This past week I read Princess for Hire by Lindsey Leavitt.
Here is Goodreads jacket flap version of what it's all about.
When a well-dressed woman steps out of a bubble and wants to know if you'd like to become a substitute princess, do you
A) run
B) faint
C) say yes?
For Desi Bascomb, who's been longing for some glamour in her Idaho life, the choice is a definite C). Desi has a rare ability: with the help of "Royal Rouge," she can temporarily transform into the exact look-alike of any princess who needs her subbing services. Dream come true, right?
Well, Desi soon discovers that subbing involves a lot more than wearing a tiara and waving at cameras.... In this winning debut, one girl's dream of glamour transforms into the desire to make a positive impact. And an impact Desi makes, one royal fiasco at a time.
Here is my basic review.
I give it a out of 5 stars and a G movie rating. I absolutely LOVE that it is a clean book. The reason for the three stars is mostly for the fact that it felt like a MG/YA crossover and I'm pretty much a YA lover. It was a cute read and since I do have a soft spot for princess stories, I really did like it.
Have any of you read it? What did you think?
I haven't read that one, but it sounds like something I'd like. I do like princess stories and I like both MG and YA. I'll have to put that on my long list of to-reads.
ReplyDeleteI think I actually may have started it but didn't get past the beginning...I can't remember though.
