*3 stars* - spoiler-free
Honestly - meh.
I read the first one, which was a fun ride, but not a masterpiece and this one was about the same on that level, but this had the unfortunate timing of being read right after I reread 'Red, White & Royal Blue'.
So yeah - I read this book to curb a book hangover (because it has sort of the same premise - gay royals with bisexual Americans from the South) and it didn't hold up, but it was an okay book.

This book is the perfect lesbian/bisexual love story for middle schoolers, like 12-year-olds who are stepping their first steps into the romance genre or the whole LGBT+ genre.
The book follows Millie, a 17-year-old girl from Texas that sometimes kisses her best friend but doesn't know how to define it yet, are they best friends that kiss? or are they girlfriends? Needless to say that she got that figured out for her when her "best friend/girlfriend" started kissing someone else, and Millie ran away to the highlands of Scotland.....
Right, because the only way to run away from your problems at 17 is to leave the continent and everyone and everything you know behind.
Regardless, she runs away and attends this super fancy boarding school that the actual princess of Scotland attends, and of course, they happen to be roommates, and of course, they dislike each other from the very start.
And, of course, they don't hate each other by the end because this is a romance novel for 12-year-olds.
I liked the book, hence the four-star rating, but I was hyper-aware during the whole book that I might be a little older than the target audience. So I would not reread it....but I might recommend this book to my 13-year-old sister. So that's that.

uhm again was fine, loved it was queer and the boarding school setting
Fun and full of cute banter, but was often unsatisfying. Minor characters and side plots were often introduced and abandoned soon after. (Especially the mole plot line- was I the only person who thought Sakshi was going to betray Millie to the press?)
However, even with the sometimes questionable writing style, it was still super cute and full of witty conversations and some truly magical scenes.
