It was an interesting read and pretty funny, or I probably wouldn't have kept reading, because she's kind of a snob.

Jerramy Fine's story is nothing new: feeling like you were born into the wrong family and an overwhelming aspirations of greatness. However, what sets this book apart from dozens of others like it is the humor and the determination on the part of the author to meet and marry a member of London's royal family. I loved this book- the descriptions of Fine's hippie family compared to her love of all things British and royal were hilarious. Also, you have to give the author props for her sheer determination. It was wonderful- a great summer read!

Much like most people who find this book, I grew up near Miss Fine. I don't know her, but met her little brother a few times. I am sorta shocked that someone would admit to being so self centered and delusional. I love England and have a small amount of respect for her ability to get herself there, but in short she comes across as a horrible person who only cares about herself.

I have no idea how to feel about this book. I wanted to enjoy it but I think it needed to be a fictional story. As a true memoir, it just felt like I had gotten into the mind of a girl who's right on the edge of sanity but not in a fun way.

Likely to induce jealousy, for sure, but it was nice to read about someone pursuing her dreams, no matter how farfetched. Funny, silly, and entertaining.

Jerramy Fine grew up believing in her heart that she was a princess and bound to marry Peter Mark Andrew Phillips. Peter is one of the grandsons of the Queen of England. Jerramy always believed that she was somehow switched at birth. I mean, what princess would want to live with a family who farmed, wore second hand clothing and expected her to deal. Jerramy couldn’t wait till the day came when the royal family would realize she was missing.

As Jerramy grew up; she was plotting how to make her way to England, especially hoping to catch the eye of Peter, her love. Jerramy begs her family to send her away to boarding school. This is uncommon, when most girls her age would not want to be sent away. Will Jerramy and Peter have a happy ending?

I had such a fun time reading this book. Jerramy’s accounts of her growing up with a hippie family in the middle of no where’s ville was hilarious. Even at such a young age, Jerramy knew exactly what she wanted and she was not afraid to pursue her goals. I will say goals and not dreams because to Jerramy…marrying a prince and being claimed as part of the royal family was a reality to her. I liked that Jerramy could poke fun at herself in this book. Someday My Prince will Come does not read like a memoir. The first word that comes to my mind when I think of memoirs is …boring. I can assure you that this memoir was fun, upbeat, and a pure delight to read. I hope that Jerramy writes another novel.

I don't really care for books where I can barely keep up with the men the narrator dates and then we don't even get to know the one with whom she ends up.

I am so glad to finish this book. I bought almost 6 years ago! While I can't believe that it sat on my TBR shelf for that long I'm glad I waited that long to read the book because I would not have read it the way I did now than had I read it when I was 19 or 20.

The idea of a girl set on marrying a prince sounds like a really cute, fun read... until you realize that this is non-fiction. These events actually happened and for some reason this changed the book for me. It wasn't this fun romance that I thought it would be. Jerramy was this girl who was so unaware of her privlege and never seemed thankful for anything and never seemed to enjoy a moment that I had a hard time liking her or rooting for her.

Initially, I saw this story as one of a girl who sets her sights on a goal and works so diligently towards it. Eventually though, she's 25 years old and in loads of student debt (aren't we all?) and struggling to make ends meet. That's all fine and well but the narrative showed this as a non-issue for quite some time. I had a hard time respecting her because of this. There were honestly times in the book where I wondered why someone didn't suggest a psych eval!

The story has a nice ending and it solved some of my issues with the book, but not enough to earn it another star. I gave it 3 stars because it was written well and Jerramy did a nice job of showing the cultural aspects of the upper class of England and I really liked that.
