I did not even know that this novella was a thing until it was recommended to me on kindle. No one ever tells me anything! This was the perfect thing to shake me out of my reading slump. I needed more American Royals in my life, and not to be dramatic, but May 31st can't come soon enough.
This prequel follows our main characters on a night where everything changes for them. Beatrice finds herself alone in a car with her Revere guard, Nina, pining for Prince Jefferson, finds herself finally being bold, and Sam goes on a wild adventure involving a new boy and a garbage truck. This brought the drama, brought the ~feels~ and honestly helped bring a lot more context to a night that is referenced in the series quite a bit, but up until now, readers have not gotten a front row seat to. I really enjoyed this an can't wait for Rivals to come out at the end of the month. I will simply die.
