Teen Idol by Meg Cabot

Can you keep a secret? Jen Greenley can. That is why she was selected to be the advice columnist for her school newspaper. Being soft-spoken, she is trusted by everyone and knows she doesn't stand up for herself--until teen hearthrob Luke Striker somes to town.

Going undercover to learn a role for  a movie, Luke trusts Jen to keep his secret. During his stay, Luke tells Jen that she should start standing up for the people who can't speak for themselves instead of consoling them. More importantly, he wants her to stand up for herself.

Good story.

Ready or Not by Meg Cabot

In the sequel to All American Girl, Samantha Madison has even more trouble coming her way. As teen ambassador to the United Nations and the girlfriend to the President's son, she has the camera on her face more than she likes. She has to watch everything that comes out of her mouth, and it doesn't help that she accidentally implies that she and David have had sex, but the truth is that they never have. To pump up her stress, it seems as if David is hinting that he wants their relationship to reach the next level.

What is Sam going to do when David invites her to their summer house to be alone?

This novel and the previous one have a great perspective of growing into adulthood.

All American Girl by Meg Cabot

Outcast Samantha Madison tries to make a statement: you don't have to dress and act like everyone else to be cool, so she dyes her entire wardrobe black. However, being the sister of a head cheerleader who is also Miss Brainiac, Sam is the "black sheep" of the family. To make matters worse, she is falling in love with her sister's rebelious artistic boyfriend Jack.

In oder to become closer to Jack, Sam joins an art class where she meets David, who is exactly like she is, only he digs deeper into the soul. One day, while walking to class, she saves the U.S. President's life by jumping on the back of the would-be assassin.

Her quiet life is turned upside down when she has interviewers and bodyguards on her back 24-7, and to make matters worse, David is the President's son.

Will Sam's life ever be the same, or will being a hero make her jump off the deep end?
