[Lindsay Deal · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm just a sucker for this story, this movie, and Dmitri, who is somehow a cartoon hottie.

This is a collector's item as well as a oddly solid read still. Glad to see this movie making a comeback.

[Dippit! with E.S.Jennette · Rating 5 out of 5]

I think that this book is worth the read.

It is about a lost princess who gets convinced by a con man that she should pretend to be the princess so they can get some money but it turns out that Anya is Anastasia and Dimitrie isn't a con man after all.

Anya and Dimitrie fall in love due to spending the adventure of a life time together.

I got this book because I love the movie. This book just wasn’t as good. Some of my favorite lines are gone. It’s good for what it is but I’d rather watch the movie.
