The Bookish Island's Book Review:
My Faire Lady by Laura Wettersten
Are there spoilers?
I don't really think so.

This is one of the books I read after the passing of Hurricane Maria here in Puerto Rico. With no water, electricity or internet I took to reading my books.
I decided to not do this for the books I've read on 2018. But it has been 6 months since Hurricane Maria. And I'm happy to announce that now we have water, and electricity.
Title - My Faire LadyBy - Laura Wettersten
Publication - June 2nd 2015 by Simon Schuster Books for Young Readers
Copy - Paperback, 352 pages
Genre - Young Adult, Cotemporary, Romance
Rowena Duncan is a thoroughly modern girl with big plans for her summer—until she catches her boyfriend making out with another girl. Heartbroken, she applies to an out-of-town job posting and finds herself somewhere she never expected: the Renaissance Faire.
As a face-painter doubling as a serving wench, Ro is thrown headfirst into a vibrant community of artists and performers. She feels like a fish out of water until Will, a quick-witted whip cracker, takes her under his wing. Then there’s Christian, a blue-eyed stunt jouster who makes Ro weak in the knees. Soon, it’s not just her gown that’s tripping her up.
Trading in the internet and electricity for stars and campfires was supposed to make life simpler, but Ro is finding that love is the ultimate complication. Can she let the past make way for her future?

My Review:
My Faire Lady is by the author Laura Wettersten.
This was my first ever online purchase and the first book I ordered from book outlet.
I knew nothing about this book or even read any of the reviews on Goodreads or anywhere else. I just got it. Mostly because I had earned some money and was saving it. So I spent it on a book.
My Faire Lady is about a girl named Ro who had just been dumped by her girlfriend because he wanted to be with someone else. Not only does that suck but her ex is also going to be working at he mall where she was going to be working over the summer vacation with her friends. Last minute she decided she's not going to be able to handle that so she reads the paper and finds that someone is looking for a face painter. And that's the start of this cute contemporary set in a Ren faire (Renaissance faire).
I loved how I even though I didn't know what a Renaissance faire was or what it looked like and stuff, I could totally visualize it thanks to Laura's descriptions of the clothing and events.
It was a book full of cliché YA contemporary romance stuff. With love triangles, hot guy vs. nerd boy. When you know from the beginning she will end up with the nerd who actually likes her as opposed to the hot guy who just wants to sleep with her. I knew what was going to happen with the romance from the start but I still liked this book.
I would totally read another one of the authors books if they are like this one. Just no more dumb love triangles please.
I started and finished this book on November 6, 2017.
