Brat Princess to Zodiac Labourer

I didn't know what I was in for when I picked up this book. I immediately realized that the hero, Leonora was a complete brat. But it seemed really weird when it got into the Zodiac things. And how exactly did the Zodiac phone keep working for even seconds when it was smashed? But anyway, weirdness aside, I definitely felt a bit of pity for Leonora and the other boot camp inmates. I mean, no pillows, no hot water, no heating in winter, no nothing? Plus lessons, tramps, early mornings, yuck food? I wouldn't last a day in there! Plus if I tried to stay happy by singing (any music cheers me up, even if it's tone deaf) I would be sorry for it. Anyway, this book hooked me on the series, and I am now looking for the other books after reading "From Geek To Goddess", "Recipe For Rebellion" and "Discount Diva" which were all good, but not as good as this. JUST GO AND READ IT, PLEASE!

Leonora has always gotten her way. What with her rude demeanor, screaming antics, and mean comments, it's hard for anyone, especially her parents, to say no to her or cross her. She enjoys making others wait on her hand and foot, having the most expensive outfits and going on the most amazing trips with her best friend, Tigsy, and her pink dog (that's right, it's pink), Coco. Then three things happen to Leonora that will change her life forever: 1. She isn't able to fit into her favorite pair of jeans anymore; turns out that eating fries and chocolate all the time isn't beneficial. 2. Her so called trip to Paris with Tigsy detours into a trip to a boot camp. Turns out Leonora's parents aren't too happy with the way their daughter acts, and they hope she can shape up in more ways than one. 3. She discovers that she has been chosen to be a Zodiac Girl, meaning she can have the help of the stars for one month. If only she knew how valuable this is. All of this sounds crazy to Leonora, but her normal ways aren't able to get her out of this situation. Leonora must learn to be independent, a lot nicer, and how to use the stars to her advantage, of course in a good way. The author of the MATES, DATES and TRUTH OR DARE series' brings us another cute and enjoyable series in ZODIAC GIRLS. Aside from her bratty and rude ways, Leonora will be one character that readers will soon find a liking for. A quick read that will please fans of Cathy Hopkins.
