BOOK REVIEW: My Fair Godmother by Janette Rallison
I am left crying for more after this book! O.M.G. THE BEST MODERN FAIRYTALE I HAVE READ THIS YEAR. PERIOD. It had adaptations from Snow White and Cinderella that were matched with the sensibilities of modern life, that's why this novel was took my heart in its grasp.
If you're Savannah Delano, you end up with a gum-chewing, cell phone-carrying, high heel-wearing, teenage faury godmother named Chrysanthemum (Chrissy) Everstar. After Savannah's picture-perfect boyfriend, Hunter, dumps her to go out with her older sister, Jane, she idly wishes she could not find a true prince to take her to the prom.
Instead, she gets Chrissy. Only a "fair" godmother (because she's not a very good fairy student), Chrissy attempts to grant Savannah 3 wishes, which get her sent back to the Middle Ages: once as Cinderella, once as Snow White, and once to save Tristan, the surprisingly cute boy from her school who's also found himself a victim of Chrissy's mistaken wish-granting.
From trolls to dragons to the mysterious Black Knight, Savannah and Tristan must beat the odds to make it back to modern times together. Part lighthearted fantasy and part romantic comedy, this book proves that finding your one true love can be a Grimm experience!
After reading this, I looked at fairy tales in a completely different light. Wonderfully written by such a talented author, it made for pleasant reading right until the very end. For those of you who are into reading young adult genre books or love a good rom-com, this book will lead you on a magical journey.
