This book is still got to be my favorite book! I had forgotten so many details because I have read so much since then, but it still sucked me in and I didn’t want to put it down during the reread! I LOVE this book and still feel like nothing quite compares to it no matter how hard I try.
Original review from 2016:
Honestly one of the best young adult books I have read in a long time. Though it is fairly predictable it was still a major page turner for me as I read it in a day. An easy but quite enjoyable read. A good taste of sweet romance with a little action. First off, it is clean for once. Second, sex is seen as something valuable (it's not a main subject but just an observation that stuck out). Third, both the men and woman are strong characters. And finally, it's just so nice to read something refreshing and mainly light hearted. I don't read fiction often because I find it either disappointing or disheartening but this book has been a refreshing read. It would make a great TV series or movie. I want to read the next books so bad I ordered them on Amazon before I finished this book.

Buttt it is not perfect ofc:
- america is such a stereotype of a YA novel character, "i'm not like other girls" "i'm not pretty" "i'm not interesting" "i don't like the love interest and that's why he likes me back" "i'm spr humble and don't care about all these riches that i find in this castle" bla bla bla
- the whole concept of her and 34 other girls dating the prince and being forced to be loyal only to him and if they're not it's treason and they'll get killed is fucked up and kinda misogynistic but ok (plus all these girls competing for a man.. pls)
But if ur just looking for a kinda dumb little story to read w/o rly thinking about it, this is for you. Romance-wise i found it to be spr cute and u also get to read about her living in a palace and uk living the life of a princess
