Princess Izzy and the E Street Shuffle pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Once upon a time there lived a young Yale graduate named Isabella Cordage, who agreed to marry Prince Raphael of Bisbania. From that day forward, the world would always take note of what she wore.
Spirited, smart-mouthed, and occasioally klutzy, "Dizzy Izzy" (as the papers called her) couldn't help but make waves and tabloid headlines. Needing help, she turned to her old friend Geoffrey, a Springsteen-loving car mechanic whose advice would make her an international icon. So what if he was married - and that the prince had a secret dream of becoming a speech pathologist? None of it mattered one bit when a plane carrying the Prince and Geoffrey crashed and only one body washed ashore. With The Boss's Iyrics and her heart guiding her, Izzy did what she had to do: show the world how a woman can both rock and rule...
With more twists and turns than a spiral staircase, this mostly silly, occasionally clever debut dresses up chick lit conventions with aristocratic titles and predicaments. Borrowing heavily from the lives of the British royals, Bartlett invents a modern-day prince and princess living in the fictional country of Bisbania. Prince Raphael makes the political error of marrying a woman he truly loves, his childhood friend Isabella Cordage. As soon as their engagement is announced, Isabella becomes gossip-page fodder—the media nickname her "Dizzy Izzy" for a spill she took down the castle staircase. In an attempt to protect her image, Princess Isabella turns for advice to Geoffrey Whitehall-Wright, an American, Yale-educated auto mechanic whom she met (and flirted with) while they were undergraduates together. In a belabored plot device, Geoffrey doles out advice in the form of Bruce Springsteen lyrics that Princess Isabella interprets as fashion tips. This fairy tale might offer some escapism for the teenybopper set partial to the Princess Diaries movies. (Mar.)
