Spin Control
By:Nicky Burnham
Spin Control is a romantic comedy telling the classic story about a normal girl finding her prince charming. Main character, Valerie Winslow, had moved to the tiny country of Sweirenbourg with her father. Due to her dads job as cheif protocol, they were able to live under the same roof as the royal family. There, Valerie gets hooked up with none other than...the actual prince! who is cute, funny, and the perfect match for her. That is, until the two lovebirds are told to "cool things off" due to the unfriendly press. After very rude comments made about Valerie in the news, the king and queen decide that the couple should stop seeing eachother for a while and the two went their seperate ways for christmas break to sort out their feelings.
Valerie decides to fly back to Virginia to visit her mother and her mothers girlfriend. However she soon discovers that her old crush David Anderson, may have feelings for her too. While going on "test" dates with David, Valerie struggles with wether her true love is the cute sensitive prince in Schwerinbourg, or her good friend and crush in Virginia. All this and dealing with her lesbian mom is tearing Valerie apart. What will she do? well ha ha if you want to know guess you"ll have to read the book.
Personally, Spin Control, is one of the best books I've ever read. Of course its only the sequal to perhaps the best teen read on the face of the earth (ok maybe i'm exaggerating a bit), Royally Jacked. These two books are funny, romantic, but can also be extremely sad at times. I really like the writing style of Nicky Burnham. She uses a casual teen language that you can realate to and also has the magic of absorbing you into the story. I found i couldnt put the book down all the way till the very end. This is a great book and I hope you guys enjoyed my review.

I have saw the book Royal Jacked in the library but not the first one.
Sounds like it might be worth a try.
