This afternoon I was looking for a light and easy read to sit outside on my swing with and enjoy the beautiful day. And I also have a stack of books that I checked out over the summer staring at me, waiting to be read. So I picked up today's read for both of those reasons.
Dylan is the "it-girl" at her private high school. Josh is a film geek who happens to be in the right place at the wrong time.....Dylan has accidentally tossed her very expensive designer handbag into the fountain at the shopping mall her dad owns, and she convinces Josh to go in after it for her, in return for being in his documentary for film school. Dylan attempts to renege on this deal, but her dad makes her follow through on it. Josh, of the F-list in Dylan's mind, will get to follow her around and film her for one month, in her A-list world.
At first Josh considers scrapping the whole project because Dylan is driving him insane with her demands, but eventually, he realizes that she is human and decides he wants to show her whole story in the documentary instead of just the life of the populars, as he originally intended. When Dylan's emotionally distant boyfriend of almost two years dumps her right before the Fall Fling--the social event of the semester--and her popularity tanks, it is up to Josh to try to save the day.
Will Dylan kiss the frog to get the prince or will she discover that a prince is not always necessary?
This was a cute story and it reminded me of the movies Can't Buy Me Love and Clueless. Parts of it were predictable, but it fit the bill for what I was looking for today and I would read Palmer's other books based on fairy tales: Wicked Jealous: A Love Story, Cindy Ella, and Little Miss Red.
Happy Reading!!
