A Prince on Paper by Alyssa Cole
4.0
Alyssa Cole is another new author for me, and one whose writing style I really enjoy. She’s got a great way of bringing characters to life and giving them plenty of depth. I listened to the first half of this book on audio and then switched to ebook to finish it, and the story and characters flew off the page in both.
I related a lot to Nya, especially her big dreams and desires for “life to begin” only to feel like she’s on the outside a lot of the time. She is returning to her home country of Thesolo from her time living in New York, where she expected her life to be glamorous and filled with friends but was actually filled with loneliness. She feels like she’s constantly waiting for her life to begin.
I thought everything about Johan aka Prince Jojo was so well done. The emotional depth he has that’s hidden from everyone, even the younger half-brother he loves so much, because he wants to protect himself from being hurt by someone who he cares too much for. It was brilliant.
I wish I would have started with book 1 in the series because I think both characters are featured in previous books, but I was able to get to know them and their friends and enjoy this as a standalone.
Also, her calling a penis an "eggplant emoji" made me LOL multiple times
