*Now including bonus chapter, "Princes Don't Bake."
A fairy tale romance with a plus-sized heroine and plenty of dessert.
Princess Valeria of Amaranta is fat, but she doesn’t care. All she wants to do is to eat and lead an idle life. When it becomes apparent she cannot get a husband, her mother decides to send her to the Royal Riviera Academy of Fighting Arts. For a chubby princess who has never picked up a sword, life at the Academy is torture. Worst of all, the food is terrible.
Valeria decides to improve Rivieran cuisine by sneaking into the palace kitchens and offering her expertise, never expecting the crown prince would take interest in her kitchen excursions. As they spend more time together, the princess must decide whether she should become thin or stay in the kitchens with her beloved desserts and remain fat.
Princesses Don't Get Fat edition by Aya Ling Children eBooks
full disclosure: weight has been a life-long struggle for me, so I may be slightly more sensitive about this topic than the average readerBut because of that very struggle, I thought I'd really enjoy this story, where the princess is not a willowy young women. Instead, we are told about how Valeria is stuffing her face with cream puffs (and thankfully her hair is in a braid, so it doesn't drag through the mess), her buttons are popping off, heels are breaking, and she waddles.
Sure, she ends up with a nice guy at the end, but that happy ending does not justify all the "humor" that is just plain demeaning.

Princesses Don't Get Fat edition by Aya Ling Children eBooks Reviews
There was a good book here somewhere, but what could have been a strong story about accepting people for who they are became almost a story about shaming someone for who they are. Valeria's personality was rather shallow and everyone around her was one-dimensional. Valeria doesn't have character traits beyond liking food or any flaws beyond being fat and a little spoiled.
In this story its just a bunch of cliche to me. I felt like the story had some real potential but I felt like it was rushed Aya Ling is definitely a great author with great concepts. I believe she needs to work on her follow through and the building of the relationship. I mean I get that this is YA but even in YA they share a kiss. This is not a children's story and I got the impression that I was reading one. I did like that we were reading a story about a plus sized princess there are not many plus sized books or plus sized princesses for that matter. Aya Ling did not make this story believable how the two came together in the end is beyond me because it doesn't even seem like they should be. I liked how she was respectfully defiant there are some great times when she could have been like oh they will bond here and she just completely missed the opportunity.
I liked this book. I thought it was nicely written and was an easy read. My reasons for only giving it 4 stars are as follows. 1. It was to short. It needed a little more book to develop the characters more. 2. The fat princess schtik was overdone. We get it. She was fat. Very fat. Am I the only person worried about this characters health? And I kept thinking that as soon as she gets older she will enjoy life less as she has trouble getting around at those weights. 3. The whole thing where she has to taste everything in the kitchen. Can we assume that Pat is the royal chef for a reason and is somewhat intelligent? Ok. So He learns. He tastes. He writes down recipes. He doesn't need the main character in the kitchen for every single thing to taste it before it is served.
I will be reading more from this author. I liked her writing style.
Disappointed. I really shouldn't have given it a 3 star but I loved your other book (The Ugly Step Sister) so much I did. So consider the extra star a pity star.
I kept hoping it would get better but it just didn't. I stuck it out for that reason. I'm not even going to bother writing why because if I had read the reviews (like I should have apparently)If I had, I would have seen that a lot of people didn't like it. And this one review by Tah Dah says it better then I could

Very Very Disappointed. I was hoping for him to come to her rescue on the weight subject, for her to learn not to call herself fat and try and just be healthy and accept herself. I wanted him to love and compliment and even talk about her curves and show her that there are many people that appreciate diversity. I ask Aya Ling and anyone else reading this to read Fairest by Gail Carson Levine. She handles it beautifully. (I remember it even years later and enjoyed it) .
Princess Something-or-other from Amaranta is a big girl who doesn’t want to exercise or pretty much do anything except eat. Her mother sends her to train at a faraway land where she kind of exercises but mostly sticks to what she knows and strikes up a friendship with Prince Ralph. There’s some romance but mostly alot of eating.
The Good, The Bad and Everything In Between
-It’s a freebie on , which is always a good thing. Also, it's fairly quick read, under 140 pgs, so no big time investment.
-It’s a BBW fairy tale...no really an actual fairy tale with princes and princesses.
-All foodies welcome The dessert descriptions are strong with this one, and I’ll remember the food long after I’ve forgotten the romance. Speaking of...
-Romance was very mild It’s kisses (ok, maybe one kiss?) and it’s more of a payoff kind of romance instead of the focal point through the story. It’s more about Princess something-or-other accepting herself and everyone else learning to like it or lump it. I liked that particular message, but...
-Struggling to remember and I just read it Unfortunately, it didn’t make much of an impression. I wasn’t a fan of the heroine, the hero seemed kind of cute but not very well defined. However I do know how to fix cheesecakes and salvage cake mishaps if that were to ever occur.
The Bottom Line
Meh. Pleasant enough fairy tale like read but didn’t really hold my interest, because while I may like to eat food I’m not big on reading about it. Between that and the fact that the romance was mild at best, I can’t say that this book worked for me. But if you want a very clean, fairy tale like story about princesses and princes and lots o’ food, this may work for you.
