When I read this story I was drawn to Baily and the fairytale in a modern day world.  I was reminded of my love for THE PRINCESS DIARIES (the movie though, I have not read the books).  I remember thinking how this was a very creative reimagining of the same type of story.  An everyday ordinary girl, who finds out her life is quite possibly extraordinary.  Except with this story it isn't some awkward teen who just needs to grow into her princess beauty but a strong, opinionated combat boot wearing, black eyeliner wearing, humorous girl who is just not sure if who she is can merge with the responsibilities taking that title would require.We watch Baily get to know the family she never knew, interact with new friends and possible love interests.  She is goofy and fun and proud of who she is though and doesn't want to change.  I love that about Baily.  I love that she is comfortable in her own skin and able to be herself.  In my opinion this makes her someone you can look up to in hopes of being like.I loved the interaction between Baily, her friends, and especially Demitri.While as I say this was like a reimagining of THE PRINCESS DIARIES it was also different enough to set it apart.  I found it easy to get wrapped in the story and not want it to end.  I was eagerly trying to get more pages to show up on my kindle as I didn't want the story to end.  Luckily it doesn't as this is just book 1 in the series.I am looking forward to finding out what happens next in Baily's life.
