I wrote a short review of A World Without Princes but the even shorter version is that Chainani tried to write an allegory on gender, and he's a chauvinistic, gender essentialist, transphobic ass.
Ella Enchanted was the first book by her I read. My grandmother loves it. It's how I got her into YA.
The "Hey, we're not that bad so we're all right" is extremely common, and I think you're dead on about its effect on what movies get made.
