 I'm really not into the royal family but I was intrigued by the plot. This just wasn't for me.

Good grief this book was boring. It was a series of characters, all of whom have political positions in the British hierarchy and connections to each other. But none of said characters have a personality. In fact none of them seem to like each other very much, even when we were specifically told that they liked each other. It felt like trudging through most of it, thankfully it was short. Even the reveal at the end was boring, like everyone was involved but not really.

Great coming of age story. If the king of England was a Black teen, being hounded by his family's secrets. Twist ending too. LGBTQA+. #goodreadsgivaway

I actually couldn’t get into it. The best part was the mystery but then I kinda figured it out in the middle so it was like okayyy??? It was hard to follow at time as well…

Repeated plot twists do not a good book make.
