While I enjoyed reading it, I have some major issues with a couple aspects. First, the first person narration would have been fine except for the bits where Amy is speaking to the reader. I'm not sure there's a more annoying tactic but dear readers, you decide.Second, the lack of any chemistry between Leo and Amy. I had a hard time believing that they really cared for each other. In fact, I'm pretty sure neither of them ever used the "L" word to each other (Amy mentioned in the end that she loved him, but did she ever tell him?). I'm not sure exactly what Amy saw in Leo except for his gorgeous looks--which we know because the word "gorgeous" is used to describe him. Amy didn't do anythuing particularly clever or noteworthy when they met, so I'm not sure why Leo was so determined to have her.Finally--and here's a bit of a spoiler--the ending was just...what? I was about to accept that Amy and Leo were not meant to be together, then he pulls a deus ex machina out of his crown and voila! They can be together after all. But I'm not sure why she'd want to be with a man who didn't defend her to his mother and sister, and who lets his sister triumph in her schemes to become crown princess. Really? That's what Willi would have wanted?And Ted...what a drip.The other parts of the book were very well done, however, and I enjoyed the descriptions and detail that went into the book. I liked the real life family drama--Amy's mother's problems came across as very real, and Amy's sympathy for her mother's anxiety issues makes her a sympathetic character.So, I'll give it four stars--with caveats. If you like royal books or chick lit, give this one a go. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Chick Lit with good character development *by L***U on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2014* Amy Wilde is a gardener in London who has a tough time meeting men despite her outgoing flat mate Jo's best intentions. Amy meets Leo at a party when his brother Rolf is out of control and breaks some of her potted plants. Amy goes on a date with Leo before she ever realizes that he is a Royal... aka exactly the kind of man Amy's dad warned her about. But Leo is different than most other Royals, in that he has a "regular" job, enjoys watching TV on his couch at night, and he is interested in Amy. I hope I'm not giving anything away when I say that Amy and Leo fall in love over the course of the book, though there are some bumps along the way that bring into question whether a regular girl can really ever fit into a Royal lifestyle.I'm a pretty fast reader, but it took me nearly a week to finish this book, and not just because the book is 400+ pages. The Runaway Princess is chick lit, but at times it didn't feel like it. There was so much character development and description that I found myself taking my time and enjoying every single written word. I felt like all of the main characters were fleshed out extremely well and I was rooting for everyone by the end of the book.My only request? The Runaway Princess NEEDS a sequel so we can find out what happens to Amy, Leo, Jo, and Rolf! ### ⭐⭐⭐ Fair Read *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2012* I've read every Hester Browne novel since reading The Little Lady Agency a few years back. She has a clear, funny writing style that I think many "chick lit" novels seriously lack. I enjoyed the aforementioned Little Lady Agency and Browne's last release, Swept Off Her Feet. I was less pleased with The Finishing Touches and the 2nd Little Lady book and, unfortunately, this one as well.My main issue with The Runaway Princess is that it feels too recycled. Browne's heroines are all a bit too alike, something I'm at odds with because they make me feel like a good friend of Browne's. To have four main, first person characters who all share several identical traits is a bit much to believe it's not totally coincidentally fictional. But I'm never bored with these girls, so that's not the recycled bit that I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is other things: the BFFs of these women are identical, there are unbelievable yet comedic families (particularly heavy on the sister front), the love interests are dreamy, typical guys (the exception being Nelson). The only thing that changes is the details of the plot, and even that is only slight at best.This plot didn't appeal to me much, so in that sense I knew what I was getting into. I don't find it attractive to be a royal or someone famous and I was really hoping Amy would choose someone different, particularly (and this brings me back to the recycled bit) because Leo is much, much too familiar, being a clear composite of mostly Jonathon and Nelson from Little Lady Agency. I also didn't like all the royal name dropping; it was to be expected but it was way overkill by the end of the book, which was way too slow in coming. Add to that the family "mystery/secret" that Amy withheld until almost the very end (making it more predictable and, therefore, less terrible than it was built up to be). But this book had several funny moments. In fact, I would say this was Browne's funniest of the bunch. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/26102435-the-runaway-princess](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/26102435-the-runaway-princess) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
