Cover Interview with Kristina Springer

I’m excited to welcome Kristina Springer, author of Just Your Average Princess, to the blog today. She is answering some questions about the super cute cover of her new book.

How well does the cover suit your story?

I really like the girl on the cover. She seems just like my Jamie in the story with the carefree look and fun attitude. And the farm thing comes across in the cover too. Though I admit, at first, I didn't really get the hay thing since Jamie grew up on a pumpkin patch but it's cute how she's sitting up on the hay roll.

 

What was your first thought when you saw the final cover?

I thought, "this is so cute!"

 

Were you able to provide any input when it came to the design?

Nope. They sent me the cover just as you see it now. If I had hated it I could have asked for changes but luckily I loved it! 

Does the model fit the image you have of Jamie in your head?

Totally! The Jamie in my head had more light brown hair but this girl is really close.

 

If you could change anything about the cover what would it be?

Maybe get some pumpkins in there somewhere. Jamie's family own a huge, amazing pumpkin patch so that would have been cool to show something from there.

 

Is there anything else you would like to share?

Just that I also love how they did the lettering in the title. So cute!

Description via Goodreads:


Jamie Edwards has loved everything about growing up on a pumpkin patch, but ever since her cousin Milan Woods arrived, things have really stunk. Jamie can’t imagine it was easy for Milan to leave her life back in Los Angeles and move to Average, Illinois, population one thousand. But it’s kind of hard to feel sorry for her since (a) Milan’s drop-dead gorgeous; (b) she’s the daughter of two of Hollywood’s hottest film stars; (c) she’s captured the attention of everyone in town, including Danny, Jamie’s crush since forever; and (d) she’s about to steal the title of Pumpkin Princess right out from underneath Jamie!


My thoughts:


I started this book after dinner one evening and managed to finish it in the matter of just a couple of hours. It was such a quick and cute read! The dialogue contained a generous amount of wit and snark. As a fan of both, it heightened my enjoyment of Just Your Average Princess even more. I really enjoyed Kristina Springer’s style of writing as well as the cast of characters she created in Just Your Average Princess. 

Jamie’s country girl innocence was a nice change of pace from other main characters I’ve encountered recently. It also created quite a few funny (at times just straight up awkward) moments between her and her worldly cousin, Milan. The meat of the story revolved around why Milan was sent to Average, Illinois to work at Jamie’s dad’s pumpkin patch, and why Milan seemed hell-bent on making Jamie feel beneath her. I was quick to pick up on Milan’s jealousy of Jamie’s normal life even though Just Your Average Princess's MC was oblivious. As for the reason Milan is sent to small town USA.  You’ll have to read to find out.

Just Your Average Princess is a great book to pick up this time of year. With the pumpkin patch in fall setting it will definitely help get readers in the mood for autumn festivities.
