The media and the family of the royal bastard gang up to make her life hell, but she gets through it. Once a potential love interest is killed, who is the killer, and who's trying to frame her?
This book was a good mix of dark/emotional and funny. I wish there were more of the fun parts and less of the dark and emotional parts. The book's first half felt more like a contemporary romance, but the second half was more of a thriller. I would have preferred less romance.
Overall a pretty good book that covered some hard topics. I really appreciated the compassion and understanding of the author for the mother who struggled with schizophrenia. I also liked that she made sure to have a part in there that corrected the assumptions of some of the general public that people with schizophrenia are violent, when in fact they're more likely to be the victim than the perpetrator of violence.
