This book is truly one that you'll end up reading again and again, it really never gets old. In a nutshell, it is a classic trading places storyline with added pop culture twists and tons of modern spice. Julia is the sullen but strong pauper while Carina (beautiful name!) is the naiive, caged bird princess who wants the life she sees American teens have from the movies she longingly watches. The storyline may seem slightly cliche'd, but with the wonderful, thoughtful writing, you won't be displeased.
