Someday My Prince Will Come: True Adventures of a Wannabe Princess by Jerramy Fine
3.0
I was turned on to Jerramy Fine by my cousin who felt I should read her book, since I'm a librarian and also grew up in a small Colorado town, though I never thought I was long-lost royalty.
I enjoy reading about people, women especially, who have a goal and find a way to achieve what they desire, even if it's a longshot.
What I didn't enjoy so much was Ms. Fine's whiny-at-times voice. There were several moments throughout the memoir in which I was rolling my eyes and I felt I could never connect with a person like her. She really did come across as having a princess complex and that is not a compliment.
However, after having listened to her give a talk on her book, I felt (hoped) that much of what she penned about her life, thus far, was meant to be taken with a sense of humor, some patience and a grain of salt. She was not nearly so irritating in person.
The most ironic aspect of the memoir, to me, was that while she professed to be educating herself in the ways of the upper crust, she still wrote like she came straight from the little hick town where she'd been raised.
All in all, I enjoyed the book, though it probably won't be first in the pile of books I insist my friends read.
