I didn’t realize this was YA when I picked it up. I was looking for a light summer read, which this novel was, and I think it has potential to be popular independent reading in my 10th grade classroom.
I....REALLY...enjoyed reading this. I am not a big fan of YA contemporary but this did NOT feel like a YA novel to me. Not that it was inappropriate, but in my head, these characters were ALL in their mid-twenties. Plus, this was basically royal Gossip Girl so, how could I not love it?
I can't wait for Majesty - I have my theories and hopes but I have a feeling it's going to go askew.
ALSO NINA WTF YOU ARE TOO GOOD FOR HIM.

Wow! I did not expect this story. It was so good. I loved how it was told from so many perspectives. I couldn’t imagine the pressure Beatrice was under, being the next in line for the throne, unable to marry who she wants. As for Sam and Jeff, being the spares doesn’t seem easy. I liked the revision of the US, not a democracy but a monarchy and how things we are used to, such as tea, are not allowed because of the disagreement with the British. I can’t wait to read the sequel!!!
I tore through this book over the weekend. I’m a huge @katharinemcgee fan and loved her Thousandth Floor series and was eagerly awaiting this new book. I really enjoyed the alternative history concept of an American monarchy as the spring point for the novel. I of course am already eagerly awaiting book 2, I’m not sure how I’m going to survive until next fall to see where things are headed. I’d love the next book to get a bit more into the details about how the country is run, what the challenges are etc (think the rebellion in the selection series or the human vs fae in A Court of Thorn and Roses), but I’m obviously in it for the romance too! I’m happy to see fiction taking on these alternative history paths versus just focusing on disotopian future societies.
The melodrama. The love quadrangles. What more to love that a slightly over-dramatic US history AU. I’m in desperate need of the sequel.
This was so fun. I’m glad there will be more in this series!!
Too predictable (<- from someone who loves rom-coms, which are generally known to be predictable)
I hated atleast 75% of the characters. I was honestly expecting to love this book but I just found the drama boring and a bit childish… although I just love books about royalty which is why it’s even getting a 3 lmao.
i was truly interested in the concept of royalty in America but horribly disappointed by the 2 dimensional characters and plot lines.
it felt like watching a poorly written script of a reality tv show based off the crown. the similarities between the royal family and the characters of this book would be plagiarism had it been a memoir.
however 1 star for the concept and because it did make me cry
and most important another star for the mention of wawa! however it would be 2 stars had they ordered correctly at wawa. they got a milkshake from asking an employee not from the kiosk. so wrong.
