Ganska klassisk romcom, rolig.

Lite för lyckligt och orealistiskt slut för min del

Though I was a bit skeptical in the beginning, my bookclub mates convinced me to relax a little, and I supposed they were right. Once I did, I had a ton of fun! I really like all the characters honestly, they all have such charm and warmth, and the comedy hit in a lot of parts. The emotional beats made me cry, especially towards the ending, but also whenever they talked about their feelings or there was a big fight (like the christmas family fight? Tears). In general, I really liked that it had comedy AND political intrigue. Also, damn this book for making me like the fictional royal family 😂.

If you ignore the absolutely unhinged political dynamics and assumption, it's not a bad romance! The scene transitions can get confusing and are often pretty rough, especially as an audiobook. The characters are super cool and super interesting, but oh wow the sociopolitical world this book lives in is almost painfully naive.
