Memoir of an American wannabe Royal Princess, funny and
charming.
Snow White meets Bridget Jones in the hilarious true
story of a girl who is more than a little bit determined to
live happily-ever-after… Jerramy Fine wants to be a princess. At age 6, she announces
that she is going to meet and marry the Queen of England’s
grandson and even as she gets older, not once does she
change her mind! But growing up with hippie parents in the
middle of a rodeo-loving farm town makes finding her prince
a bigger challenge than Jerramy ever bargained for. How can
she prepare to lead a royal life when she’s surrounded by
nothing but tofu and tractors? Jerramy spends her lonely childhood writing love-letters to
Buckingham Palace, and years later, when her sense of
destiny finally brings her to London, she dives head first
into a whirlwind of champagne-fuelled society parties in
search of her royal soul mate. She drinks way too many
martinis and kisses far too many Hugh Grant look-a-likes,
but life in England is not the Disney fairytale she hoped it
would be. Her flatmates are lunatics, London is expensive,
and British boys (despite their cute accents) are
infuriating. Sure, she’s rubbing shoulders with Princess
Anne, Earl Spencer and the Duchess of York – but will she
ever meet her prince?
