I am so up in the air about this book. I wanted to love it. I really really did. The whole 3 dresses idea was awesome and the ghost thing cool. the Rebecca/Becky thing good. (Although instead of Becky I wish it had been Becca.)
I liked that Becky did end up facing the consequences of her actions. And that the prince didn't just fall in love with Becky when Rebecca disappeared. Also Rochere was hilarious.
However it just didn't click for me. I had an issue with the language. I got the point with the f bomb and the whole trailer park, but I felt that after a certain point it was just shoving it in my face, which I didn't really care for. And there was just something that I can't put my finger on.
I all I loved the concept but I didn't love its execution.
