It must be kind of strange to read a book about how someone organized their entire early life around the idea of meeting and marrying you. But I doubt that Peter Phillips (currently eleventh in line for the British throne) has read this book anyway. And Jerramy Fine has written this book with such grace and humor that if he did read it, he would probably find himself captivated by her adventures rather than embarrassed by being the focus of them.

The one flaw of this book is that the end comes too soon! Once Jerramy is able to find closure on her royal aspirations, we jump straight to her current successful relationship. But how did she find her wonderful boyfriend? I wanted more of the success story after hearing all of the woes.

Overall, though, this was a highly enjoyable and fun read.

All small town misfit Anglophile nerdy girls should read this one. Ms. Jerramy Fine is living the dream! She is so ridiculous for so long, but she keeps her eyes on the prize and then suddenly she's making out with hot British royalty in a windmill while dressed as Grace Kelly. EXCELLENT!

My name means princess, so a book about a woman who has never grown out of wanting to become a princess is right up my alley. Jerramy Fine not only wanted to be a princess, she went and picked out her prince when she was 6 years old. Then she learned all about royal manners and customs, in a sort of self-study Princess School. Jerramy's tale of the quest for Prince Charming doesn't have the fairy tale ending I was rooting for, but I still loved it.

This book was so inspiring and cute! I loved her style of writing and the humor she used to tell her story. While her goals sometimes seemed completely ridiculous I couldn't help but root for her!

“Someday My Prince Will Come” is a true-life story about a girl who has the courage to purse her childhood dreams.
Jerramy Fine grew up wanting to be a princess. Born in Colorado to hippie parents that named her a boy’s name, she takes the reader through her hippie, farm town childhood. She feeds chickens and never really fits in at school for her royal ways. At the age of six she picks her husband, Princess Anne’s son, Peter Phillips. She even writes letters to Peters in care of Buckingham Palace.
Fine grows up planning her life around going to England and fitting in among royalty. While most girls grow out of Disney fairy tales (her parents never allowed her to watch) she holds on to her dreams. She travels to London for grad-school, meets Princess Anne, and Earl Spencer. She spends a holiday in India has struggles with flat-mates, expenses of London, and dating.
Fine’s insensitivity to her parents and small town did become a little tiresome half way through the book. At times she sounded a little naïve in romance and men but she kept the story flowing with her humorist voice and dramatic adventures.
Jerramy Fine’s memoir is a very light and funny read. I found it refreshing to read a memoir that wasn’t all doom and gloom. She is witty and entertaining. I found myself laughing out loud many times. I admire Fine for her determination and endurance setting out and staying true to her goals.
