<p>lol strangest book ever… It’s often confusing and the only thing I really remember from the book was the fact that John Quincy Adams used to skinny dip in the morning, despite the fact that I got a 4 on APUSH. Haha, and all the awkwardly used adjectives…</p>
<p>Oh my gosh…American P!!! Bahaha this book was kind of a joke? I found a site that summarized the chapters for the quizzes, so after the first chapter, I never opened that book again. I got a 4 on the APUSH exam and a 710 on the SAT Subject test.</p>
