Secrets Of A First Daughter (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
The first and this book are so, so good. It's fluffly, light, and fun to read. I really enjoyed all the characters and I absolutely adored Max. Even Brits wasn't an annoying evil character, I actually liked her as the villain. I also liked the fact that Calloway didn't make Brits and Morgan become friends like most movies/shows/books do with teenage frenemies. I wish this story continued on though. I had previously read the first book in this short series, Confessions of a First Daughter, and it never really grew on me. The sequal, Secrets of a First Daughter, was actually a little better and I enjoyed it somewhat more. The story starts with the secret relationship between Morgan and Max, just as Morgan and her president mom are about to travel to London. The two young lovers quickly realize that keeping their relationship secret will prove to be difficult. Most of the characters from the first story return, including Brittany. For me, Brittany made the story and moved the plot. She was just so mean and sneeky, I kept reading hoping that she gets what she deserves. The setting also made this book better than the last. I loved the setting in London and the President mingling with the Queen and Prime Minister. I also believed Morgan and Max's relationship a little bit more this time around. I feel like the first book was such a build-up and it kind of left me unsatisfied, but their relationship really picked up this time.My only complaint is the same one I used in my last review for this series: I really don't find it believable that Morgan can just pass herself off as her mother with barely anyone noticing. How can a teenage girl look and sound like her middle-aged mother? What made it even more unbelievable was when the security team was just okay with the disguises. They didn't care that a girl was going around impersonating the president.Overall, I did enjoy this book better than "Confessions," but it still did not pull me in. While I liked it, I definitely didn't love it.
