Review: Very, very sweet story
Rating: 5 out of 5

I received an advanced copy of Tripping Prince Charming, and took my time reading.I have not read many romance novels, and I found this one to be a very sweet story, giving hope to the wounded and skeptics. The story is, at times, heartbreaking, when we learn about the past lives of some of the characters. But it is beautiful to read a book with such a lovely happy ending.It was more than falling in love too quickly or being unrealistic in lust/love. The love scenes were slow building, and didn't happen right away. This is something I can appreciate, and something that kept me coming back, turning the pages, getting to know the characters and their stories.Although I can see the book as a play, I am a bit unsure about the songs/music at the start of the story. Not because I have anything against music and books - they go hand in hand in my opinion. While I admire something so unique, and it could potentially grow on me, I am just a bit unsure. This is minor - I wouldn't even call it an issue. This is a book worth reading and sharing with everyone you know.Again, Wade described the stories and their personalities quite well, which brings me to something that I always look for and love to comment on.Details. The author told us how someone was breathing. How the wind blew. How someone was standing. What the hand was doing as it reached. As a fellow writer, this was inspiring, compelling. And I almost forgot, an integral character - I enjoyed learning about the "fairy god-father." I enjoyed the story, and I repeat: I could absolutely see it as a play. I still picture the scene with the boisterous laughter and the rocking chair at the beginning of the book with condensation forming and dripping from a glass. So descriptive, bringing the story to life.
