My Library Books — The Sleeping Beauty Proposal by Sarah Strohmeyer
Judging by the cover, you might assume this is some vapid, run-of-the-mill chick lit: perfectly suited for a day by the pool, but not worthy of discussion.
Instead, this book is witty and fun. The plot is slightly far-fetched, but in a whimsical way that doesn’t grate on your nerves. I also appreciated the author’s note at the end, when she says, “I’ve always felt that our tradition of not supplying women with the necessary kitchen gadgets, cutlery, dinnerware, etc., was outdated anyway. What’s a girl supposed to do? Live on paper plates until she becomes some man’s wife? No! Of course not.”
