Illustrated Girl by Josephine Angelini

Illustrated Girl (Chronicles of Lucitopia, #1)

by Josephine Angelini


From bestselling author Josephine Angelini comes a whimsical fantasy read with loads of adventure and none of the triggers. Perfect for fans of Olivia Atwater and Travis Baldree.

Ever wish you could travel inside your favorite book and become the main character? Of course you have. Everyone has. But if you ever manage to pull it off, here’s a tip. Timing is everything…

Take Holly for example, who after saying a spell is transported inside a fairytale called The Chronicles of Lucitopia, a magical world infested with grifter grandmas, halitosis-riddled bandits, and devoid of any functioning toilets.

Holly becomes Princess Pleasant exactly as she wished, but she gets there too late, right after an evil sorcerer turns Lucitopia into a tetanus-ridden hellhole. And now, it’s up to Holly to make things right.

With the help of a freakishly handsome, yet frustratingly virtuous knight, Holly sets out to fix her story, but she only has fifteen days left to do so or she risks being stuck in Lucitopia for the rest of her life, which may prove to be a short one considering she’s overdue for her shots.

I didn't give this book much of a chance but I wasn't enjoying the world and I didn't have really any reason to be interested in the main character. I mean I maybe could have given it more time because the other books by Angelini I liked took a while to become interesting. But I really just wasn't into this world.
