4/5 Stars
B&N:
Will Elise’s love life be an epic win or an epic fail?
At Coral Tree Prep in Los Angeles, who your parents are can make or break you. Case in point:
As the son of Hollywood royalty, Derek Edwards is pretty much prince of the school—not that he deigns to acknowledge many of his loyal subjects.
As the daughter of the new principal, Elise Benton isn’t exactly on everyone’s must-sit-next-to-at-lunch list.
When Elise’s beautiful sister catches the eye of the prince’s best friend, Elise gets to spend a lot of time with Derek, making her the envy of every girl on campus. Except she refuses to fall for any of his rare smiles and instead warms up to his enemy, the surprisingly charming social outcast Webster Grant. But in this hilarious tale of fitting in and flirting, not all snubs are undeserved, not all celebrity brats are bratty, and pride and prejudice can get in the way of true love for only so long.
My Review:
I really enjoyed this book. It was a cute light read for teens. It was refreshing seeing an author that didn't need to center the story around sex or drugs. Truth-be-told, I didn't make the connection to P&P until I was 3/4 of the way done the book.
The characters were great. You had all different personality traits, and I think teens could relate to the doubts and such the teens in this book were feeling.
I'll keep my eye out for this author's other books.
