Camp Couselor Stephen chatted to the amazing B. Wheeler about her upcoming book How NOT to Kiss a Prince (out 6/11) and her fairytale inspirations!
We already got to listen to a sneak peek of the book during Camp YA in the Fireside Reads and now we get to know a lot more behind B. Wheeler’s inspiration.
Brimming with charm, cheekiness and heart, How NOT to Kiss a Prince is a sapphic romantic comedy that flips fairytale tropes on their head. Set in a world where curses are as real as crushes, this vibrant YA debut explores friendship, identity, magic, and the messy beauty of first love.
How NOT to Kiss a Prince is will be published by Hashtag Press and is out on the 6th of November.
Thank you to B. Wheeler for answering our questions!
