided to run for president of the United States. Now some of her father's campaign staffers think that maybe a dark-skinned, adopted daughter could hurt his chances. They begin to pressure Sameera to change her name to Sammy and to be more “American.” Sameera is torn between molding herself into the perfect daughter and being true to herself. Who will win out? Sparrow? Or Sammy?

The book itself was interesting enough. The characters had a depth to them, and I could relate to Sameera and her dilemmas, and the plot line was alright, but there wasn't anything extraordinary about the way it was written.

Overall Rating: 7/10
First Daughter: EAM or Legally Blonde?: I've never read Amanda Brown's Legally Blonde, but if the movie and the musical are anything to go by, it'd be Legally Blonde - but hey, what do I know?

Happy reading!
