The girl who didn’t want to be a princess by Marcela Citterio

 

She doesn’t dream of falling in love. And especially and fundamentally: she doesn’t want to be a princess

Aurora has an intense life that she pours completely into Madonna, her bullet journal. Madonna is an organizer, a diary, a to-do list and a confidant. Her pages are intertwined with clippings of feminist debates and rallies, activities at the pet shelter where she volunteers, and photos of motorcycles and her five dogs. Clearly, she has no time for love. And, even if she did, her four siblings, who have been watching over her even of her own shadow since the death of her parents, would not allow it. But then, life throws her in front of Tiziano, an Italian heir to the throne who, fed tired of a life full of duties, plays a bet with his father: if he manages to live in Buenos Aires for seven days as an ordinary citizen, he will avoid getting married and will be able to continue racing in Formula 1. If he is found out, he must accept his arranged marriage and the responsibilities that come with the Crown. Their lives become intertwined when he discovers her journal. In the midst of an assassination attempt, a romance emerges that transforms them and leads them on adventures, such as clandestine poker games and romantic journeys. A love story that could be beautiful and perfect... like a fairy tale. But no. Tragedy threatens their happiness, reminding them that fairy tales don’t exist for a girl who doesn’t want to be a princess.
