Thank you to Debbie Rigaud for the amazing opportunity to win a free signed copy of this book.

Did I really start and finish this in 2 hours? Yep! This was such a cute story. For me, there’s something super special about a YA romance starring a young black girl as the main character because let’s be honest, we don’t get many of them. If The Prince and Me & Prince Harry and Megan Markle’s real life story had a baby, Truly Madly Royally would be it. It was cute, fluffy, and an all around quick and fun read. Zora and Owen’s story felt like a movie, from their meet cute beginning to their fairytale ending. The only real issue that I have is that the portion of the story concerning the royal wedding itself came and went really quickly. I would’ve loved to get a more in-depth look into that and maybe a few more scenes before everything was wrapped up in a neat little bow.

I did love the fact that Zora was her own person and she had her own ambitions and goals going for her. She wasn’t just interesting because of her love interest in the Prince, but because she had her own thoughts, purposes and goals surrounding bettering her community.

I posted a slightly more in-depth reaction/review on my blog, which is linked below if anyone wants to check it out:

As a side note, I’m not sure if Debbie intends on writing a follow up, but I would love to read about Zora’s best friend Skye and the budding relationship between her and Zora’s brother Zach. Just saying!
