Super cheesy but a lot of fun to read

I adore this book. It's smart, insightful and whimsical. I really like all the characters though I didn't like Tristan sometimes when he didn't take Savannah seriously. But mostly I loved pretty much everyone.

And I love [a:Jeanette Rallison|184987|Janette Rallison|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1408003574p2/184987.jpg]'s plotting. The story moves quickly and has great action and cascades back on itself brilliantly.

I also really enjoyed Rallison's writing style. She has these beautiful metaphors and turns of phrases nestled into a very contemporary book. It was enchanting. And a very fun book to read.

First off, I had no idea that this book was actually about different fairy tales, like Snow White and Cinderella. I loved the twists that the author gave these fairy tales. This book was everything I loved rolled up in one. The middle ages with castles and magic and forests. So needless to say, I loved this book.

This was my first ebook that I've read. So I was a little confused in the beginning since I couldn't see the actual layout of the book. But that didn't matter once I really got into the story.

In the very beginning we see how Savannah got to where she's at now. Her sister, Jane, has a crush on a guy in her class, Hunter. Then come to find out Savannah is dating him. Jane gets all upset, but gets over it once Hunter starts talking to her. Then Jane and Hunter start having feelings for one another and before you know it Hunter is dumping Savannah to be with Jane. Pretty sucky situation to be in.

So after all that horribleness, Savannah is obviously upset, so when Chrissy shows up to grant her three wishes, Savannah wishes for a prince to come and sweep her off her feet. So she ends up in the middle ages as Cinderella, then Snow White, and then Chrissy takes Tristan, a boy from Savannah's track team, and sends him to the middle ages to become Savannah's prince.

This book is one big adventure with some magic thrown in. I loved it. And I loved Tristan and how he took to the role of trying to become a prince. I loved how Rallison took the Cinderella and Snow White tales and showed a different way to look at them.

I absolutely loved this book and would recommend this to anyone one who loves fairy tales with a twist.

I thought this was a cute story, but I just could never really sympathize with the main character. I guess I am more like the sister in the story; she I could relate to. I loved the whole premise of the novel, but not liking Savannah took some of my enjoyment out of reading the novel.
