| All-American Girl (Meg Cabot) | comment |
A 2002 Young Adult novel by Meg Cabot and its 2005 sequel, Ready or Not.Samantha Madison is just your average disenfranchised sophomore gal living in D.C. when, in an idle moment sandwiched between cookie-buying and CD-perusing, she puts a stop to an attempt on the life of the president. Before she can say "MTV2" she’s appointed Teen Ambassador to the U.N. and has caught the eye of the very cute First Son, David.The sequel has no relation to the Ready or Not (2019) film, the Canadian TV series from the 90s, the video game about a SWAT Team, or the American Girls Collection. | |

No Celebrities Were Harmed | |
| All-American Girl (Meg Cabot) / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: The President is heavily modeled on George W. Bush, who was the real life president when the books were written. The audio book even gives him a Texas drawl. However, she never gives the president a last name or a party (though it's hinted in Ready or Not that he is a conservative) | |

Rescue Romance: A variant; while David finds Sam amusing with her proclaiming to have art standards in class, he seems to show romantic interest in her when she saves his dad. Even if he doesn't agree with his dad on political stances, the kid loves him. | |

Give Geeks a Chance | |
| All-American Girl (Meg Cabot) / int_18805e9c | comment |
Give Geeks a Chance: Downplayed at the end of the first book. Lucy, her fellow cheerleaders, and Kris all start dating smarter and geekier boys due to how Samantha dating the studious and artistic David has made it seem cooler. However, as Kris shows in the sequel, this doesn't automatically make all of the girls shed any previous bad attitudes. Lucy also breaks up with her now boyfriend pretty quickly, although she later goes on to date the equally studious Harold in the sequel (where the trope is actually inverted because she develops a crush on him first). | |

Yet she turns out to have a strong sense of self, doesn't suffer bullshit from her boyfriend (esp. in defense of her sister), able to appreciate guys for more than their looks, and successfully calls out Kris Parks for her hypocrisy. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| All-American Girl (Meg Cabot) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Sam points out that in the movies when a hero stops a gunman, they usually remain standing. Due to her tackling the would-be assassin from behind, however, he fell over and landed on her. This led to the guy accidentally breaking her arm, and she was crying in pain when the Secret Service was asking her questions since they were astounded a fifteen-year old saved the president. Secret Service does realize she wasn't an accomplice and rapidly get her to the hospital for treatment. Ready Or Not has Kris Parks attempting to slut-shame Sam for saying aloud she's said yes to sex. Lucy then confronts Kris and tells her off for bullying her sister, proclaiming herself a slut as well. This leads to everyone saying they're sluts, which the principal hears and comes to investigate. Lucy explains what happened, and Harold pipes in saying that it's against the school rules to make such comments. Kris gets suspended from her class president position as a result. | |

Sweet and Sour Grapes: It turns out in Ready Or Not that David was being Literal-Minded about saying he wanted to play Parcheesi with Sam over Thanksgiving and that he wasn't talking about wanting to sleep with her at Camp David while his parents were sleeping. This means she doesn't have to decide on having sex with him, after worrying about what going to fourth base would mean. Sam, however, realizes that she wants to sleep with him, and shows him the birth control that Lucy got them, exciting him. She and David have Their First Time, and Sam later tells Lucy with some giggling that she jumped his bones. | |

Heroic Bystander | |
| All-American Girl (Meg Cabot) / int_9a2aee13 | comment |
Heroic Bystander: Sam is surprised at herself when she sees a man draw a gun to shoot the president and her first response without thinking is to tackle him and scream to everyone he's armed. She later says that what she did wasn't great because she was only risking her life. | |

First World Problems | |
| All-American Girl (Meg Cabot) / int_a7129d3b | comment |
First World Problems: Sam complains that Lucy ratted on her using her German notebook to sell drawings of celebrities... because her parents sign her up for art class to perfect her skills, and Lucy herself points out that it means their parents support her talent. Even David, who is wealthier than she is, doesn't understand Sam's perspective, quipping that she must be a sensitive artist. Sam does get a Jerkass Realization, however, when she starts taking the lessons seriously and that there is a lot she can learn. | |

Smarter Than You Look | |
| All-American Girl (Meg Cabot) / int_b4fb830c | comment |
Smarter Than You Look: Sam thinks that Lucy is The Ditz but can coast on life with her good looks and cheerleader hobby. It turns out that Lucy is no fool; she gives Sam a version of The Talk about what type of birth control to use in Ready Or Not, protects Sam from her video-store boss wanting to rifle through her bag, and puts Kris Parks in her place when the latter tries slut-shaming her sister. | |

| All-American Girl (Meg Cabot) / int_bd9f9111 | comment |
Strawman Has a Point: Invoked in a conversation between David and Sam in an argument about Lucy's boyfriend (and Sam's crush) Jack, who destroyed a lab where products are tested on animals, David points out that it's better than those products being tested on humans and that those tests also involve curing terrible diseases like cancer. | |

Slut-Shaming | |
| All-American Girl (Meg Cabot) / int_c972d624 | comment |
Slut-Shaming: In Ready or Not, Sam says on national television that she's had sex (she hasn't yet) and then the purity group at school try this. It ends up with the entire school proclaiming themselves to be sluts and Lucy blackmailing the purity club leader Kris Parks over an indiscretion she witnessed. Not to mention that slut shaming gets Kris into trouble when the principal overhears, since it's against school rules to make "pejorative comments about others' sexual habits". | |

Dating What Daddy Hates | |
| All-American Girl (Meg Cabot) / int_de89c0a1 | comment |
Dating What Daddy Hates: The President doesn't actually like Sam, though he does appreciate that she saved his life, because he sees her as either a tool to be used or an uncontrollable renegade. Sam realizes that he made her a teen ambassador as a token thanks, and doesn't want her dating his son despite the good press. Doesn't stop her and David from dating, however. | |

Cool Big Sis: Lucy, though it takes Sam a while to realize this. Shown most definitely in Ready or Not when Sam confesses that David has hinted about wanting to go to fourth base. After taking a while to realize it, Lucy starts informing Sam about various types of birth control (a bit of TMI for Sam) and buys the products so that paparazzi won't realize. | |
