Oh my dear!!!! This book is fascinating!! I love the cinderella feel of the story. The prince and the princesses. The dancing and the gowns. Everything is so beautiful. I could relate to het, and any author that has characters I can relate to make me fall in love with the book. 
 While I indeed enjoyed this book immensely, I feel that the author should have described the girls more. It seems each and every girl had a specific beauty about her. She should have described their beauty as in hair length, looks and maybe even references. I even cannot put to mind the way Maxon looks, and all I know about America is that she has flaming red hair. 
 I wonder also why she's called America. Not to sound rude or anything, but I feel that she should have been given a name that suits her fiery temper. But maybe her name has some significance to the story? 
 I'm off to read book two !!
