The Most Embarrassing Non-Proposal Ever!

I finished reading The Sleeping Beauty Proposal by Sarah Strohmeyer last night.  Originally I bought this book at Borders because Meg Cabot (my favorite author!) wrote a praise about one of Strohmeyer's other novel The Cinderella Pact  and the comment was featured on the back.  "Absolutely, irresistible" she said.  Since I had The Sleeping Beauty Proposal in my hand, and not the The Cinderella Pact , and it was the clearance section, I couldn't refuse it.  And let me tell you, I am glad I didn't; refuse it I mean. Strohmeyer's writing style and humor reminded me of Meg Cabot's (which is probably why she loved it so much, haha).  Genie, the main character, had a similar sense of humor as Mia Thermopolis (from Meg Cabot's Princess Diaries Series ), Susannah Simon (from her Mediator Series , minus the ghosts).  Heather Wells (from Size 12 is Not Fat, Size 14 is Not Fat Either, and Big Boned ) and many of Meg Cabot's other fabulous characters.  Along
