Synopsis

With the mystery of Maureen Johnson and Brittany Cavallaro and the historical intrigue of Romanov, this genre-bending YA will pull readers into one girl’s journey of discovering the impossible tale of a long-lost aunt—and through her, the importance of being true to yourself. It’s not every day you discover you might be related to Anastasia…or that the tragic princess actually survived her assassination attempt and has been living as the woman you know as Aunt Anna. For Jess Morgan, who is growing tired of living her life to please everyone else, discovering her late aunt’s diaries shows her she’s not the only one struggling to hide who she really is. But was her aunt truly a Romanov princess? Or is this some elaborate hoax?With the help of a supremely dorky but undeniably cute local college student named Evan, Jess digs into the century-old mystery.But soon Jess realizes there’s another, bigger truth waiting to be revealed: Jess Morgan. Because if she’s learned anything from Aunt Anna, it’s that only you can write your own story.Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

So that was...a book...I guess... In all honesty, for the most part, if Joy Preble's "Dreaming Anastasia" was Romanov YA fiction if it was done in the style of Lauren Kate's Fallen, The Storyteller is Romanov YA fiction if it was done in the style of Meg Cabot's Princess Diaries series. I wish I could......more

Thank you, Harper Audio (Harper Collins) & NetGalley, for allowing me to read/listen to this book early in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions on the work.
