Julia Johnson is struggling with money. She isn't nearly as rich as the other girls in the school, her mother is on her own to provide for Julia and her cat. Suddenly, Julia gets an amazing and scary opportunity when Carina, the princess of Vineland, comes to school. Who knew they would look so similar? And ten thousand is a lot of money and just might be enough to help her mother. So when Carina proposes that Julia and her switch places, how can she say no? The plan seems great until Carina doesn't come back so they can switch back. How much longer can she keep this up?
The idea behind this story has been used so many times that it's tiring. The author did however bring a new sense of originality into it. The story seemed choppy at times but it made it more suspenseful. It didn't have the happy ending that I was hoping for. I would have liked to see a different one. It was a pretty good book but I wouldn't read it to seriously.
Both Julia and Carina seemed pretty annoying. They also didn't grow much by the end of the story. No character really stood out much. So I can't say much about them. But Carina was too immature and Julia was too serious. Although I did like Carina did gain maturity in the end.
