Being a princess isn't all that.... You've heard the fairytale: a glass slipper, Prince Charming, happily ever after... Welcome to reality: royal genealogy lessons, needlepoint, acting like "a proper lady," and -- worst of all -- a prince who is not the least bit interesting, and certainly not charming. As soon-to-be princess Ella deals with her newfound status, she comes to realize she is not "your majesty" material.

I think I prefer the original cover to this shiny new one with a red lipped model in a tiara. It feels too modern ...
Me gustó mucho la entereza y fortaleza con la que Ella se enfrenta a todos ellos, como intenta superarse a sí misma todo el rato y lucha hasta el final por aquello en lo que cree.
