LOVE! This book was so cute and sweet with spice! This is a feel good book, I loved the journey of Piper and Harrison-they were each dealing with their own serious things and I'm so glad the author included aspects of mental health that aren't always spoken about. The relationship between Piper and Harrison developed at the perfect pace, I loved the back and forth between them and how the royals are very much a side story and side characters. Highly recommend!

This book was cute, but a little bit preachy.

Side characters felt too much like fan fiction of real people, which makes me wildly uncomfortable.

Semi-enjoyable fluff piece.

This book was cute, but it honestly felt like reading fanfiction for Prince Harry and Meghan. 

I also felt the relationship between Harrison and Piper wasn’t fully believable for me. They have like 5 interactions, many of which are argumentative, and they’re already at “I more than like you” with each other. 

There was a lot of great representation though, and WOMEN EMPOWERMENT FOR SURE! That alone I think saved this book for me. Piper finally stands up for herself and learns her worth and what she wants in life.
