A wickedly funny fairytale for modern women from the ?laugh-out-loud funny? (Washington Post Book World) author of The Cinderella Pact.
Genie?s commitment-phobic boyfriend is finally proposing?on national television. To the woman he?s been seeing on the side. It?s a major wake-up call for a girl who?s hit the snooze button on her life a few too many times.
With no names mentioned on the broadcast, Genie finds herself flooded with presents and congratulations. It?s up to her to explain the mistake, but sometimes waking up is hard to do.
When her parents start planning the reception, she can?t help enjoying herself. Why call off the so-called engagement just yet? It?s fun to play princess. But unless a prince shows up?and soon?this dream could start getting weird.

Sarah Strohmeyer is the bestselling author of Sweet Love, The Cinderella Pact, The Sleeping Beauty Proposal, The Secret Lives of Fortunate Wives, and the popular "Bubbles" series. She lives with her family outside Montpelier, Vermont.
In Strohmeyer's latest novel, following The Cinderella Pact (2006), college admissions counselor Genie Michaels has to face the world after her author boyfriend, Hugh, proposes on national television to someone else. Horrified, Genie realizes she has spent most of her life "sleeping," or waiting for something to happen to her. Spurred by her best friend, her first action after she awakens is to allow friends and family to believe she is the mystery woman Hugh asked to marry him. Her trickery prompts an irate phone call from the alleged fiance himself. During the deception, Genie enjoys being the center of attention, although she grows increasingly nervous as her mother and sister make plans for the wedding. She also meets a chiseled Greek carpenter, Nick, further complicating her situation. Gradually, Genie begins to realize that she can take charge of her life on her own terms. With or without Hugh, Genie soon seems well on her way to having it all in this humorous tale of romance, heartbreak, and healing. Katherine Boyle
