I'm sure you all know each and everyone of these princess' stories but Laura buts an exciting twist on their happily ever after, which I loved.When the fairy tales ended we were all left to believe that each princess went off with their respective prince and the rest of their lives where bliss. Laura picks up her stories when they are all grown up. I liked that they were all dealing with everyday problems. Problem's that you, me or our friend's might face. It makes this story so easy to relate to.
Since I was a little girl I've always wanted to be Belle, so to see her life ripped apart upset me a little. I hated the way she had become this meek little woman who couldn't stand up for herself.
Cindy's having a mid-life crisis and thinks that she hasn't achieved anything. She is only looking at the things she hasn't achieved as opposed to the things she has.
Rapunzel is a feisty independent woman who deep down just wants to be loved. I enjoyed seeing Rapunzel's and Belle's friendship grow, they make quite the team.
Penny made me laugh, I really liked her character and hope to see more of her in future books.
It would have been nice to have had more scenes with Snow White and Dawn but maybe this wasn't the right time for there story.
This book is extremely funny. I was literally laughing out loud in some places.
The one thing I took away from this book is that what you think will be your happily ever after can change. While it may not be the ending you expect or hoped for but that doesn't mean it won't be happy.
I am extremely glad there will be a sequel and I cannot wait to get my hands on it. I would love a book focusing on each of the princess.
The sequel, Damsels in Distress, is due out in August. It will continue Belle's story, give Sleeping Beauty her time in the spotlight, and reveal a little more about Snow.
