More guilty-pleasure than fine literature, this was a fun quick read.

I love all things royal, and even though this was a work of fiction, it was a sweet and fluffy story with a lot of believable truths at the root. I really enjoyed reading it.

I listened to this as an audio book. It was fun and fluffy, though almost 18 hours long, and I feel like it definitely was much longer than necessary. That being said ... I look forward to a sequel!

"A wave of intense happiness washed over me, and I told myself to carry this moment as a talisman of a time in my life when I was both truly content and lucky enough to realize it."

This book was sort of ridiculous, but I was still sort of smitten with it...except for Lacey who is an incredibly annoying character.

A lot of fun. The main characters were decent, but the supporting cast really shines. Bex's parents, Gaz, Cilla, Freddy, and especially Bea are great. I liked the many layers of the sister relationship as well; it seemed realistically complicated, and completely portrayed how siblings can break each other down, build each other up, and fight back-to-back against the whole rest of the world together. I wish I could keep hanging out with these characters.

I really liked this book. I love all things Royal, and I know part of it is loosely based on W & K. I found myself happy, sad, mad, and every emotion in between. If you don’t want a fairy tale type of book don’t read this.

Just 100% fun! Great pallet cleanser after you read something tough.
