Summary

In this humorous and insightful tale, a modern day princess finds herself single and asking for magical intervention to change her sorry love life. Rather than casting a spell to bring Prince Charming to her rescue, a savvy fairy godmother gives the tenderhearted damsel an unexpected gift. By entrusting her true thoughts and desires to an unlikely confidant, the young royal soon discovers that the person who could make her life everything she dreamed it would be has been with her all along.

As author Kym Petrie herself realized, every woman needs a froggy friend and a secret journal—and enough adventures with the girls to keep her heart pounding and her mind racing. Life is meant to be about happy beginnings . . . you can never have enough of them.

Review

The Enchanted Truth is a quick read that ended a little differently than I expected, but I’m actually happy about that. Touted as a good book to give as a gift, at only 40 pages long The Enchanted Truth is a quick read. I enjoyed the story in general and appreciated its message to women of all ages.

The book kept me engaged for the duration, though the constant alliteration and ever-changing descriptors for each character became a bit distracting after a while. Phrases such as “anxious aristocrat” and “glowing guest” were cute at first, but got old after awhile. Still, it wasn’t enough to make me stop reading and the overall message is a good one.
