Reviews with content warning for Bullying - American Royals

American Royals is truly a masterpiece and is so underhyped. The world is created so beautiful with a plot that will have you staying up way too late to read. A great read if you want YA with royalty.

I wish the author would have stayed in her lane and written a silly little, tropey romance novel. Instead, she decided to do some incredibly lazy, half-baked and inconsistent world-building, paired it with Baby's First Political Commentary and the silliest twist ending I've encountered in a while; all of it equating to two less-than-halves of a novel. Also, the conceit of the

social-climbing

plot of one of the four POV characters would have been so much more believable if the characters had been adults. Instead, we're supposed to believe that

she has been manoeuvering to marry the prince since she was FOURTEEN.

The only good thing I can say for this book is that I did finish it.

How relatable and painful Beatrice and Sam are. I didn’t find Nina too relatable but Bea and Sam was so relatable it fuckin hurts. <spoilers> King George IV’a death was so painful tho

Can I kick Daphne in the nose? No? But I though everyone hated her!!!

Like she LITERALLY thinks about how she slept with her pray ex-boyfriends best friend while trying to get back to the ex, while the ex’s father who also happens to be HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS is literally dying of lung cancer.

Please, please, please fuck off.
