ROYAL WEDDING; ROYAL MESS! WHAT HAS 18-YEAR-OLD PR INTERN TILLY MAGUIRE LANDED HERSELF IN?

Aspiring writer, 18-year-old Tilly Maguire, is a totally reformed ex-superfan of British boyband singer, Reuben Vaughan. Yeah, she was going to marry him when she was thirteen, but that fangirl phase is way in her past now, along with an unfortunate side ponytail and a weird obsession with galaxy leggings - ugh. Cringe!

When her writing wins Tilly a six-week internship at a top London PR firm, she doesn't expect to stumble from a long-haul flight straight into an A-list debacle of her own making, but these things happen. She proves to the entire world that jet lag and social media definitely don't mix.

Obviously, Tilly didn't intend to get tangled in a ridiculous scandal involving the British royal family. She's not the attention-seeking type! She's just a socially awkward introvert, with a galloping case of anxiety made even worse after a high-profile run-in with the very last person she ever imagined she'd meet for real.

Not on her gap year, anyway.

And not like this!

      Author Emma Grey declares this gloriously soapy book an ‘unapologetic fairytale’. Grey has fun with classic fairytale elements as well as modern pop culture: indeed, the book features run-ins with royalty, a fallen-off shoe at a ball, and other completely unlikely events. Melbourne girl Tilly is in London for a PR internship on the back of her blog-writing. When she creates a royal mess at a ball thanks to an Insta-fail, she is saved by none other than Reuben Vaughan, the pop star that her teenage self adored. (Reuben just happens to be in the band first featured in Grey’s equally delightful YA debut Unrequited.) Naturally, the course of true love doesn’t run smooth for Tilly and Reuben, or any other characters, thanks to many misunderstandings and everyone’s higher motives. Under all the froth and bubbles, there’s some nice, meaty material for teenagers to dig into: Grey has created a heroine who deals with social anxiety and panic attacks. An aspiring writer, Tilly recognises her creativity is just as important as any man’s, and, as in many modern romances, this heroine is an independent woman who doesn’t need rescuing by a prince. A pleasurable escape for any teen looking for a can’t-put-downable, but not-dumbed-down read.
