SuitabookHow NOT to Kiss a Prince
B Wheeler
- Reading
- Read together if the fairytale curse and queer first-love premise invite discussion. Pause to explore how Carla’s transformation and Em’s feelings are presented, then check in before continuing if either feels uncomfortable.
- Themes
- Friendship and romantic feeling: Em helps Carla seek a prince’s kiss while wishing she could kiss Carla herself. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Fairytale transformation: Carla is cursed to become a hag for eternity, and a prince’s kiss may break the spell. The premise creates room to consider how identity and appearance operate within fairytale conventions, but it does not establish the book’s judgement about transformation or beauty.
- Worth knowing
- Consider whether the curse and transformation premise feels emotionally comfortable, and whether your reader would welcome a romance involving friendship, identity and first love. The book’s wider content is not established here.
