Recommended for: fairytale re-telling geeks :)
Read in July, 2010

I thought I wouldn’t like this book, just because I hated the cover. I picked it up off the shelf because I absolutely love fairytale re-tellings. And…this book really ended up being enjoyable, far beyond my expectations.

It is such a humorous story right away when it starts, mostly poking fun at extreme girlie, popular girls (unless it wasn’t, and I was just taking it that way). And I, as a huge nerd/geek lover, immediately loved Josh, the “frog,” who saves from a fountain the expensive handbag belonging to popular “princess,” Dylan. As the story goes on, you watch as the super girlie L.A. girl goes from being practically allergic to non-popular kids, to having fun with Josh, a film geek of all things. The ending was pretty good, though I really think that some certain people should’ve ended up together, and they didn’t.

So, though I was slightly disappointed with the ending, it was fabulous in all of the other respects besides relationship dealings. Definitely a cool book, though I’d thought it wouldn’t be! And…it yet again reminded me of the saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.”
