Being the daughter of the former president of the United States isn't easy - and not nearly as much fun as it might seem. No one knows this better than the perfect Lucy Jorik. A dutiful, responsible daughter (so unlike her best friend, Meg Koranda!), Lucy has always done the right thing: attending the right school, earning the right grades, landing the right guy. But on her wedding day to Ted Beaudine - a.k.a. Mr. Irresistible, the pride of Wynette, Texas-Lucy did the impossible. She took off, leaving the would-be groom at the altar. While she's thrilled that Ted and Meg have found true love with each other, Lucy is more than ready for an adventure of her own. Still, when a menacing-looking stranger on a motorcycle offers her a ride, should she really say yes? In this dazzling follow up to "Call Me Irresistible", Susan Elizabeth Phillips tells Lucy's story - a rollicking road trip full of hilarious mishaps, unexpected fun, and sizzling romance in which a young woman breaks free of her proper life to discover what she really wants-and dares to find it!

Not So "Great!"
Until I got into the story, I didn?t realize that this story is a continuation of THE FIRST LADY. And that story is a continuation of a series called ?AMERICAN?S LADIES.? Perhaps I missed some connections because of not reading these in order.
The story line seemed to be rather ho-hum. The escape scene, where Lucy leaves the wedding -- took way too long. Until Lucy meets Panda (?) things move slower than syrup on a cold day. Much of this book takes place within a character?s head; while this approach can be very interesting, in this instance, the repetitions grew tiresome.
Learning that Lucy was an adopted daughter of a previous president was interesting; hearing the same info frequently was not. At times, the book seemed to move in slow-motion.
The premise of the story is: Lucy decides that she cannot marry her intended during the wedding march. She knew there was a problem prior to the wedding, yet she waited till the most dramatic moment to humiliate her fiancée. How immature!
The thing that bothered me the most, however, was the fact that a 31 year-old woman reverted to dreadlocks, punk colors and street walker clothes. Did she learn nothing as First Daughter in the White House? This was certainly a strange time to ?go find herself.?
Phillips? writing style was interesting and captivating. In spite of a squirrelly plot, I kept listening to the book. For that reason, I gave the book a ?3.?
