LOVED IT! It was sweet and heartfelt and so adorable. I loved the growth the characters went through and the side characters were great as well. Loved it.

2.5 ⭐️
It was ok. Felt like a bit of a tough slog at times - I didn’t feel attached enough to any of the characters to want to find out what happened to them. A few times I considered DNF-ing. 
For me, I think it was a mix of the themes that I just wasn’t interested in. Between the royalty, Instagram, paparazzi of it all, two FMC who - to me - didn’t exude chemistry, and the boarding school atmosphere. It just wasn’t anything I could ever relate to but that wouldn’t be a problem if it was at least enjoyable… but it wasn’t. It wasn’t clever, or captivating, even the mysterious elements and villain arcs fell flat for me. Disappointing 

Also, zero 🌶️

I loved this book! The pacing was great & I couldn't stop reading once I started.
Although I loved the royalty x commoner trope & the sapphic romance, what really resinated with me was the exploration around mental health, homophobia and queer identiy throughout the story.
I loved the two main characters, Danni & Rose, and felt myself relating heavily to the two girls in different ways - to the point where I'd found myself with tears in my eyes and cursing out loud on their behalf multiple times. Their chemistry, banter and build up was so charming too!

I am glad I chose this to be my frist book coming back into reading! Thank you Sophie!
