My Opinion:
I really loved this book. It was something totally different. Trolls xD haha So awesome. Liked the new idea about them being trolls. Even though they looked like pretty people. :)
But all in all this story had me hooked from page 1. And things happened all the time.
And even though there where moments that was slower.. You just continued to read, because you fell in love with the characters. Yeap not character but characters :) I was not so fond of the main character. But there are several cute boys in this story :P And they totally won me over.
I couldn´t really make up my mind which boy I though she should hook up with. I hoped all of them xD But that wouldn´t be an opportunity xD haha
I gave this book 6 out of 6 stars

And I am super excited to get to read the sequels. Mainly because it´s well written and I wanna know what will happen etc.. But I really want to read more about these cute guys, and I need to know who she will end up with :P So yeap.. I already pre-ordered my copies of both the sequels :D YaY
