Once I started reading Trailer Park Princess I was hooked. Delia did a fabulous job of hooking her readers in and delivering a fabulous, heart felt story of love and acceptance.Rory is a quirky teen from the wrong side of the tracks. She spits out random facts when she is nervous and she loves with all of her heart. Her father left her, her mother is a drunk that wants nothing to do with her, and she has taken on the responsibility of raising her younger brother in a run down trailer park. She was dealt a terrible hand and despite the fact, she still dreams about being rescued by her prince charming. “My granny always said, “Rory, baby, you are a dreamer,” and if she was here now, I would tell her it’s because when you live a nightmare you have to dream, or you will never make it”.When Rory meets Toby, she thinks her dreams are becoming a reality. The high school football star is good looking, popular, sweet and rich. He promises to take her away from the trailer park life and give her everything she deserves. Toby is a sweetheart in the beginning but then things start to change. The fact that Toby is rich causes some issues in their relationship and sometimes things aren’t as great as they seem.Enter Rome. On the night that Rory desperately needs to be rescued by her prince charming, it is Rome who shows up to save her. Rome is also from the trailer park and quickly becomes one of Rory’s best friends. He is charming and sweet, caring and compassionate, and fiercely protective of her. It is obvious that he cares for more as more than a friend but he holds his feelings back to let Rory live her life. "You don’t mean anything to me; you mean everything to me. You are the only woman who can make my heart smile like this. Every time I look at you, I want to stop what I am doing and write you a love song." SWOON!!!Delia did an excellent job with this book and it far exceeded my expectations. Her writing style is unique and she has created dynamic characters that you can’t help but fall in love with. Mando’s mouth is hysterical. I love that she writes in a way that feels like the characters are speaking directly to you. This was my first read from Delia and it certainly wont be my last!When situations arise and the tension escalates will Rory turn to Toby or Rome? Well, you will just have to read and find out
