Zora is a driven, service-oriented girl, who during the summer before her senior year, is in a summer program at a prestigious college. While Zora is trying to learn how to raise money for her charity through her classes, she catches the eyes of Owen Whittelsey. Zora and Owen mistakenly exchange phones, and their relationship is off to a rocky start because Owen is a prince of a small country and attracts a lot of attention wherever he goes. Owen and Zora’s relationship starts to affect both of their lives in different ways, but they still want to see where it will go.
This is a cute romance with a strong main character, but the side stories about Zora’s family and charity make this book more than just a romance. This is a clean read, except for the swears (ten of the swears are “God”). Zora’s character is fully developed, but the romance felt unfinished and less fleshed out.
