Snow QueenPlot Summary
Chamberlain Ski Resort and Spa
Welcome to the 10th Annual Snow Queen competition!
I can't believe I got roped into this.
Snow Princesses must attend all pageant rehearsals, with appropriate outfits.
Well, no matter what it takes, I'm going to wipe that smirk off Layla Chamberlain's face.
Our rehearsal space can be booked to practice your talent.
Um, does "looking dumb in a dress" count as a talent?
See Grayson Chamberlain, the assistant director, with any questions.
If you insist! First question: How can someone so sweet (and hot!) be a Chamberlain?
Good luck! One of you will soon be our new Snow Queen!
Oh joy.
Unless Grayson comes with the tiara . . .

Critical Evaluation
As far as Chick Lit goes, this one is not too bad! It was a bit predictable and nothing really stood out as amazing but I could read it without feeling pained. The writing was quite good. Nothing stood out as painfully written or executed. But this type of Chick lit does not speak to me. I find it to be a bit dull and superficial. However, I know chick lit is a popular genre and this book would be a great addition to the collection.
Reader’s Annotation
Aubrey gets roped into being an attendant in the Snow Queen Pageant.
