The Swedish Prince by Karina Halle

3.0

I liked this more than I was expecting. The premise is naturally absurd, but really well executed. Halle nails the emotional nuances and differing reactions to grief. The story is a gender flipped, expanded retelling of Roman Holiday with Maggie as the down on her luck reporter (here a former journalism school student who dropped out to care for her younger siblings in small prison-town California) and Viktor the crown prince of Sweden as Audrey Hepburn.
