Princess Academy by Shannon Hale

A long time ago I was given this book. It was personalized and signed by the author. I tried to read it. I got through the first 2 chapters and forgot about it. I did this several times. I love the author, and wasn't sure why this wasn't working for me. With the sequel coming out this month I decided to try again. Now, I am not sure what my problem was.
It is a sweet coming of age story. I am pretty sure Ms. Hale has a thing for languages (or speak, as it tends to be called), hardly a book she writes goes without the introduction of a new one. This was a different than I expected and definitely not as girly. Interesting that the message I kept getting was that I need to be a mom. Being a mom to my children is important because no one else can do it but me. Weird that I took that away from a book about a girl in her early teens. Definitely worth my time, but I still like Goose Girl better. ;)
