Light, gossipy, good for a summer read. I highly recommend reading American Royals and this book back to back, as they felt like 2 parts of the same story. Finally feel like this story reached a satisfying conclusion, as I didn't feel that way after American Royals. Entertaining, even if some characters are dimensional!
It was wrapped way too fast for how long it was. I didn't like how quick the relationships changed and I didn't like how easily it seemed Daphne got off.

Listen. I didn’t realize the first one had a sequel. I am not a monster so I had to read both! Also hit me up if you want to borrow/have as I do own both now and that’s me living my truth.
yes that scene with connor at the end made me cry. yes i stan teddy and bea.
fun book even if i got annoyed at times.
i’m rooting for a bea x teddy, nina x jeff, sam x marshall and even an ethan x daphne endgame. i like nina and ethan together tho. so even an ethan x nina and a jeff x no one would work for me. i just might die if jeff and daphne end up together, unless jeff is somehow able to overcome daphne being evil? but yeah idk. let’s see what happens

I think a child could write a better ending than that in their sleep lol
update just found out this is not in fact the conclusion so I take back my harsh review

Interestingly, nothing that I thought (and wanted) to happen happened. But I still liked the story. I felt like this one was a little more fun, but some of the plot lines were really predictable, and basically one situation from the first book happened again in this book. But, I have a theory that I’m excited to see if it is true!
I received a digital arc from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I really, really enjoyed this book!
It’s been awhile since I read the first American Royals book so I was so glad the author included a lot of information to help you remember right off the bat where we left off, but it didn’t seem like too much of an info dump.
I don’t know if this just was the right time for me to read it or maybe it just was even better than the first one, but I enjoyed this one so much more! I liked the first book but it was sort of middle of the road for me. With Majesty, I had such an enjoyable reading experience and was feeling all of the emotions.
There were quite a few tropish romance book scenes, but for once, I was here for it! There were also plenty of the usual “misunderstandings leading to arguments” that normally aggravate me, but it kind of worked somehow.
I don’t know what it is about these characters, but they just pulled on my heartstrings. I just felt for Samantha and Beatrice and became so attached to them and their storylines. The scene with Beatrice and congress (no spoilers!) made me feel so many emotions and had me hurting on her behalf. I hated people who hurt our main characters and fell in love with the love interests right along with them.
I also want to say that I loved that Daphne isn’t just a mean girl villain. In both of these books, she is portrayed as an antagonist but she is also more well rounded, which I liked.
Overall, just a really good, fun read! It’s a great balance between romance and friendships and family, with a dash of royal drama! I’m assuming there will (hopefully!) be a third one and I’ll be so excited to read it. 4.25/5 stars!

I loved this second book in the series just as much as book one. McGee is a master of twisting romance tropes to make them feel fresh and new! Once again, there are plenty of couples to route for, and the ending was not what I was expecting at all. Time for book three!
