More than meets the eye This is gonna be a slightly different review than what I normally write. So here goes.... I almost gave up on this book. If I'm being honest here, it started off really slow and boring. I thought it was going to end up being a rant about the wrongness of men and love. I worried it was too cynical and that it was trying to steer me away from love. Yet, that is completely the opposite of what this book is talking about. It's not about avoiding love, but rather the wrong ki
So many people had recommended this one to me, so I was super excited to start it. I had a really hard time getting into the flow of this book. I hated all the italic sections from the various women in Barry's life. It would just be getting interesting and BAM, here comes this random writing from some random woman. Blek. I also had a hard time just getting into this story period. But, when Frances Lee came into the picture and the road trip began- I was hooked. I adored the latter half of the bo...
First things first, I made a horrible, horrible mistake. I have had this book on my shelf since it first came out in April last year. I read around the first 50 pages and just lost interest and stopped reading it. I don’t know what made me want to read it again but I did and I am so grateful. I will admit this book does have a slow beginning –hence the loosing interest when I first read it—but it really was an amazing read. This was the first Deb Caletti book I have ever read and I am so excited...
This book was published for YAs, but I don't think middle schoolers will have the patience - or interest to stick with it, and often as I read it, I wondered if Deb Caletti was feeling equivocal about whether she intended her audience to be teens or middle aged women. Quinn and her younger sister Sprout (Charlotte) join up with a half-sister they hardly know on a quest to return sentimentally valuable items their father has stolen from former girlfriends and wives to their rightful owners. Along...
There's no doubt that Deb Caletti's writing is gorgeous, and her first and third novels, The Queen of Everything and Wild Roses, were outstanding young adult novels. But I don't think Caletti is writing young adult novels any longer. Honey, Baby, Sweetheart was the first indication I had that she was writing books that were supposedly for teens but really explored themes they simply don't care about. And now her plots are simply too slow moving and her romances are horribly flat, as if she's had...
I read this for a Battle of the Books. It was OK. The title and cover are very deceiving. It seems like a romance novel,but it is NOT. I feel like the publisher really should change the title and cover to better reflect what the story is about. It's about two sisters, along with their half sister, who decide to return objects their dad stole from women he's been with. Their dad is a real jerk, and the main character, Quinn, has a hard time coming to terms with who her father really is, but she g...
The book is called The Secret life of Prince Charming, it’s written by Deb Caletti. This book is fiction, if you like a tiny bit of mystery, along with talking about love then this book is for you. Personally I really liked this book. I didn’t love it because to me certain parts were boring and didn’t have enough details. I also didn’t love it because the ending left me with tons of questions. But overall it was very good! I really liked how she had details about people. And the surroundings wer...
I've only read a few pages, but this book is really good so far. The author's writing style is different from all the others I've read, and yet it always makes sense. I read some of the funny parts out loud to my little sister last night, and she said she'd have to read it. I'm loving the idea that all of these women live in the same household together, and Gram is really funny. Sprout is cute. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of this book! *UPDATE* I LOVE this book! I'm definitely readin...
At first I was not in love with the premise of Deb Caletti's newest; it seemed a little too much like a movie theme, kinda like the last one. But Caletti's writing always conquers all. This, to me, was her most powerful novel. It's all about love and relationships and what women are willing to put up with for love. Like so many of her other novels, it's a multi-generational story and while the heroine is a teen, her mom, grandma, aunt, and the women who have been in her father's life are all liv...
The Secret Life of Prince Charming is a fun and likeable book. I liked Quinn and her family, they were fun to read about and the story was entertaining and really good.
Rating: 2.5/5Review to come!
Well, I'm only a few chapters into this book. I was a fan of Deb Caletti. I loved her first few books (The Queen of Everthing, Wild Roses, The Nature of Jade) but, this book (a lot like The Fortunes Of Indigo Skye) is filled with negativity and makes me feel like I'm being lectured. I've read some other reviews and I hold hope that the book will get better.(I truly hope it does because I paid $10 for it, which is a lot for a book.) It's taking forever to get to the actual plot with action. I lo
Whenever I come across an author that relies on "God" or "Jesus" as a valid way to begin lots and lots of sentences and who can't seem to get through a page without a four letter word (and usually when there are lots, including some made up variations of those words), the thing that always strikes me is how lazy and lacking in any real talent that author is. I mean, at least try to sound intelligent. I couldn't even begin to get into this story and at this point, I really couldn't care less what...
