It can be a rarity to see yourself so clearly laid out in the pages of a book, but I saw just that in The Charm Offensive. That's why this book is so special to me. Alison created such a diverse cast of characters, including an asexual main character, which isn't something we see often in romance in fiction.  The characters are so lovable and the plot keeps you hooked from the beginning. 

I am not a fan of reality TV, but I was so invested in the season of the show Ever After that is being filmed throughout this story. I truly did not know how the book, or the show within the book, was going to end. The author's writing style is so easy to follow, with a good bit of steam and humor mixed in. 

I will recommending this to everyone I know and cherishing this book for a long time to come!
