Eglington is a fantastically relatable novel that deals with issues
such as cyber bullying, heartbreak, insecurity, romance and
friendship. The way Tara Eglington writes this inspirational and
striking sequel to How to keep a boy from kissing you helps
the reader become engrossed in this misshapen fairy tale of a love
story and keeps the reader thoroughly interested from start to
finish. This novel is suited very well to both younger and older
teenage girls who like to read about romance and friendship.
Aurora is a teenage girl who has finally, after testing trials,
found her perfect fairytale prince and is working to make her dream
relationship become a reality. After a handful of unfortunate
occurrences - some that leave her dream boy Hayden in the emergency
department - Aurora's dating confidence deflates considerably. Amid
this sea of misfortune and uncertainty Aurora's good friend Jelena
has started campaigning to become student school captain and plans
to include Aurora's Find a Prince/Princess Program as one of her
feature campaign points. And, with her alternative dad trying to
find love for himself, Aurora tries to find some balance in the her
suddenly chaotic life, the fates decide to test her willpower as she
keeps calm and fights her way through with warrior princess
strength.
