This book has a cute premise but felt pretty cliche to me. There was very little real conflict and all of the characters were unrealistically kind and understanding, in my view. I've heard it described as Princess Diaries meet Young Royals but Young Royals has a lot more realistic conflict than this book. Also, "dry humidity"? What does that mean? I would not recommend this as I think there are better examples of the genre.
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC!

The characters were boring, annoying and had no distinct voice. They could have as well been the same person.

Thank you NetGalley for the advance copy. I really enjoyed this mix of Princess diaries and Red White and Royal blue. Very cute, sweet book.

The Rules of Royalty by Cale Dietrich was a fun, quick read for me that I enjoyed quite a bit! "Two princes for neighboring countries fall into a whirlwind royal romance" was the hook that instantly intrigued me with this book! It was a fun mesh of The Princess Diaries and Red White and Royal Blue. Erik and Jamie came from different backgrounds but had a lot in common. The acceptance of these two princes falling in love was refreshing, and their romance was sweet and exciting.
