Through these messages and the ending of the book (the section You), Lovelace challenges readers to empower yourself. Don’t rely on a man or his opinion to define who you are. Be proud of who you are and what you look like. Amanda Lovelace is challenging women to stand up for themselves. The main thing I felt after reading this book was empowerment. Also, the author deals with death and family situations that everyday people can relate to and understand. The book promotes positive self-image and independence from a boy. The author’s life is the meat of this book and it shows her experiences with family, boys, and her self-image. The Princess Saves Herself in This One is a book about being a strong, independent woman, but having to deal with the struggles and difficulties that life throws your way. When I was told to read The Princess Saves Herself in This One by a friend, I knew I would love it. Since reading Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds, I have been on the hunt for another book written in verse.

Explores life & all of its love, loss, grief, healing, empowerment, & inspirations.
