A review by iddylu
Extreme American Makeover by Mitali Perkins

3.0

I picked up this book (and its sequel; I read them out of order) because I like reading about families of state leaders and high-level politicians, be they real or fictional. I didn't really expect much from it, but I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of depth it had. The culture clashes between Pakistani-American Sameera and the all-American "Sammy" her PR team wants her to be are well-done, as are the parallel generational clashes between the less conservative Republicans (Sameera and her parents) and their more conservative counterparts (her grandparents).
