Gwen was a princess, already betrothed to Arthur since she was still a kid. One summer when Gwen almost 18, Arthur ordered by his father to spend the summer at Camelot castle to get to know Gwen better. Soon its discovered that they both had crushes to other people, despite their betrothal. Then they agreed to keep their charade and keep each other’s secret.

Honestly i couldn’t really connect with the story. Sure it was funny sometimes, but they seemed to be just fucking around without any concerns about other stuff. All that matter were their romantic affairs. And the fact that they’re all barely adult????? I know that’s because the book’s age range is YA but it didnt sit right with me somehow.

Then suddenly after 80% mark its action packed. At that point I couldn’t care less about the book, thought about dnf it but didn’t want my time wasted for nothing. So here we are.

This book is so much fun and heartwarming! A tale of love and loss and done extremely well. A reflective and refreshing book that reads easy and genuine.

It was a decently mid book? Unfortunately the narrator for Arthur did not carry his weight and it made it real hard to take his chapters seriously. I enjoyed the side characters a lot, but Bridget left so much to be desired with her characterisation and relationship with Gwen. I appreciated what it was trying to say but the plot it tried to use to convey it just didn't really make sense.
