Someday My Prince Will Come: True Adventures of a Wannabe Princess by Jerramy Fine

3.0

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.
