Deb Caletti's The Secret Life of Prince Charming tells the story of three sisters (two sisters and a half sister) on a quest to return the mementoes their dad kept of the women in his life to their rightful owners. Children of divorce, they need to understand what makes their dad tick and how he treated their mothers in order to understand about relationships and not make the same mistakes.
While it is the story of the sisters, it is also the story of several of their dad's girlfriends, why they fell for him, how he hurt them and how they recovered, if they did. Caletti pounds into the reader that girls/women must look at the inner being, both theirs and a man's, in order to find love. Looks and personality alone are not enough.
While The Secret Life of Prince Charming does get a little preachy, it provides a lesson that must be learned and does it in the form of an enjoyable and unique story. It's is definitely worth the read.
