Truly Madly Royally by Debbie Rigaud
4.0
Zora Emerson has big ideas and the plans to accomplish them. Already heading major community programs in her black New Jersey suburb at age 17, she heads to a summer program on a prestigious college campus to learn more about community service and funding non-profits. A chance meeting on campus with fellow student Owen (who just so happens to be the prince of a small island near England) starts a sweet romance.
Truly Madly Royally is a quick and witty romance with themes of privilege and community building. Zora’s focus on Black Excellence and the contrast between her life and Owen’s adds additional interest.
Fans of sweet YA romances like those by Jenny Han will like this book, as will fans of Cinderella stories such as The Royals series by Rachel Hawkins. This book is also perfect for fans of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s romance.
