Is it (Really) Easy to Catch a Prince?

Do you have a best friend who you wish were your sibling? In To Catch a Prince, an exciting realistic fiction novel by Gillian McKnight, this is exactly the case. Helene Masterson and Alexis Worth are best friends and stepsisters. When a summer internship leads them to London, some pretty outrageous characters are met along the way. During the plane ride to London, Helene reveals to Alexis that she has a huge crush on Prince William. To make the summer more interesting Helene and Alexis make a bet: one of the girls must snag Prince William before summer ends. As the bet unfolds, so do the adventures. They meet two guys who would do anything for them, jet of to Malta, a small island near Italy, and learn some unsettling news about their cousin, Nichola's boyfriend. To Catch a Prince is a funny, exciting, and interesting book. If you like Meg Cabot books like Ready or Not and All American Girl then this book is a great read for you. How far would you go to catch a prince?

to catch a prince....or not??

To catch a prince was a very detailed book. It started off a bit slow but it picked up a lot of speed. I enjoyed this book, however, it was not worth 5 stars, therefore, 4 stars. I would recommend this book but it does take a long time to read because it is so detailed. Thanks for reading my review! I hope it will be of a big help to you in your tough decision on choosing to read this book or not. Also, check out the sequel to this book - Frogs and Princes. Gillian McKnight is an amazing author!!!! One of my personal favs.
