There’s nothing worse than having to be moved all the way across the United States. Lucy moved from San Francisco to Long Island New York. Her mom died when she was three and her dad got married to Mara. The book called, If I Have a Wicked Stepmother, Where’s My Prince? Really tells a story about How Lucy thinks her life is turning into a Fairy Tale.
Lucy is the reason I like this book because she realizes that people lives could become a fairy tale and the prince charming isn’t always the person you think it’s going to be. Author Melissa tells us how that in the beginning of a new marriage and trying to become one family isn’t always easy to do. Mara was first divorced and then she’s married to Lucy’s dad.
Mara has two daughters Lucy addresses them as Princess 1 and Princess 2. Lucy has this huge crush on Connor who is a basketball star. Lucy knows everything about basketball. But when Madison and Jessica tell Lucy that Connor likes her everything changed for Lucy from being an outcast and a new girl to a known popular girl. Lucy and her father both like art, they go to the museums together just the two of them. Lucy always went to the art room because that was the only place she felt comfortable in.
Then there’s this boy named Sam he is one of the best artist in the high school. Lucy always tried to talk to Sam but he just seems like he doesnt want to talk to her. Sam gave an invitation to one of his mom’s art openings, but Lucy never until she finally talked to him there. Later on the night she had to leave to go to.
Lucy thought Connor was the one but when they went to the prom everything changed!
Lucy and her family went to Madison’s before prom party. They took pictures and got ready for the prom at Madison’s house. That’s when Lucy realized that she just has to get used to having Mara as her new mom. Also that Long Island is now Her new home.
At the prom Lucy felt sad because she had created feelings for Sam. When she told her friends she had to go to the bathroom she ran into Sam and his girlfriend. There were fighting so Lucy just listened. During the fight Connor and Kathryn were dancing on the dance floor and they weren’t acting friends they were becoming way friendlier. So Lucy walked back seeing Connor and she told him she was going to leave and he said nothing else but see ya what a good boyfriend right?
The Theme of this book is Teen Romance. It seems so real on how you can relate it to yourself. Even though we are just teens and we don’t know what Love really means we think we do know. We think that once we have a boyfriend he is the love of our lives but it doesn’t always turn out this way. Sometimes we see right through the person that really is our true love, it just doesn’t “click”
Right when she walked out Sam came running towards her. He took off his glasses and told her he liked her. He said he never thought that this would happen and that if she didn’t want to consider Connor has her prince charming anymore he would always be there for her. They kissed and they rode off on carriages in Manhattan, New York.
Who said your life couldn’t be a Fairy Tale?
