When I finally worked out who everyone was this turned into a brilliant book that I flew through. I love anything with glitz, glamour and drama and this is all of that!

Bad

This has the glitz and glam of the modern royalty novels, but American royals (look I had to use the title okay). It also has all the drama that Katharine McGee knows how to write. Yes, sometime it is over the top, but honestly it wouldn't be as much fun if it wasn't.

I got an ARC of this book at Bookcon via the publisher; all opinions are my own.

Recommended by a friend. Probably won’t read the rest of the series but it was okay. It felt very drawn out in my opinion- nearly 450 pages for the first book in this series. I honestly didn’t care about any character (and there are a lot of them…). 

Like Gossip Girl, but with princes and princesses. This should have been a fun read, but I never cared enough about the characters to get really sucked in. Will probably read a spoiler of the second book to find out what happens - I’m curious, but not curious enough to read it.
