VBT# There's Something About Nik - Sara Hantz
Review: There's Something about Nik - Sara Hantz - February 2017
I have to admit that I am a little torn with this review
as I was in two minds with Sara Hantz's new book.
There's Something about Nik. First off, I was excited to read this as something
that I have always loved is when royalty or someone famous goes undercover and lately, I have been on a royalty kick with
books. The other thing is I normally love these stories as they are like
Cinderella tales. There's Something about Nik had these qualities as Nik is a
Prince from a small country in Europe. He has come to America undercover as a
high school student to experience life in an American boarding school and has
been staying and will be rooming with Josh who is family friends with the
Royals. The book does also have the Cinderella ending with Amber falling in
love for now with Nik as remember it's still a teen novel, no marriages yet. Now to the part that made me struggle
reading There's Something about Nik - the characters of Amber and Nik which by
the way are the main two leads in the book,
so of course you can feel my frustration as I wanted to love this book, but I
couldn't. Nik which I do understand is used to
his royal servants and the people below him and accustomed to a different
lifestyle, so it only made sense that he came across pompous but Amber, she was
the one that ruined it for me as she was so freaking irritating as her hate for
Nik basically radiated off the page. I found the everyday interactions between
Amber and Nik to be so awkward even for my reading pleasure. I do have
to admit, though, that I think if I had
been younger and hadn't been exposed to
this storyline in multiple stages and books - I might not be this jaded about
the book and who knows I might have loved it to pieces. Overall, I think this particular book "There's Something about
Nik" by Sara Hantz is aimed and
suitable for teens aged 14-18 years, rather than my 29 years.
