This was a reread for me that I remember really loving as a teenager.
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.

The story follows America and her journey to deciding if she wants to be princess and her feeling between two boys. All while there is the have and have not outside the palace which has caused a group to want to bring down the royal family. Then there is Maxon and his decision on who he wants as not only his wife but the queen. There were 35 to start now there is only 6. Is America the one or is she not?
This story line is good, but Americas back and forth and her juggling the feelings of two boys hearts is annoying. I also think this book could have been cut down, at times its like it's stuck on replay. Only minor changes go about each day and each girl does the same thing.
