Customer Reviews

Couldn't put it down!

Laugh-out-loud funny! Right on target, a great read for anyone struggling through unexpected circumstances. Definitely will recommend this to all my girlfriends, guy friends and young girls worried about finding a place in this world. I can't wait to read Julie's other book, "Crowned".

LOL!

OMG, I've never been much of a reader, but this book totally makes me reconsider my "non-reader" stance! I found myself laughing outloud all the way through it, wondering what southern mishap was bound to happen next. This is a great book, and an easy read, and a breath of fresh country air. Bring on the next one!

I love West, the Disenchanted Princess!

Julie Linker has written a delightfully funny and entertaining book. She managed to do the impossible with the main character--she took a hilariously snobby and spoiled rich girl and made her abolutely loveable and someone to cheer for. I laughed out loud at the fish-out-of-water scene with Bhuddist West at a southern revival! I can't wait for Ms. Linker's next book!

Very Well-Written

I read this book to see if Julie Linker was a good author. Well, yes she is--not only well-written but also stays very much in character. Not being a teenager herself, she certainly sounded like one. I think any young reader would enjoy this book and I personally would like to see Julie Linker write a good adult mystery.

Adorable!

Julie Linker has taken the classic fish out of water story and truly made it her own. The only thing you will regret about buying this book is that eventually it will end! The main character, West Deschanel, is stuck in Possum Grape, AR when she is supposed to be in LA planning the party of the century. Even after living through six-year-olds with relentless ADD, chiggers, and her aunt's church trying to save her soul, West learns that maybe being dubbed a Possum Queen isn't the worst thing that could happen to her!
