A quick and fairly entertaining read. Confessions of a First Daughter is a humorous look at what life might be like as the president's daughter. Morgan Abbott's mom is not only the president of the US, she's the first woman president. Morgan is use to the politics and having powerful and impressive parents, but she's still not quite use to always being surrounded by the Secret Service. She's also not use to some of the crazy situations her clumsiness and not always well thought out, but well

Morgan Abbott is a clumsy 18 year old senior. High school mishaps are embarrassing enough as it is and Morgan has it worse than most girls. Why, you might ask? Her every move is watched, videotaped, photographed, and parodied on TV. She didn’t choose this life…she was elected to it. Her mother, AKA Mom, is who we like to call, Madam President. That’s right, Morgan is the First Daughter. After a few embarrassing debacles like, her skirt coming off during the class presidential debate Morgan is as

Morgan Abbot, daughter of the president of the United States is sick of living her life in the spotlight. She is sick of having no social life. She is sick of being constantly followed by her secret service agent.

This book was really cute and a fast read. I really liked Morgan's character. Even though she is the presidents daughter she doesn't have a lot of friends in school and isn't treated like royalty. She has one best friend, Hannah. And a boyfriend, Konner who only likes her because of who she is, that Morgan doesn't realize until later in the book. But then Morgan gets a new secret serviceman, Max to watch her but, she doesn't plan on falling head over heels in love with him. The end of the book w

A cute little YA read. I quickly soared through this book with just over 200 pages. A funny and quirky story about a girl who is in the middle of her senior year and trying to cope with the cool crowd when she doesn't fit in. At the same time, she is the daughter of the first female president at a time of unrest in Mexico.
A story filled with moments of comedy and endearment. I loved reading about a woman president and her unique relationship with her husband and daughter. How interes More...

This YA contemporary novel was cute, funny, quick, entertaining, light and fluffy read. This book contained many humorous moments that kept me intrigued and quickly turning the pages to see what was going to happen next.
Firstly we meet Morgan a normal, clumsy teenage girl, attending high school about to give her speech for president of her class. However there is a twist, there is nothing normal about Morgan, first off she is the only daughter to the first female president of the U More...

Cute story, quick, light reading. Morgan Abbott's mother is the first female President of the United States, putting Morgan more in the spotlight than she prefers. She attends a private school with other members of D.C. elite, including her popular, but obnoxious boyfriend Konnor, her best friend Hannah, and the evil Brittany Whittaker. Morgan isn't the best student, and has a tendency to get into messes, but she's a talented actress with an interesting role in the school's drama production - un

There are very few books about my city of Washington, DC that aren't political thrillers (a genre that I generally don't care for anyhow) but everyone likes reading about things that they know and are familiar with. So, when I come across a book about DC that isn't all political theatre, I'm very excited. Confessions of a First Daughter also marks the first young adult book that I've ever read about Washington, DC.

Confessions of a First Daughter was a cute, light read. I finished it the same day I started it, and enjoyed it all the way through. I haven’t read any books about President’s daughters before (I have seen a bunch of movies) so I really liked this one. Morgan was not the stuck up, bratty person you might think the President’s daughter would be like, no that role went to someone else. Brittney was your typical snotty, popular girl who tried to make Morgan’s life miserable, I was really glad karma

My Thoughts: Have you ever seen the movie First Daughter starring Katie Holmes? Confessions Of A First Daughter reminded me a lot of that movie. In other words, I loved it! Reading this book made me want to watch First Daughter (which I already own). We meet Morgan Abbott who is the President of the United States daughter. She is 18 and just wants to be normal, not be covered with media attention all the time. There is always attention on her to be on More...

Morgan Abbott is trying to make her way through high school, unscathed. Of course, her mother being President of the United States is making that a little bit harder. While political ambition seems to run in the family--to an extent!--with Morgan running for class president, so do the troubles that come with being President. Morgan's nemesis/opponent Brittany is painting Morgan as a 'better than you' girl who shouldn't be President because she has all the perks of being First Daughter.

Confessions of a First Daughter was one of those novels like Never Cry Werewolf. There’s no real plot to it. I mean there is a plot but nothing complex. Morgan’s running for school president but things go awry when your rival is an evil witch who steals your speech! But never fear, having your mom be the President can have its perks when you learn the trick of the trade: impromptu motivational speech while still downgrading your opponent. Bur Morgan needs to find her inner zen soon because thing

This book was really cute. It was a quick read, but I really enjoyed it. I wouldn't say the concept is that original - it borrowed heavily from many presidential and presidential offspring movies. But despite the predictability, I liked Morgan, Max, and Hannah.
I also really want to the red shoes on the cover. I wouldn't be able to walk in them, but I love them.

Dear Cassidy Calloway: we are not small children. We can handle a plot device a little more realistic than "I look just like my mom, the president, so I pretended to be her and no one suspected anything except the evil popular girl in my class". Really. I do like the name "Morgan Abbott", though.

Cheerful YA fantasy about a teenage First Daughter who impersonates Mom and holds down the Oval Office while Mom secretly negotiates a critical diplomatic agreement. It's not The West Wing, but its heart is in the right place, and I liked the characters.

I felt like I was in the book going through everything that Morgan went through. I would not want to be a president's daughter, because I would constantly be watched and followed by Secret Service.

This book was absolutely hilarious. I couldn't put it down, and I couldn't stop laughing. I would recommend this book mainly to girls, ages 11 and over, but boys could read it as well.

Starts a little cheesy, but I suppose that's to be expected--after that a fun quick read with interesting plot twists and character development (and some good clothes too!)

I love the point of view of this book, and I thought that the plot was so creative. It was sort of an easy read, but it was still really good.

Really enjoyed reading about the experiences of being the daughter of the first woman president. I laughed at times.

I like how there was plot besides the love story. The impersonating the president thing was pretty cool too.

I wasn't sure I wanted to read this, but I got pulled in. Fun, perhaps predictable, but totally film-able.

This book was ok, but it could have been much MUCH better. It was really good towards the end.

Finally, a great girl romance book appropriate for middle school. Thank you, Casssidy Calloway.

Nothing special. I found the main character, Morgan, a bit whiny and spoiled. She constantly said what a walking disaster, she was. The fact is I felt that she never one hundred percent walk into disaster unknowingly. Some of them can be avoided if she just thinks first or takes the advice of someone who had already warned her. My problem with her is that she was not thinking at all. The fact that she didn't try to improve herself and continued to blame environment and her klutziness makes me an
