Genre: YA Contemporary Fantasy

Synopsis:
At 900 years old, Nissa is finally ready to follow her mother's path and become the best Fairy Godmother she can. She’s not thrilled when her first assignment turns out to be a teenage human girl with self-esteem issues, but she knows she has to start somewhere. Her  assignment has dealt with bullies since her freshman year and they haven’t let up. If Nissa can’t help her regain her self-confidence her  future is bleak.

To complicate matters Nissa experiences all the signs that she's met the being fated for her. This impossibility distracts her from her purpose. After all, fairies and humans aren't meant for each other. How can her heart believe otherwise? Can Nissa successfully complete her first assignment as a Fairy Godmother? Will the fates allow Nissa and Levi to be together? And even if they do, will Levi believe Nissa once she reveals the truth?

My Review:
My first impression was that it was cool to train fairy godmothers. I also thought that it was funny that Nissa had to go back to high school to get her Godchild. Of course there is always drama in high school and this story is no different. Of course Nissa would be attracted to someone, I just didn't think that it would be her godchild's brother. There are also bullies that cause trouble for Nissa and Vicky. There was plenty of teenage drama in this book, and a few times I had to laugh. I also hoped against all odds that Levi and Nissa would be allowed to break the rules and be together.
I did not expect the end, and definitely hope there is a sequel. I wish I had Nissa when I was in high school!
I am giving this book a 4/5 because I don't think that I will ever have the desire to reread it. Although I am really looking forward to more by this author.
