Book Review: Unlikely Places

(the amazon version of the book cover was the only one I could find that was a good size, which is why it says "Click to look inside." Sorry about that)
Summary: (I read this a month or two ago, so sorry if the review is a bit fuzzy) If you ask Nicki Thompson (or Nicole, as it says on the cover) what this book is about, she'll immediately respond "Fairy princesses." And that's a good answer. Thought this particular book happens to be about a fairy princess trying to juggle schoolwork at college, get over her hatred of a certain Deirdre, while quoting everything related to pop culture and dealing with a character's cheese addiction.
If you haven't guessed after the above sentence, Unlikely Places is about Satrina, a fairy princess who decides to leave her world and her family to go to college. Is that a good choice? Maybe not, considering all her newly acquired roommates and friends (including Maeve, a bubbly girl who tends to obsess over everything, and loves pink, and Zoe, the smart one who happens to have EVERYTHING ANYONE WOULD EVER NEED, batteries not included) seem to think she's from Farm Planet and tease her about not knowing what anything they're referencing is, something I can relate to all too much. (*Cough cough*)
But she soon starts getting along with this wild cast of characters, and all is well, until DEIRDRE arrives
Deirdre is a fairy from the other world, the fairies that are the enemies of the kingdom Satrina lives in. She happens to be going to the same college and is dating a friend of Satrina's, so she's pretty hard to avoid (that's right, right? In my fuzziness, I didn't just not realize that Maeve dating Deirdre is inccorect, did I? Did that sentence make sense?).
Anyway, I won't spoil whether the two enemies become friends, or whether Satrina starts going out with a certain Luke Skywalker (fine, not Skywalker, but Luke) or whether they all go on a fabulous adventure in the end, with the traveling between worlds and procrastination and cheese and mustaches! Okay, maybe not mustaches, but all the rest applies.
Opinion: The book was amusing. At certain points I got a bit confused about what was going on, but all in all I suggest this as a fun read (not fun as in light and insignificant, fun as in fun. Come on people, don't you know the meaning of the word?)
