It wasn't one of those YA novels where the girl pretends she isn't pretty but she secretly is. We need more science-loving girls in YA!!! I also appreciated the fact that Freya constantly said she wasn't beautiful, and when a potential love interest arose, he liked her for what was WITHIN and didn't pretend she was something she wasn't.

I also really, REALLY loved the fact that the main character is awesome at science and just wants to do her experiments. ( And yet I really loved that book, so I couldn't complain too much!) When I saw someone spotlighting it on Waiting on Wednesday, I was like, That's the book!!!!!!! And then I got my hands on an ARC and I was one happy reader!! For some unknown reason, I'd convinced myself that this was the original summary for RUINED by Amy Tintera, and I was SO let down when that book's summary 'changed' so drastically. It took me forever to find this book, too. I will say that the book wasn't like I expected it to be, but I still really enjoyed it! PLUS, it's a stand-alone!!! *happy dance* So few and so far apart!!! (And will it? I can't tell you that!!! You're gonna have to read this book in five months when it debuts and find out for yourself! Maybe she did, maybe she didn't, but as readers, the mystery is in getting to the bottom of what REALLY happened that night!) When I heard about LONG MAY SHE REIGN and saw it was about a girl's surge to power, I immediately wondered if it would be like the musical I loved so much!

So he slips into the lives of family who never knew he existed and starts knocking them off one by one. The musical is about a man who finds out that he's a D'Ysquith and ninth in line to inherit everything. The summary actually reminded me a lot of this really funny, really dark musical called A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, which was nominated for ten Tony Awards-and it won 2014 Best Musical! When I first heard about LONG MAY SHE REIGN by Rhiannon Thomas, I was SUPER intrigued.
