How to Find a Princess
by Alyssa Cole
3.5 stars. A fun story of finding who you are and how you fit into your family.
Makeda has spent most of her life trying to avoid having discussions with her family about her possible royal blood after having her mother spiral into obsession about proving her heritage. Then an investigator shows up, determined to force Makeda to go to Ibarania and take the ceremonial crown. This would let Beznaria clear her family's name. Due to a threat to Makeda's grandmother's livelihood, Makeda eventually agrees to go to Ibarania. However, Beznaria doesn't have plane tickets booked; she has passage on a ship full of quirky characters and a requirement for her and Makeda to pretend they're on their honeymoon.
I really enjoyed the cast of characters in this book, especially the ship's crew. They were extremely loveable and I wish we could get to know them a bit better. Makeda and Beznaria are both a bit harder to understand. Although I can understand their motives at times, I struggled with them both talking about the need for open communication while simultaneously lying to each other. I do think they both helped each other grow as individuals, though.
If you've enjoyed the other contemporary royal romances Alyssa Cole has written, I think you'll like this one too! I liked seeing the bits of connections to others stories that we got to see. And I definitely want AK's story as soon as possible.
Thank you to NetGalley and Avon for providing an advanced copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
