I read Part-Time Princesses in a day while killing time
between staffing agency interviews. I picked it up on my last trip to the comic
shop because it seemed like fun. It was one of those impulse purchases that
worked out well.
Four teenage friends are the A-list at their high school and
work summer jobs at the Enchanted Forest theme park as the princesses. The
girls get a reality check about the futures they had in mind for themselves and
have to help save the park from a crisis that threatens to shut it down.
It was such a fun read that I didn’t even realize I’d downed
most of it in an afternoon. The girls are interesting characters but suffer
from the ‘I’m popular, why should I talk to you’ syndrome. I disliked the
stereotype but enjoyed seeing them taken down a peg in a way that made them
improve as people.
It’s another good example of how graphic novels are more
than superheroes and monsters. Definitely recommend.
