A few years after Meg Cabot gave us Mia Thermopolis, she introduced us to Samantha Madison, an angsty, artistic Washingtonian with one of the most distinct voices I‘ve ever read. On Episode 84 of my pod, my guest + I talk about her story — All-American Girl! We touch on Gwen Stefani, birth order, immigration, the fine line between being angsty and being annoying, our mixed feelings about the book‘s love interests, and more! Link to listen in bio!
