re-read this for the first time since high school. i would say it's "fun" - a quick, light-hearted, upbeat read. all of the messages in this book are the same ones you find in disney movies, so don't go in expecting something incredibly deep or life altering 

(was really interesting reading this after just finishing "all about love" - lots of the same themes and messages between the two)
