What would you do when your boyfriend dumps you for being ‘too boring’?

Synopsis

My review

Jess is determined to win back her boyfriend. She was hoped to be proposed, but instead she got her heart broken when the boyfriend, Collin, breaks up with her, under the pretence that she is just too boring.
And what better way to win Collin back than proofing that she is not boring at all? so off she goes with her best friend to the mountains of Vermont, ready for adventurous that will show just how much fun she is and so get Collin back.

Jamie on the other hand wants to complete the bucket list he created with his father, before taking the Crown. So he goes incognito to Vermont, to enjoy and discover life as a commoner.
And there he meets Jess. After the initial dislike, they start to get closer, but what will happen when it’s unveiled that they both are keeping secrets from each other?

This is the typical Christmas royal story you HAVE to read. To go even further, I can see it easily made into a movie!

When we meet Jess, it’s when her heart is getting broken. Instead of getting engaged, she finds herself dumped by Collin. And for me it was obvious that Collin was someone I totally disliked. So even if I felt sorry for Jess, having to go through that, I was happy Collin was not going to be an important character in this book.

Jamison (or rather Jamie 😄) feels the pressure of taking the Crown and getting married. He is ready to take his responsibilities, but before he does all that, he wants to finish the bucket list he started with his father before the King passed away.
And when I knew what he wanted to do, I felt truly sorry for him. What he wanted to do was so common, things that for us would  be normal things, nothing special, like eating a real burger with French fries.

I had so many laughs reading this story, the situations Jess gets in, trying to proof her bravery, with some help from her best friend Molly.
But there were also so many sweet moments where we see that Jess and Jamie are bonding and getting closer.
Of course they are hiding their true selves to each other, Jess being described as boring, and Jamie being royal. But their characters connect in a way that makes that their background doesn’t matter.

This story ticks all the boxes for escaping our own world, dreaming of meeting our own Prince Charming.
It’s a funny romantic story, but also with the message that we shouldn’t try to change ourselves to please someone else. Because for the right person, you are just perfect, even with your green hair and all your fears!
