Someday My Prince Will Come: True Adventures of a Wannabe Princess » (Reprint)

Born in 1977, Jeramy Fine grew up in western Colorado, attended the University of Rochester, and completed her master's at the London School of Economics and Political Science. She now lives with her English boyfriend. He's not royal, but she forgives him.

The charming story of a small-town girl who dreams of finding love with a real-life English prince—and who's willing to go to hilarious lengths to make her fairy tale come true

Most young girls dream of becoming a princess. But unlike most girls, Jerramy Fine never grew out of it. Strangely drawn to the English royal family since she was a child, Jerramy spends her childhood writing love letters to Buckingham Palace and absorbing any information she can find on modern-day princesses throughout the world. Years later, when her sense of destiny finally brings her to London, Jerramy navigates the murky waters of English social circles, etiquette, and dating with hilarious results.

Library Journal

In this entertaining memoir, American-born but London-based writer Fine writes about her obsession with England and the English royal family. The book begins with her childhood struggles with hippie parents in small-town Colorado and then traces her determined steps from undergraduate life in Rochester, NY, to London, where she tenaciously pursues her quest to ensnare the Queen's oldest grandson, Peter Philips. Fine's writing is full of a witty and self-deprecating sense of humor. She openly shares her struggles in matching her dreams to reality. This is paralleled by the writing style, which cleverly mixes fairytale twists and girly preoccupations with London's gray realism. A strong and vivid character develops through heart-wrenching romantic encounters with British aristocracy, frustrations with the bureaucracy around living in a foreign country, tales of nightmare flatmates, and Fine's sincere questioning of her unshakable life goals.
