The Prince & The Apocolypse was a delightful and entertaining YA high-stakes romantic comedy! I liked the banter between Theo and Wren. I felt each of their characters had relatable qualities. The story pacing was steady. The end had a big reveal, setting up the story for the next installment, Heir Apparently. Overall, I enjoyed my reading experience and would recommend The Prince & The Apocolypse to other YA romance readers. I will be continuing the series.

This book was everything. It was somehow lighthearted and funny, while also providing so much insight into how it feels to have unfinished business. I loved Wren, Theo, and Comet - I may have started screaming during the ferry scene.

Now all I want to know is…will there be a sequel?!?

American girl Wren Wheeler is in London about to leave to go home to Chicago. Her last day in London happens to be the worst day of her life but turns into the best day. She runs into British crown prince Theodore who is in need help to escape all the paparazzi and fangirls. Everyone is hit with the announcement that a comet is going to hit earth in 8 days. The world is ending. Wren now has no way to get home and is stuck with a prince. 
They are now on a mission to get to a final destination where they both will be able to live out their last days before the world ends. It’s full of so much action and drama. The romance is so good too, the tension was amazing. Aw Comet was so cute. The dog was such a good touch. I was laughing so much during this read too. I loved all the little serious bits too. Wren being the comedic relief character was hilarious.
The ending of this book too had me screaming I’m so happy I got the arc for the second one and didn’t have to wait. This would be such a great end of the world romcom!

I am DNF’ing this one. It just reads like a cheesy Hallmark Rom-Com and it’s just not a vibe for me.

Absolutely delightful. Everything I wanted in a YA-Prince-in-Disguise-End-of-the-World romp.

Thanks to the publisher for the eARC in exchange for my review.

This book was a pleasant surprise! I recently joined Goodreads to help track my reading goals for the year and I entered a giveaway for this book. I don't usually pick this genre when I am shopping for books for myself, but I am trying to branch out and figured if I won it and didn't enjoy it then no harm, no foul.

I LOVED this book! It was quirky, swoony, heartbreaking, hopeful, and shocking - all at once! The main character was easy to relate to, and the adventures she experiences and people she meets in this end of the world rom-com are as unique as they are enjoyable. The writing style allows the reader to connect with the characters on a realistic level. You can truly see yourself navigating the crisis along with the characters.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a light read that will keep you turning the pages long past when you told your housemates "just one more chapter".
