Being a princess isn't all that.... You've heard the fairytale: a glass slipper, Prince Charming, happily ever after... Welcome to reality: royal genealogy lessons, needlepoint, acting like "a proper lady," and -- worst of all -- a prince who is not the least bit interesting, and certainly not charming. As soon-to-be princess Ella deals with her newfound status, she comes to realize she is not "your majesty" material. But breaking off a royal engagement is no easy feat, especially when you're crushing on another boy in the palace.... For Ella to escape, it will take intelligence, determination, and spunk -- and no ladylike behavior allowed.

I first read this book in elementary school and I'd forgotten how much I loved it. Despite not being a big fan of Cinderella, I really enjoyed this re-telling in which Ella agrees to marry the prince to escape her step-mother, but then discovers he's not as charming as his name implies. I also didn't remember all of the subtle politics that Haddix slips into the story, but I appreciate those details reading it as an adult.

#BookReport - Not a bad week of reading, but also not fantastic. I didn't care for Rosaline Palmer, which was sad because it's an #LMPBC read. Absolutely loved Sam in the Suburbs. Holdfast ironically did not hold my attention so I think it's going in the giveaway box after taking up shelf room since 1997 😂 The tagged book was okay - a Cinderella “sequel“, but it was meh enough that I decided to pass on the other two books in the trilogy. ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) Currently reading Homeport, which I'm thoroughly enjoying, but not moving super fast because (1) work was busy yesterday, (2) I've been spending my evenings playing Red Dead Redemption II (again), & (3) I'm a weird nerd who has also been spending spare time playing with a book tracking spreadsheet for next year 😂 We'll see how much progress I can make this weekend!! @Cinfhen 2y

What I loved about this book is that girls can learn that you don't need a prince to feel empowered and independence. Instead of Ella relying on the prince she found her independence and what love is to her, unlike the Disney version there are many twist and turns and not just one exciting event in this book.

This book surprised me! I couldn‘t look away,,, like a train wreck my eyes were fixed on the fairytale turned almost horror story. Four stars due to the twist and the fact it ended nicely.

I needed a quick and easy book after my last read so I started reading this one. I tend to like fairytale retelling type books so hopefully this is a cute one.

What happens if Prince Charming chose you but you never really wanted to be a princess?? Reading this on this rainy Friday evening while waiting to meet my cousins for dinner. (Confession:: I‘d rather stay home and read all night)

I don't remember much about this book but I really liked it when I read 15 years ago 😬.
