In my search for "appropriate" romance for my teen, I had little hope for these, and they surprised me. They are fairly short stories, and each one loosely followed a familiar tale; Snow White, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood- etc. They also had the prerequisite heroine who is quirky and smart, not knowing she needs saving, or at least not saving by the strong, sensitive handsome man to whom she is attracted, blahblahblah. The main twist to these stories, one I found somewhat intriguing, is that the characters are Christians, and are active in their beliefs. That IS a twist, and somewhat refreshing. Plus, the romances were just that- romance, not sex stories. Not featuring young girls sneaking out of houses for late night rendevous with teen boy lotharios. Goodie.
So, yes, this is drivel, but wholesome drivel.
