The Secret Life of Prince Charming

The Secret Life of Prince Charming
By Deb Caletti
Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2009. 322 pgs. Young Adult

Seventeen-year-old Quinn is trying to maintain a relationship with her father, who has been absent most of her life. At the same time, she's constantly hearing about the many flaws in men, as all the women in her life have had their hearts broken. When she discovers his father has a tendency to steal from the many women in his life, she embarks on a quest with her younger sister and older half sister to return the stolen goods and to discover the truth about their father and life in general.

I highly enjoyed this book. Some language detracted from the book but only slightly. The many relationships depicted (parent-child, sibling, romantic) were genuinely depicted and there were moments of true beauty in this book.
