About the Book
Every girl dreams of living happily ever after with her Prince—but how do you tell a Prince from a Frog? This book follows four girls—Natalie, Meghan, Ella and Elizabeth—through their relationships, as they gain the information and skills to determine if the guy they’re with is the right guy for them.
Healthy relationship criteria will help you make better choices—whether it’s choosing a boyfriend, or choosing whether to stay in a relationship or exit—and help you figure out other important stuff, like whether or not your guy loves you. They'll help you deal with things that come up in relationships, such as a boyfriend not making enough time for you, flirting with other girls, or cheating on you.

Kaycee Jane has written a fun, relatable book that reminds us all that we have to find the princess in ourselves before we can find our prince. Although all our relationships may not have fairytale endings, Jane shows how to avoid common missteps along the way. JESS WEINER, SELF-ESTEEM EXPERT and Author of “A Very Hungry Girl,” and “Life Doesn’t Begin 5 Pounds from Now”
In her book "Frog or Prince", Kaycee Jane sends a critical message to young women, young men and the caring adults who guide them - self-knowledge and self-respect is a prerequisite for entering into a healthy dating relationship. At a time when young people are being bombarded by media and popular culture that celebrate the image of the "frog", it is more important than ever to figure out what social behaviour is acceptable and unacceptable to you as a proud individual. Life is not a fairytale but happy-endings are possible when you think things through with eyes wide open.
