Judging by the reviews on this everyone else seemed to not like this book. Now I usually hate everything, even the books everyone else likes, so when it comes to this I'm surprised by all the low ratings. This book was fun. It's funny, and it's a cute quick read. This is a satire of reality TV, hitting on everything from Kris K's wardrobe to Kylie's makeup line. It also mocks celebrities and the LA lifestyle. There was still enough heart to make me swoon at the ending.
However I ended up giving this 3 stars because it dragged a little too much around the middle for me. I should tell you that I'm a fan of reality TV and celebrity gossip so I am the niche market that this book was created for.

As a reality tv gossip lover this was right up my fluffy summer read alley.

Very entertaining. Characters are flawed, which I love because they seem like real people. Which is ironic in this story. Ending fell short in my opinion and I couldn't handle the cheesiness.

DNF at 20%. I feel like this book just wasn't my thing. It was set around a reality show family... And it felt way too much like the Kardashians for me to stay interested.

Ugh, this is another book I had a lot of mixed feelings on. I think I made a mistake of reading this right after finishing A Court of Wings and Ruin and being in a super high fantasy reading mood. I'm just not one for cute fun contemporary novels for the most part, as they're a bit boring to me most of the time. The fact that I was reading this for an Instagram challenge and didn't feel like finding another book to match the prompt and the fact that I refuse to DNF books made me push through and finish it. I'm making it out to sound like some terrible book I was tortured to read which is not that case. It was actually a pretty good book but just not usually my cup of tea and a book I wasn't particularly in the mood for.
If you love cute, light and funny contemporary novels and want a quick read and love reality TV I think this book would be perfect for you. As I continued reading I was a little confused about the whole storyline and some scenes felt a little weird and pointless but I think it all tied up nicely in the last 100 pages and was made a little more clear. I did end up really liking the ending scenes and thought it was a cute ending.
Overall I think this is a quick, light and funny read (I definitely found myself laughing out loud a few times) and is a unique story! It just wasn't something I was in the mood for right now but I still ended up enjoying it. 💗

Really fun. A parody of a certain front-facing family paired with lucid and relatable teen thoughts.

Spoilers, I guess
3.5 stars!
also i am so sorry, this is the weirdest review i have ever written
It took me a lot longer to finish this book than I had expected. To be honest, Royce Rolls was one of my most anticipated reads of the year, and it was very different from what I expected.
I don’t watch reality television. The utter lack of reality is what makes me rage out whenever I think about how the Kardashians haven’t actually done anything of note, ever. But still they are one of the most famous families in the US. Same thing goes with the Royces. Mercedes is not a good mother. She pretends not to be one, and lets her children run amok. Porsche may have her Lippies line, but the only thing she has ever done is get her boob job on her 16th birthday. The two youngest Royces are slightly less idiotic, even though Maybach could have confronted his gambling problem earlier on. The biggest surprise came when I started to get what Bentley was talking about.
Bentley Royce is a kick-ass character. Not only because she is a troubled teenager, but because after a long while of standing in the sidelines, she does something, and saves her family, and stands up for herself. We could use a few more people like her in this world- obviously minus all the drama that comes with being a Royce.
I can’t really sum up my thoughts on this book because I’m still pretty shocked about how clever the whole thing was. It was a guilty pleasure, something that I’ll probably never read again, but will stick with me for a while.
There are plenty of things in this book- romance, angst, lies, drama… and the Royces. Just roll with them.
that was so clever omg
And it has been a while since I’ve felt so happy about a love interest as I did with this book and I’m not talking about Whitey, because he was scum. I’m for Asa Venice all the way
3.5 stars!
