Cute, I'd recommend this book,
By Willow (Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Princesses Don't Sweat (Mass Market Paperback)
After reading (and adoring) Kaz Delaney's first book, My Life As A Snow Bunny, I couldn't wait to read PRINCESSES DON'T SWEAT. While the characters and story aren't as memorable as the characters from her previous book, PRINCESSES DON'T SWEAT was still a cute, fun read.
Madeline doesn't know who her father is - which is why she's so reluctant to fly to Australia with her mom, where she will be meeting the guy that may become her stepfather in the near future. She claims that her mom is too flighty, crazy, and just plain weird to fly halfway around the world just to meet up with some guy she met in a chatroom. But Madeline goes with her mom anyway (as if she had a choice), and ends up spending Christmas in a country with no snow or Christmas carolers. Madeline is terrified to find out that she won't get to do loads of shopping, lounging, and get pampered when she's staying down under. In fact, she ends up getting lost in the Outback and having to stay with a family of complete strangers...except for the fact that she's "in love" with the teenage boy Mitch... PRINCESSES DON'T SWEAT was cute and funny, but it seemed to be lacking a little bit of that...oomph that made My Life As A Snow Bunny so special. I still enjoyed it and am looking forward to another book by Kaz Delaney. Overall grade - B

HILARIOUS!! AN EXCELLENT, MUST READ!!,
By Ren Hinkler (Bristolville, OHIO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Princesses Don't Sweat (Mass Market Paperback)
Madeline is a regular New York city girl. However when her mother meets Barry in a chat room, they head out to Australia for Christmas. What with all the creepy- crawlies, (who all have a hit contract to kill her), and Ba-ree, Madeline defenantly doesn't want to go. Things just keep getting bad for her, from an ugly green bathroom in Ba-ree's house to a sudden trip to the outback where all it is is nothing! And certainly no malls. When their car breaks down in the middle of no where they're finally saved by a hot guy, just what Madeline wants. She works hard to get his attentions and survive embarassment after embarassment. This book is funny and interesting the whole way through. If you want a story about a teen girl who's trying to survive the outback and look for some romance while being funny at the same time, this is the book for you!

Enjoyable but needed more editing,
This review is from: Princesses Don't Sweat (Mass Market Paperback)
I almost put this book aside when the urban New York heroine was speaking in Australian slang. This started the book off on a very rough note for me. I realize that the author is an Aussie but the character was a Yank and should have spoken like a modern American teen.
Madeline's mother has met an online boyfriend, so she and her mother need to go to Australia to meet him. Madeline is very resistant to the idea, especially as her vacation gets worse and worse fast. I found Madeline to be excessively immature for her age. This marred what was a very cute and enjoyable story. Her antics and character growth were fun and thought-provoking, but this hasn't been my favorite Smooch release.
