Meh. It was fine. The main character Bex kind of annoyed me honestly. Actually the majority of the characters annoyed me. It’s like the book started when they were 19 and progressed over an 8 year period where they all continued to act like they were 19. The beginning was better than the end. It wasn’t as good as I expected.
Chick lit at it’s finest haha. This had good romance, it was funny, and it didn’t turn my brain to mush. Not sure I would have enjoyed it as much if I hadn’t done audio. The audiobook narrator was fantastic!
This was unabashed Will & Kate fanfiction, and I have absolutely zero problems with that. It was like getting a first-person view of a much juicier version of W&K's story, without real people and real feelings on the other end of the microscope, and I am such a sucker for that. Personally, I liked the crazy twist at the end; they had to make it differ from reality somehow, and it was still fun. I did get a little tired of Nick & Bex constantly having to deal with huge make-or-break obstacles, but maybe that is really what life in The Firm is like. I really enjoyed this book and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who, like me, has inspirational Kate photos in the closet and can't resist clicking on any slideshow of their romance.

I literally could not stop reading this. Shot daggers at my students each time they interrupted me to ask about the assignment.

Not knowing really anything about the actual Royal family... I cannot say if this book is similar to their legacy or not which seems to be one of the biggest issues with this book lol.
What I can say though is that I ate this book up. As someone who loves Disney, Bridgerton, and any form of content that involves royalty, I could not finish this book quick enough. This book tells the story of, American, Rebecca Porter and Prince Nicholas of Great Britain. With flashbacks to important parts of their relationship on the eve of their wedding, this book kept me questioning what was happening in a way that I could not stop reading.
I loved Rebecca and Nickolas' chemistry and how they were with each other. My only real issue with this book was Rebecca's sometimes inability to see a bright side and constant down mood for a decently substantial portion of the book. This kept me just wanting her to go get some help, talk to someone, anyone.
While a lot of reviews for this book claim it is too long and slow, I actually don't agree, but can see where they are coming from. This book is decently long at 452 pages, but I don't think there were many spots that I would've wanted cut. If this book were shorter, I do not think the story would be as intertwined and the characters would loose their liveliness.
Recommended for anyone who loves a good royal story with many layers and smaller stories that all wrap into a nail biting and sweet ending.

This books was pure fun. It was well written, smart, witty, and emotional. I very much loved reading it and I couldn't wait to see what happened next. HOWEVER, it is definitely just Kate and Will fan fiction, which was great for me, but may not be for everyone. This book isn't going to change literature forever, but it is entertaining and fun, which is all it sets out to be.
