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.
