Princess Carina of Vineland has always wanted to see America, so she's thrilled when she gets to go to L.A. There's just one problem: Her eagle-eye caretaker won't let her out of her sight, and she wants to meet her cyber-boyfriend, a hot American rocker. His concert is the same night as a ball, though, so she'll never be able to go. Then she meets Julia, her American look-alike. Carina offers to pay Julia ten grand to trade places with her for one day, and Julia readily accepts. How hard can it be? But then Julia gets Carina's face in the tabloids, and Carina ends up stranded in Arizona while Julia jets back to Vineland. This is a new take on the classic The Prince and the Pauper, with some surprising twists. It was funny, and I really enjoyed it.
