Better than the others, but still not a book I loved

A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole

May 29, 2020 by Malin 1 Comment

3.5 stars Naledi “Ledi” Smith’s parents died when she was very little, and she was shuffled through a series of foster homes her entire childhood. She learned to rely on no one but herself. When she keeps getting persistent e-mails about some African country named Thesolo and how she’s the crown prince’s intended, she obviously assumes that these communications are spam and deletes them all.

I was standing in the book section of my local Walmart having a revelation about how Trump became President when A Princess in Theory jumped out at me like a life line. I grabbed it in hopes that Alyssa Cole will become Walmart’s biggest selling author and they will look into the abyss that is their corporate soul.
