Get Hold Of Will The Real Prince Charming Please Stand Up? Composed By Ella Martin Available As Readable Copy
is the only world to describe this, Didn't even get toof story, I received Will the Real Prince Charming Please Stand Up from the author in exchange for an honest review,
It usually takes me days to read a book even books I love because I dont just sit down and read, I sit down and read and then remember that I have laundry to put in the dryer or that I want to check my garden before it gets dark or that I was going to play Cookie Jam or that I havent eaten lunch.
I read pretty fast especially on my Kindle when Im reading, but I lack the concentration to just Sit, And. Read. Im too easily distracted. Thats one reason I always have more than one book going at a time, Current total Eight. sitelinkNot even kidding.
But I had told Ella Martin that I would post my review today so I sat down around noon yesterday to read, I was a little worried about the time crunch, and I considered emailing her and telling her that I wouldnt be posting until Tuesday or Thursday, I thought about giving myself a little wiggle room, And I did check my garden and put the laundry in the dryer and play Cookie Jam before I finished it, Im never going to be that person who finishes a book in one sitting, but I didnt make excuses to stay away from the book either, I wanted to get back to it and find out what was going on in Biancas life and how she was dealing with everything, I finished Will the Real Prince Charming Please Stand Up in what seemed like no time at all,
What girl wouldnt want the most popular guy in the sophomore class to notice her Of course Bianca is flattered when Dante starts hanging around, but when he starts making demands on her time and telling her that she needs to be spending time with him, not her friends, she stands up for herself right away.
I love that she tells him straight out that its not fair for her to ditch her friends just because he wants to see her, Smart girl! She makes mistakes and gives him too many chances, but shes only fifteen and this isnt a situation shes ever had to deal with personally before.
Biancas a great character: fun, independent, and stronger than she knows, She feels like a real girl, not just a fictional character, She has a good relationship with her family and a whole group of friends, and never once does she let her life revolve around Dante, She has interests drama club and traditions Halloween with her friends, movie marathons on school dance nights and shes not about to drop them for a boy.
Even her friends are welldeveloped characters with their own interests: Ally runs a gossip blog, Finn is an academic star, Jakes in a band, and Talias a bit of a rebel in their straightlaced prep school.
All of these characters, plus Biancas older brother Brady and his best friend Tim and they have outside interests too!, make up an excellent support system for Bianca.
I especially love the relationship Bianca has with Brady, Hes brotherly, but he doesnt go overboard in trying to protect her and end up controlling her just as much as Dante wants to, And Tim, who is very sweet, is like a second brother to her, but there is that longstanding crush Bianca has had on himI dont really do the “book boyfriend” thing because Im an adult and that would be creepy, but if I did, Tim would definitely be a contender.
Will the Real Prince Charming Please Stand Up is the first book in the Westgate Prep series, I suspect that the whole cast of characters is so wellrounded because theyre all running around living their lives in author Ella Martins head just as much as Bianca did.
I cant wait to read the next book! I hope its about Ally,
Will The Real Prince Charming Please Stand Up will be released on July, This is a cute teen romance that stresses the point that we should be able to be ourselves around people who love us and around those whom we love.
Aptly titled, this novel shows what lurks beneath the surface of the teenage fairy tale,
A social experiment propels sophomore Bianca into the limelight at her prep school, As a member of the homecoming court, she attracts attention from Dante, a previously unattainable guy, The inexperienced Bianca soon finds herself sucked into a dark relationship that isolates her from friends and threatens her safety,
Not only is this book a fun read, it addresses critical social issues without a heavyhanded tone, The characters were developed, the relationships and high school roller coaster were believable, and the pacing was impeccable, In short, it was wellwritten, I can't wait to read the next book in the Westgate Prep Series!
Spoiler Alert
Count on an ending that will leave you smiling.
I may have clapped a little,: Such a sweet, clean read, Not what I usually go for in a book I like edgier YA contemporary but I really loved this one! There is just something that draws me to these brothers best friend novels, I love the kind of taboo, Im not supposed to like you, scenario, and usually its mixed with having known said best friend for many years.
They are always pretty sweet, The cover of Will the Real Prince Charming Please Stand Up is also eye catching so its no wonder I decided it was a good use of an Audible credit.
What I Loved: Honestly, I really loved the relationship between Bianca, and her brother, They were the perfect mix of that annoying relationship most siblings have, and family who love and support one another, Even though there were hints of it, there wasnt really a lot of “Im big brother, stay away from sister” kind of thing going on, until it became apparently necessary.
Biancas friends were pretty awesome too, they were a great group of friends who knew each other inside and out, the kind of friends I dreamed of having when I was in High School myself.
Bianca was actually a solid character, with the normal flaws you would find with a typicalyear old High Schooler, She had her own mind, and knew what things in her life were important, As she was dating Dante, she would often say things like, “you expect me to choose you over my friends of xx years” Though she was trapped in the idea of having her first boyfriend, someone whom girls fell over themselves to date she did have some reasoning skills.
I do think that this book did a good job of showing how just a few words or actions can open you up to manipulation, and worse, how easily girls can be manipulated.
Especially when it comes to things like self esteem, just a few words can cause many girls to doubt themselves, I think this is real, and the book does serve as a good warning against that,
Not So Much: I really didnt care for the narrator of this story, Bianca and her friends were typical high schoolers, and used slang that is popular now, however while I was listening to the book, they Bianca especially came off as extremely whiney.
As I think back on the book, Im really not sure that this was the authors intentionand as a mother, I CAN, NOT. STAND the whining voice! It took me an extra long time to listen to this book, and I nearly gave up on it because of the narration.
That would have been unfortunate, because I did love how this story wrapped up,
The Verdict: I do not recommend the Audiobook of Will the Real Prince Charming Please Stand Up, however I do recommend reading it, This is very age appropriate, and can actually help empower girls who might find themselves stuck in a manipulative relationship see things from a different perspective, Maybe. The book is clean. Find this review and more at sitelinkkimberlyfaye reads,
Will the Real Prince Charming Please Stand Up was a cute and fun young adult read, I breezed through it in a couple short hours and enjoyed it, I can't say it's a story or characters that will stick with me for a long time, but I did enjoy it while I was in the moment.
The main character, Bianca was likable and real, She was a little on the naive side, but she was young so that's not entirely unexpected, After becoming the It Girl of her sophomore class, she's suddenly dealing with pressure and some unexpected attention from one of the most popular guys in school.
Dante wasn't the nice guy he seemed to be at first, however, He was controlling and somewhat abusive, He's not a very nice guy and Bianca has a hard time dealing with him, but then doesn't tell her brother or friends what's going on either, even once they've voiced their distrust of him.
I think the author did a good job handling the Dante storyline in a way younger adults can relate to and learn from,
One of my favorite things about this book was the Bianca's group of friends, I loved the dynamic between them and the characters were all standout in their own ways, I particularly liked Bianca's brother Brady and his best friend, Tim, They were popular athletes, but they didn't play into the stereotypes and I appreciated that,
Overall this was a fun, light read, I would consider it on the younger side of YA, which may be why I didn't necessarily connect fully with it, But, the characters were real and believable, the story hit on a hard subject without being too overlydramatic or angsty and there was a good message in the end.
I would definitely recommend this one to an upper middle grade, younger YA audience,
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review, a cute read. it was really just okay though, hence two, I promise all teenage girls are not that dense, though the author makes it seem as though they are, Right fairy tale. Wrong guy.
Happily Ever After only happens with the right guy, It's a tiny but important detail most fairy tales choose to leave out, But what happens when the princess rides off into the sunset with Prince Charming, only to discover he's not so charming, after all
Bianca Sullivan thinks she's a pretty average girl.
Sure, her brother may be the superstud captain of the football team, but that's her only claim to fame until her friends' social experiment turns her into the new It girl of the Sophomore class, and she captures the attention of the most popular guy in her grade.
Ecstatic to introduce the world to her first boyfriend, she's trying to enjoy being wooed by the ultimate heartthrob, But no one's ever told her what to do when her friends hate her boyfriend and Prince Charming starts acting like a controlfreaky misogynist, And as if deciding whether to trust Prince Charming, her friends, or her own instincts wasn't hard enough, being around her brother's best friend is making her head all fuzzy, too.
Oh, if only love was as simple as fairy tales make it out to be, After seeing the cover and title, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this one, Although the story wasn't exactly what I was thinking it might be I was expecting something more elegant and princess, it was still sweet and an enjoyable read.
Bianca hits her Sophomore year, and thanks to her friend's experiment on social behavior, ends up as Homecoming Princess, But there's an odd sideeffect to the hoped for and calculated rise in popularity, Suddenly, the cutest guy is interested in Bianca and her first experience with boyfriends begins,
Bianca is a sweet character, who is a little naïve and gets caught in over her head, Her reactions and decisions aren't always well thought through which makes her more realistic, She has wonderful friends with very different personalities and opinions, And although they all mean her well, it was fun to watch them make incorrect decisions of their own,
The plot has several unexpected twists and turns, and runs through at a nice pace making it no
problem to read in one sitting, A few things weren't too hard to guess, which made some of Bianca's decisions and blindness frustrating at times, Several harder topics were addressed and well handled, a nice way to deliver some messages without feeling preachy,
All in all, this is a nice, sweet, easy read, perfect for high school romance fans, I'm looking forward to reading bookin the series, .
