Summary: Don't judge a book by the cover.
Comment: I was so disappointed with this book. I bought it for a book discussion group some ladies in my church were doing. I found this to be very light-weight reading, and it didn't do much in the way of edifying me in my Christian walk. If you want to read about how much God loves you, there are many, many other much better books out there - try the Bible. I'm sorry I wasted the money on this book.

Summary: I really wanted to like this book...
Comment: I really wanted to like this book, but it just fell short. I expected to be uplifted and encouraged. I wanted to be left believing that purity of heart was possible in this world of disappointment, discouragement, and sin. Nicole's book didn't do that for me. Any truth or practical application becomes buried beneath the constant references to princesses, usually of the Disney variety. I agree with the other reviewer who said that the "Princess" theme becomes tiresome after the first few chapters. I'd go farther and say it even becomes forced...as if the author knows there is promise and possibility in her theme, but the idea doesn't become fully realized. As for the tone, I think that in this book, the author never really hit her stride, and that's why the tone is a little off. And in the "you can't judge a book by its cover" category, I must say that the cover itself is uplifting and delightful, with its satiny feel, glowing colors, and cherubic "princess." Whoever designed it captured the essence of what I think a "princess heart" must be. Unfortunately, the book never quite succeeds at doing the same thing. Nicole is otherwise a talented performer and on-the-mark author. I only hope that she doesn't abandon this theme, but finds a way to help it come to fruition in further works. I want to keep my princess heart! But, alas, I've already gotten rid of the book. A book along the same lines that truly succeeds at achieving its point is "Do You Think I'm Beautiful?" by Angela Thomas. Don't let the title throw you...it's an encouraging read for any woman.

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: This book was not at all what I expected. I agree with the reviewer who said that the author uses a lofty tone just for the sake of being lofty. This is the first book of Nicole Johnson's I've read, so I don't have anything to compare it to. I thought the idea of a princess heart had a lot of potential, but I got tired of the whole princess thing very quickly. I had a hard time finishing this book and found myself thinking "Come on, get to the point already."
