Covering the highs and (mostly) lows of Jonsson—s romantic travels, the stories in Hey Princess often straddle the gap between tragedy and comedy. As explained by Jonsson in a recent interview with us, it was important for him to wait years before writing about these experiences. Having the distance of time between living the events and writing about them gives Hey Princess a cathartic quality; often the pathos of the author’s younger self is accompanied by the caustic humour of self-acceptance. Just like a —greatest hits— of relationship disasters, there—s something in here for everyone: from the difficult experience of dating the university student who is desperate to experience sexual freedom, to the dreaded disintegrating long-distance relationship, to the unfortunate situation of dating a girl who reveals herself to be just seventeen a little too late.
