Goodreads Summary: "The ideal L.A. fairy tale for fans of Once Upon a Time and L.A. Candy, from the author of Geek Charming.Sophie Greene gets good grades, does the right thing, and has a boyfriend that her parents— and her younger brother—just love. (Too bad she doesn’t love him.) Sophie dreams of being more like Devon Deveraux, star of her favorite romance novels, but, in reality, Sophie isn’t even daring enough to change her nail polish. All of that changes when Sophie goes to Florida to visit her grandma Roz, and she finds herself seated next to a wolfishly goodlooking guy on the plane. The two hit it off, and before she knows it, Sophie’s living on the edge. But is the drama all it’s cracked up to be?"

This was the first book I read by Robin Palmer. I've seen the Disney Channel movie Geek Charming, and attempted to read the novel, but wasn't into it at the time. After reading Little Miss Red, I expect to go back to it.
Robin Palmer's writing is just so fun, girly, and light! I absolutely loved Little Miss Red. Not only that, but who doesn't love the cover art?! Sparkles, sparkles, sparkles, and lots of nice, bright colours. Robin Palmer definitely has a knack for writing, and I feel that I relate her to be very similar to others authors like Lisi Harrion, although less shallow, and with more substance to her books. The lessons in Palmer's books are always very easily recognizable, and can be related to people of any age.
Little Miss Red started out fast-paced, and didn't let go. I enjoyed the storyline, and found it to be quick and to the point. You really see how much Sophie grows throughout the novel, realizing more and more what was really going on, and that life on the wild side isn't always so picture perfect, and doesn't always have a fairy-tale ending.
The only part of the book I didn't really like, was how much Sophie continually talked about her obsession with Devon from her favorite novels and how much she used her as a way make excuses for actions and decisions she would make. Over and over, at least every two pages... "just like how Devon in *insert book title here*". Talk about annoying.
