I love your comparison to reality t.v, it sounds like such a fun guilty pleasure read but at the same time I'm not sure I could get over the annoyances to actually like the book. I'd definitely pick this book up when I'm in the mood for something light.Isahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861590088642264591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294396274737254126.post-31668787135492856352012-09-25T01:08:12.301+02:002012-09-25T01:08:12.301+02:00Sometimes, I actually like to read those bad writt...Sometimes, I actually like to read those bad written books filled with stupid characters, just because they are so easy and fluffy. It takes away all the busy things I've on my mind :p Great review and I might give it a shot, if I don't think about the bad author/publisher behavior.Mel@Thedailyprophecyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01516514938771433319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294396274737254126.post-6227643972166425872012-09-23T16:11:53.395+02:002012-09-23T16:11:53.395+02:00I wanted to read it but just because of the drama....I wanted to read it but just because of the drama...

But it sounds like such a fun story, and I agree that it's okay to read books like that occasionally. I think I'm still going to read it, but after these lukewarm reviews and all this drama, I'm not as excited as I originally was. <br />If you don't want to support all the craziness, maybe you could get the next books from the library. That's what I'm doing-that way I'm not directly paying the author and her agent.

There are a lot of books that defy all logic but are good anyway. I skipped this one because it doesn't sound like it's for me but I'm glad you had so much fun reading it and just took it as it was.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958940283330319507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294396274737254126.post-28361973819244231392012-09-22T16:54:58.226+02:002012-09-22T16:54:58.226+02:00Love your review, because it makes me think I migh...Love your review, because it makes me think I might pick this one up in the library sometime just for kicks. I'm not sure if I'd be able to turn the critical part of my brain off, but yay! Princesses! How can you not love a princess story just a little bit?<br /><br />Oof, though.

It was fluffy and cheesy and predictable, but oh so fun! Great review!Deborah Julenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16430027399250373507noreply@blogger.com
