Carmen Aguilar is living a fairy tale life.

If Beauty hated the Beast

And she was constantly outshined by her rich, spoiled cousin.

And she was stuck completing a work-study program as a “party princess” to earn the last high school credits she needed for her diploma.

Ay, Carmen’s happily-ever-after summer?

Has just turned into her own personal telenovela nightmare!

A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection

“Tempers fly, old wounds are reopened, and romance is in the air as this princess endures complex family dynamics and the infuriating attention of her very own Prince Charming… Compelling relationships and characters dazzle like a quinceañera tiara.” -- Kirkus Reviews

“Debut author Gomez-Hira’s writing delights, handling the romantic tension between Carmen and Mauro, as well as the strained, aptly layered family dynamics and Miami setting, with fun and flair. Fans of Jane the Virgin will have a ball.” -- Publishers Weekly
