2. The Frog Prince

Book 2 was The Frog Prince. It's was OK... definitely not the best, but I guess not really the worst thing I've ever read. I can't decide if I'll give it to a friend to borrow or not. From B&N: When Californian Holly Bishop marries her Prince Charming in a fairy-tale wedding, she expects to live happily ever after. Unfortunately, the happiness ends with the start of the honeymoon, when her husband admits he doesn't find her sexually attractive, and 14 months later, she divorces him. Determined to start anew, she moves from small-time Fresno to San Francisco to forge a career as an event planner but isn't confident enough to make it work. Still desperate to know where her marriage went wrong and with a nasty boss, no close friends, and a succession of bad dates, she finds life unbearable until she meets a newspaper editor who helps her believe in herself. When a high-profile project of hers is sabotaged and she loses her job, she at last rises to the challenge and sets her life in order. A tighter plot and more scrupulous editing might have made this story a winner. As is, it's typical chick-lit fare. Not bad, but an optional purchase.
