I wish Flora's change of behaviour when around Millie would've been more gradual, but either way i love the mean blonde rich closeted lesbian trope so that was still a slay for me
also !! Jude was horrible to Millie, so I felt like them going back to being friends so abruptly was a bit, idk, weird ? anyways, Jude should've redeemed herself better bc she had been a real asshole.
also no way perry is straight sorry. His name is literally Peregrine
This book is very lighthearted, so I completely get why they wouldn't want to touch upon more serious homophobia (and I am all for not having queer characters suffer homophobia at all), but I did find it funny how none of the tabloids or the people seemed to be homophobic against Flora, except for her parents, and they were never shown being it directly. Sign that times are changing, maybe ? :) At least in the story !!

Millie är lycklig i Texas tills hon upptäcker att hennes bästa vän/flickvän har träffat någon annan. Millie bestämmer sig då för att följa sin önskan om att gå i skolan i Scotland.
Men när hon kommer dit är allt fantastiskt utan en sak, hennes rumskamrat Flora. Flora är lite av en bitch samt en prinsessa... av Scotland. Men Flora är också den snyggaste tjejen Millie någonsin sätt.
Rolig, romantisk och lite knasig bok men väldigt läsvärd. En gullig romans kantad med stenar och solglasögon (förstår du inte? läs boken). Rekommenderar till den som vill ha en ganska kort bok ca 300 sidor med en sapphic romans.

Nice light read for inbetween two heavier books, not too short or too long. Lovable characters, sometimes felt a bit rushed, but nothing too bad

A really cute read with great humor and characters. There is little angst and lots of fluff. The relationship and friendships are so cute. If you’re looking for a lighthearted sapphic read, I highly recommend this one.

8/10. It made me cry, it made me laugh, it made me scream. It also made me yearn for a romance of my own similar to what the characters had so it did its job well. I recommend.

So cute, such an easy and enjoyable read! Some of the best written romance pacing/tension I've seen in a YA contemporary! really entertaining and adorable and one of those books that had me constantly talking to the characters :)
However, I have some qualms:
1. The pacing sped up a little too quickly near the end for my preference.
2. The amount of pop culture references. Hard no from me. (although, kudos to "maybe Veruca salt can be our always" for what might be the funniest line to include multiple pop culture references ever written)
3. WHY DID EVERYONE HAVE POSH ENGLISH ACCENTS? THE PRINCESS OF SCOTLAND SHOULD HAVE A SCOTTISH ACCENT!!! the only person in this book that had a scottish accent - despite the entire book taking place in scotland - was the old groundskeeper. it made absolutely no sense to me and honestly got on my nerves the whole time.
