Product Description:
A hilarious screwball fairytale about a small-town girl who dreams of finding love with a real-life English prince
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 toddler, Jerramy finds Peter Phillips (the Queen’s oldest grandson) in a royal family tree when she is only six years old, and decides immediately that he will be her future husband.
But growing up with hippie parents (who gave her a boy’s name!) in the middle of a rodeo-loving farm town makes finding her prince a much bigger challenge than Jerramy ever bargained for. She spends her childhood writing love-letters to Peter c/o Buckingham Palace, and years later, when her sense of destiny finally brings her to London, she must navigate the murky waters of English social circles, English etiquette and English dating. Along the way, she meets Princess Anne (Peter’s mother), befriends Earl Spencer, and parties with the Duchess of York. Yet life is not the Hugh Grant movie she hoped it would be. Her flatmates are lunatics, London is expensive, and English boys can be infuriating. But just when she thinks it might be time to give up and return to America, Peter magically appears in her life.
Someday My Prince Will Come is a hilarious and heartwarming true story about following your heart and having the courage to pursue your childhood dream no matter how impossible it seems.

`Someday My Prince Will Come: True Adventures Of A Wannabe Princess' is the enchanting story of a young women growing up and discovering who she is. The book chronicles the ups and downs that the main character, Jerramy must go through in order to discover the truth about who she is, the person her soul identifies with.
I found the story to be incredibly inspirational and touching. The theme of the story is to never give up your dreams, a testament to following them and the gifts that you can receive in doing so. `Someday My Prince Will Come: True Adventures Of A Wannabe Princess' is absolutely a page turner, I read the entire novel in just two days, quite a feat for myself.
Not only was the story fun and uplifting but every young adult can identify with some of the central themes: feeling overwhelmed by college loans, being on your own for the very first time and seeking true love. Another fun aspect of the novel were all of the interesting facts about London that are sprinkled throughout the book. Jerramy Fine does an amazing job weaving fact and fiction to create an amusing, inspirational and moving book.
A story for the young and young of heart, I recommend this novsel to anyone feeling like they don't belong and looking to find out who they are.

Ms. Fine has a fantastically self-effacing sense of humor. The contrast between her upbringing and her desires could not be a more charming contradiction. I bought the book on a whim and read it in one sitting that same day. For anyone who secretly desires fame or dreams of a charmed life, this book has a double gift of showing that a charmed life is what you create for yourself, not necessarily what lands in your lap. And clearly Ms. Fine captures the sense that she has enjoyed the pursuit of a dream and all that unexpectedly unfolds because of it.
The brilliance lies in the premise being at once so absurd and simultaneously believably possible -- and with that it is the true stuff of fairy tales. But of the best possible kind. The real kind.

Miss Fine's book was a wonderful read and a true testament to the hardships of following a dream against all odds. I wished for a happier ending (she should have gotten the man, not that Canadian girl).
The only thing I can say is "great job Miss Fine", and wonder if a matrimonial agency for aristocrats might be in your future business plans???

I like to vary my reading diet, and this was a great bite in the chick-lit buffet. It was fun, honest and humorous -- keeping me glued till the end. For someone who's looking for a story to keep you happily distracted, this is the book for you. Jerramy Fine was extremely focused and dedicated to her dream, which is always refreshing. I finished it with a smile.

I was very impressed with Jerramy's honesty of her story and her ability to laugh at herself. She writes with such intelligence and wit while telling her story that it makes it difficult to put down the book as it left me wondering what was going to happen next. I found it very easy to relate to her story and her desire for something more. I also grew up in a small town in Colorado and found myself reliving my childhood as she spoke about county fairs, pick-up trucks with rifles hanging on the gun rack. I know exactly what she was talking about when she describes moving to a new, strange city where you expect so much right away. I also loved reading about the different men she was interested in and I'm glad to know that I'm not the only girl in the world who didn't get that call after the "perfect evening"! Haha!
Thank you, Jerramy, for sharing your wonderful story!
