She even says so herself on multiple occasions. She's not likeable. I don't understand how she could be so selfish throughout the whole thing. She would rather have him deformed and miserable then to let him go away to be happy and useful, just because she wanted him all to herself. That's a little ridiculous. I don't think real people would feel this way, even at sixteen. Clearly he was a wee bit miserable. psht. I wish there was more fairy nonsense in this. I like magic and shit. I don't know where to start with this one. Fairy Tale has been on my to read list for ages, but I always put off reading it, because I would find something else to read first. After finally reading it, I am very disappointed. This book starts off promising with the hot football player Cam, and his psychic girlfriend. Cam finds out that he is a changeling, a fairy baby that was switched with a human baby. He tells his girlfriend and she freaks. I found this book hard to read. With every chapter being 1-3 pages it felt disconnected and choppy. I never really got into any of the characters, and it didn't seem like there was an actual plot. Finding out that your boyfriend is a fairy should be exciting., except all she does is cry and whine about it. I would have loved that Cam stayed how he always was and just got powers, instead they reduced him to a teeny tiny wussy fairy, that ended up a joke. Whatsherface never used her powers for anything but crying and complaining. Then the author brings in a new character, the super nerd, Pip. Pip ends up being the human baby that Cam was switched with. Instead of having a new character, the author just lets him take over Cam's life. Where Cam was hot he is now a tiny lame fairy, and Pip who was a nerd is now super hot and strong. This irks me to no end. It's like Balog just let Cam wither away to die and no one remembers him at the end. The thing that I can not stand the most is how she starts to fall for Pip. She just starts to like him cause he's hot and resembles Cam when he was hot and strong. I wanted more from this book, but I was like pissed off and highly disappointed. Mi domando secondo quali criteri un romanzo venga nominato come papabile per un premio come il RITA nella categoria Young Adult Romance: in questo brevissimo romanzo paranormal romance tocchiamo veramente livelli abissali. Una lettura ridicola, a tratti addirittura imbarazzante. Cominciamo dalla storia: Morgan e Cameron sono stati fidanzati praticamente per tutta la loro vita, e ora, mentre si avvicina il giorno del loro sedicesimo compleanno, Morgan (che tra l'altro è una ragazzina dotata di poteri premonitori) nota dei piccoli cambiamenti nell'atteggiamento di Cameron, che le appare distaccato e distratto. La comparsa di un lontano, sifigatissimo, cugino di Cameron spinge la situazione al limite e assistiamo alla rivelazione del motore della storia: Cameron è in realtà una fata, abbandonato nel mondo degli umani perchè di salute cagionevole. Ora, dopo la morte del re delle fate nell'Oltremondo, si cerca un erede in linea di sangue. Si tratta proprio del nostro Cameron. Ovviamente. La grande "bruttezza"
I wanted to like Fairy Tale; I really did. But it just failed to meet my expectations in so many ways. It seems like this is not necessarily a failure of imagination on the part of the author -- in fact, Balog has many interesting, even potentially innovative ideas -- but rather, this is a failure of execution, of writing.
Morgan Sparks and her boyfriend Cam have been best friends since they were children, but just before their shared sixteenth birthday Cam confesses that he is a fairy who was switched at birth with a human child, and now the fairies want to switch them back.

I absolutely loved Pip. He was by far my favorite character in this book. Cam was okay and Morgan just pissed me off at times. For the most part, I liked her, but those few times when she would talk/think crap about Pip, it would just get to me.
I definitely liked Fairy Tale, which surprised me. I can’t wait to read Sleepless.
Note: This is an older review. So I don’t feel like I can get more into what I liked and disliked about it. Maybe someday I will re-read Fairy Tale and do another review. Better reviews (hopefully) in the future. ( )
