Every little girl dreams of being swept off her feet by a charming Prince.
But my life was no fairy tale.
And in this kingdom called college, the rules went out the window.
I’d known golden boy, Theo Hunt, was the one for me since we were kids. My heart was his for the taking, but I had become nothing more than the MVP of the campus king’s friend-zone.
Easton Cole was a storm I couldn’t have predicted. He knocked me off my feet and stole my heart. But he was off limits. Not only was he was Theo’s frat brother, but he was the teacher’s assistant in English 101 and I was acing every test.
My heart was torn, my feelings tangled.
Because as soon as I noticed Easton, Theo finally noticed me.
I was in love with two guys, as different as night and day, but I could only have one.
I only hoped I didn’t choose The Wrong Prince Charming.
For some reason, I didn't remember this was a college romance so I was pleasantly surprised when I started and I realised it was one. Maddison just arrived in college and you see her reunite with her life long best friend Theo. These two have a super close friendship and you can see from both their actions and Maddison's thoughts that they both have feelings for each other but don't want to go there and be in danger of losing each other's friendship. You also understand from very early on that they both have crappy families and that they are each other's support system. Theo's father isn't a great one and Maddison's parents sort of seem him as their son and are better supporters of his than their own daughter. Maddison is living a life her parents imposed on her. No one understands her passion for photo journalism, not until Easton comes along. Theo seems like a great guy from the start but you can see that although he is a great friend and his relationship with Maddison is adorable, he doesn't know her fully and he rather side with her parents than his best friend. And that didn't sit well with me right from the start. He starts changing his tune once Easton comes into the picture. Now, Easton I honestly loved him from the second Maddison crashed into him. They just clicked and I enjoyed their banter so much. And slowly he reveals just how amazing he is. At first he's hesitant because he is her TA but when life forces them together again and again, it's impossible to resist her, specially while getting to know the girl beyond the beautiful face and smokin' body. Easton is just so sexy, fun, adventurous and he's there for her no matter what. He makes her dreams come true and helps her get the resolve to do what's right for her. I honestly think he was amazing beyond belief. Some will say this is a love triangle and the idea is there but it's not fully one. Yes, Maddison is in love with two great guys at the same time but I don't think there ever really was a doubt to who she ends up with when you start seeing everyone's true colors. At least for me. But it's a fact that The Wrong Prince Charming has all the drama of a story where two guys are after the same girl and said girl is in love with both of them. It's sweet, it's conflicting and it's angsty and you'll love the ride. However, there are points in the story that could have been better. Close to the end, everything happens so goddarn fast. It should have been a slower process, things should have been better explained, it kind of felt like somethings were jumped over. Maddison forgave too soon and with no real explanation or apology, she deserved more than what she got. And when she finally put her balls to use and took reins over her life, I would have liked to see the conversation with her parents and gotten more details over her decision and thought process. And Easton too, how he learned what she was doing and how he went from being hurt and angry to forgiving her. I think these were major moments in the story and what it had been building up to that just didn't get their monumental justice. I felt it was definitely lacking in all these points and that's why I'm rating this a 4 and not a 5. In my opinion Easton deserved all the stars on his own ;)
