Though the title suggests drama and covert political intrigue, "Dirty Sexy Politics" is far from edgy. It is, however, a real look at an outgoing woman who isn’t afraid to share her hopes, fears and insecurities with other ordinary bloggers. 

A proud and likable young woman, McCain does not shy away from describing the often-painful process of trial and error on the campaign trail—and the blogosphere.   

What do you get when you add a couple campaign anecdotes and fashion faux pas to a classic coming of age story? A sometimes silly, sometimes tearful 200-page play-by-play of the trials and tantrums of our vivacious heroine.  

The book is essentially a 200-page version of the "McCainBlogette," the blog she started on the campaign trail—without the embarrassing pictures.

The memoir resonates with readers simply because McCain’s candid, emotional rambles are girly and entertaining.  A far cry from her children’s book "My Dad, John McCain," McCain’s memoir dishes up the dirt. Sparing no one, it paints a vivid picture of her annoyance with everyone from her father’s campaign manager Steve Schmidt to the irrepressible Sarah Palin.

During each of the media appearances that year, McCain was unable to hide how much she disliked Palin. Luckily for us, the former governor of Alaska and the 25-year-old author are indeed “two very different women.”

From drunken nights at the Marriot to her awkward White House encounter with the Bush twins, McCain freely admits to having a slight rebellious streak.  

After touring Nashville with the campaign, McCain and her friends went out for a night of bar-hopping. In true honky-tonk form, McCain gulped down a shot of whiskey, marched up on stage and introduced her newest friend:John Rich of the group Big and Rich.  McCain brought him up on stage, asked him to sing “Raising McCain” and “Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy,” and the crowd went wild.

Although cynical journalists and politicos have criticized her memoir as petty campaign score settling, McCain’s hilarity and spunk more than makes up for any finger pointing. Although she can be easily dismissed as another twentysomething blonde bombshell with a big mouth and a wild sense of style – there is no ignoring McCain’s passion. Yes, a few of the chapters sound downright whiny, but what normal young woman wouldn’t whine about the ridiculous chaos created by campaign bureaucracy?

Known for her campaign blog and her columns for "The Daily Beast," McCain’s outspoken opinions and no-nonsense style has always made waves. Together with her mother, Cindy McCain, she posed for the NOH8 campaign in protest of California’s Proposition 8 to ban gay marriage, which raised several eyebrows from the anti-gay marriage GOP.

To the chagrin of conservative critics, "Dirty Sexy Politics" calls for GOP party reform. Emphasizing young voter involvement, individuality and social justice, McCain is not afraid to deal the Republican Party a swift kick in the pants. In her opinion, current GOP leaders are lacking the momentum and visionary ideals they need to reach out to young voters.  

As ditzy as she might be, McCain represents a new generation of young women who are increasingly interested in political reform—and who are not afraid to be their crazy and empowered selves. Love her or hate her, the 25-year-old is fresh, fun and friendly—three words almost never associated with anyone in the GOP. To me, that makes Meghan the real maverick.
