Side note: I LOVE the relationship America has with her father. The way she constantly asks him for guidance and looks to him as a level-head is just incredible!

I was holding out hope for Maxon, but he disappointed me so much. Boo. Marlee disappointed me too. She did wrong, even if her sentence was harsh. Aspen is still a jerk.
The only character I like at this point is the queen and we probably only got one paragraph of her. The maids are still really nice, too.
Also, what is going on with palace security??? They can afford so much luxury, yet they apparently can't find a way to keep someone from breaking into the palace every two seconds. Not to mention we have the world's best detective team here who clearly is figuring out what the rebels want. (Spoiler, THEY STINK AT DETECTIVE WORK.)
I usually try to find nice things to say about books I have negative reviews about but I can't for this. It's false romance, predictable, annoying and uninspiring. And I hate that I need to know what happens to these characters. 😂

I can definitely see why I liked this so much. It is funny and cute and light-hearted. As an adult some of the plot points for the lead characters a bit trivial, but the book isn't aimed at adults, so that doesn't effect the star rating.
While I enjoy a lot of the banter and adore the side characters immensely, I often found the reasons behind decisions, America's temper, and the miscommunication forced. She makes so many rediculous assumptions and often acts out. But I guess I was just as impulsive at 17.
I still find this story incredibly cute and one I look forward to keeping in my collection and sharing with friends in the future.

America is looking at both Maxson and Aspen thinking both of them are good. Yeah, they are good. Then why the heck are you still looking at both of them, kissing both of them and longing for both of them. It's like cheating in a premium way. I don't like that at all.
And same goes with the Maxson. I hope someone will understand that "If you really love the first person, you wouldn't even think about the second one". What kind of stupid dating game is this? And yeah, you want to show the world how great person Maxson is by showing him forgiving everyone for their faults and all. I wonder if he does the same if he knows that America also goes back and forth with Aspen and Maxson.
Being a prince must be nice. You can have so many girls around you and experiment with them while saying it "finding the right one". Bleh. Bullshit.
