Royally Crushed by Niki Burnham
(Simon Pulse - March 22, 2011)
Summary:
Valerie’s life is pretty good. While she’s not the most popular girl in school, she does have decent grades, great friends, and a potential boyfriend. All a girl could want.
Then her mother announces that (1) she’s gay, and (2) she’s leaving Valerie’s dad for her girlfriend. Not what Valerie envisioned for her future. And just when Valerie is getting over this bombshell, her father tells her he’s gotten a new job as protocol chief for the royal family of some obscure European country.
Valerie’s world has come unglued. She can either stay in Virginia with her mom and her über-organized, veggie-burger-eating girlfriend, or go with her dad, leaving everything she knows for some place she’s never heard of. Valerie opts to go, and quickly discovers that it was a mistake — until she meets the prince, and all bets are off!
Reason:
It's all the fault of Shanyn from Chick Loves Lit. I checked my Google reader today and she was the first to bring this one to my attention. I'm more than intrigued by this summary. It seems like Valerie's life will be turned upside down by her parents' decisions regarding their lives. To me it is always interesting to see how teenagers react to abrupt and big changes in their lives.
Now what books are you waiting for?
