Rating: ??? - for me this was a 2, just way too young for me, I got bored and wanted to move on, for an early teen two thumbs up, super cute and age appropriate romance
TLDR: Are you a young teen? This book is for you.
This book is cute. Enjoyable Princess Diaries vibes without just being a queer retelling of that story. This book is clearly written for a young audience. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone older than young teens. The main characters are 17 and behave in very safe ways. I would let my kids read this.
The audiobook performances were good. One narrator gave the character an annoyingly ridged voice. This was intentional for the character but it still grated at first.
Ultimately, I'd recommend this book to anyone who is a young teenager.

It was a really nice story but felt a lot of the story it was all too easy for Jamie.

I felt like some parts of the book were left off like about Erik and his school, not sure if that was meant to be but some parts of the book felt that way. I thought this was a very enjoyable book and finished very fast. It is a pretty happy book so if you want to cry, this probably isnโt the book.

Thank you Wednesday Books and SMP Romance for sending my latest summer read my way!
Did yโall think I forgot about this one? ๐
Being a total mood reader, there are lots of times I start a book and put it down for a different season or vibe. ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฒ๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ฒ is such a fun, light read! For me, that means putting it aside until the summer. And Iโm SO glad I picked it back up! โ๏ธ
Read if you ๐ฉท:
โข ๐ Surprise Royalty
โข ๐ฉต Falling for the etiquette teacher
โข ๐ LGTBQIA+ representation
โข ๐๏ธ Having no mercy when playing Mario Kart
Jamie Johnson never expected to be royalty, let alone the long-lost heir to Mitanor, a sunny southern European kingdom! Whisked away to his fatherโs palace for the summer, heโs thrown into a crash course on royal life with the help of Erik, a stoic northern prince. Between etiquette lessons and royal traditions, sparks fly! But with crowns and countries in the mix, love might be the riskiest rule to break.
This book felt like the perfect mesh between โThe Princess Diariesโ and โRed, White & Royal Blueโ! As a fan of both, I was more than happy to be engrossed in a lighthearted romance.๐ There are a few conflicts where itโs clear the story is for younger audiences, but I found the miscommunication to be at a lower level than most romances, so Jamie and Erikโs story gets extra points in that regard.๐
If youโre looking for a sunny, royal romance filled with regal politics, supportive coparents, and secret crushes, be sure to pick up a copy of ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฒ๐๐ฅ๐ญ๐ฒ at your favorite local bookstore! ๐ฉต๐๐ฉต

Okay so I was super excited for this book. I wanted a silly goofy little royal romance. But this book had no plot. Like there were no driving forces. No growth. No development. No conflict. Every single potential thing was resolved instantly. It was honestly infuriating. I kept waiting for literally anything. It wasnโt bad, but like, I wanted way more than it gave me.
