Book Information
France 2000: Two babies are born on the same day just two hours apart - but to very different lives. Isabella is a Princess and heir to the French throne, while Sophia is born into a life of poverty and abuse at the hands of her father. At the age of 18, Sophia runs away from home. That same night, Isabella is also fleeing from the burden of her royal life when she finds Sophia slumped at the palace gates. Amazed by how alike they look, Isabella proposes a daring plot - to exchange their lives for one week.
‘The Pretender’ is an emotionally intense and compelling story of friendship, love and the strange power of destiny.

My Review
4☆ Enchanting Warm Read
The Pretender is an enchanting warm read.
I love the cover it's simply gorgeous.
Sophia has just turned 18, set to leave Boarding School to return home. Most children can't wait to get home, but Sophia is the opposite.
Her Dad is violently abusive to her and her sister. She had an awful childhood and suffered terrible abuse.
Princess Isabella is also turning 18 on the same day. She is a real Princess with the life of luxury. But she isn't happy. She longs for a touch of normality.
What do Sophia and Princess Isabella have in common??
They are pretty much identical!
To find out how and what will happen to the two girls you definitely need to read it!
I really liked that this story combines light hearted with serious issues such as child abuse. Katie has handled the sensitive subjects with sensitivity but still makes a powerful impact.
This a wonderful story of two worlds colliding, finding oneself, romance, coming of age, family, drama and friendship.
The plot is enchanting and flowed along perfectly. The characters were engaging and very well written.
This is definitely a charming feel good read that you can snuggle up with and get lost in for a few hours.
I think this is definitely a suitable read for those who enjoy YA, New Adult and Contemporary Fiction.
I'm looking forward to reading more from Katie Ward.

Author Bio
Katie Ward always knew she wanted to write for a living. However, she was told by her careers advisor that “it might be more appropriate for you to work in a shop”. When Katie didn’t get the grades she needed to get into college, she negotiated a three month trial. After successfully completing the course she secured a place at her first choice university to study Journalism.
After realising she wanted to be an author, Katie moved to Dublin where she worked her way up from receptionist to Executive Assistant at Merrill Lynch. Katie continued to write in her spare time, submitting her short story into the “Do the Write Thing” competition being run by Irish TV show ‘Seoige and O’Shea’. This story was originally written when Katie was 14 after she was inspired by an article in her favourite teen magazine. Katie was the only non-Irish author selected to have her story published in an anthology of the same name which reached 19 in the Irish Best sellers List. Katie was also shortlisted for a competition judged by MAN Booker Prize winning author Roddy Doyle which was run by Metro Eireann newspaper.
Katie currently lives in Devon with her cat (aka ‘Her Royal Fluffiness’) where she sings in a community choir and has recently taken up Archery. Katie’s favourite author has been Roald Dahl since she was a child as she loves the dark edge he brings to his books. On the flip side though, Katie loves Disney, magic, unicorns and a good rom com film at the cinema with her friends.
