This book was absolutely hilarious. I loved how much stuff happened I pictured every aspect of the book which was fun, unique, and had many crazy elements that had me giggling my way through. I felt very pulled in and involved in the book and i related well to it. It did seem a bit cheesy at times but overall loved this one !

This book was such a delight! George Nearly is an English teacher in his late 30s who wakes up the morning after his birthday festivities to find a strange woman asleep on his rug. As if this wasn't strange enough, the woman also claims to be a princess. Trying to get out of attending her sister's wedding, Princess Araminta (Minty) comes to the conclusion that George has kidnapped her and she agrees to stay with him until Sunday -- the day after the wedding. Hilarity ensues.

There's something about British humor that I can't put my finger on, but that I absolutely adore. I loved watching George as he came to grips with the fact that he really does have a princess in his living room, and he really is not getting rid of her. The interactions between Minty and George's mother were absolute perfection, and watching the "party princess" do normal things such as go to a fast food establishment were just so amusing. It definitely made me want a Minty in my life.

There were one or two spots that I thought were a little slow, but overall I thoroughly enjoyed myself and look forward to the sequel!

Firstly, thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read a copy of this book.

This book follows the protagonist, George Nearly, an 'average' schoolteacher who wakes up the morning after his 39th birthday celebrations to discover a woman, Minty, sleeping on his favourite rug. She claims to be a princess, and insists that George has kidnapped her (but only for the week, until her sister's wedding is over!). George and Minty then spend the week together, engaging in a variety of cringe worthy and hilarious activities.

I really enjoyed this book! The humour is fantastic and Paul Mathews absolutely nails the banter between the characters.

The author manages to include the reader in the book by having the George communicate to the reader throughout the story, referring to them as his 'trusty coping-mechanism friend'. This involvement in the book takes the reading experience to a whole new level.

I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series, and ready more about George and Minty's adventures.
