"The Frog Prince" By Jane Porter

When I started reading this book, I thought that it was going to be about this depressed girl, all sad and gloomy. Tables turn though & the book is fairly similar to life. The Leather & Lace Ball part was a tad interesting.

A great part of the book was when the main character, Holly, is reflecting on what men and women are for. Her friend says that men "live for food, sleep and sex, not necessarily in that order." Holly's thoughts, on what women are for, is my quote for this novel.

"We're raised on fairy tales and baby dolls, Barbie dolls and Modern Bride. We read Oprah books and cozy mysteries, romances, Cosmo, and People magazine. We watch soaps and dramas, romantic comedies and action thrillers with our guys. And what's the one thing that all these have in common?

Others. We read, dream, watch, and fantasize about others. Loving others. Giving to others. Helping others. And one day being loved by others. But do we ever learn to love ourselves?

Do we ever get to the point where we're fine on our own? Happy, without others? I can only hope so."
