Once Upon a Date

2.5 Stars. I thought this book was cute in the beginning, but then it started getting repetitive and a bit annoying. I think everything was resolved too quickly and everything worked out too perfectly. Interestingly, Brooks' comment about Michelle's book being “unrealistic” is what I was thinking too. I appreciate a “whimsical romance” as he put it, but I can't get past how quickly everything happened. I am also not too much of a Michelle fan because it seemed like her personality was based on the naïve, adorkable Disney princess trope, and I thought she was a bit too old for that. I also really didn't like the ending at all; I thought it was rushed and way too soon in their relationship for something like that.
