I liked the book overall. My only complaint is

that the kings cancer was diagnosed so unexpectedly, from experience of having a family member with lung cancer I think it would have been better to have some signs of him getting sick beforehand.

but otherwise I loved it.

Was a great book but the ending was such a let down. I haven't even read a summary of the second book but I can guarantee you I know exactly what will happen. Im going to end the series with this book. But I did enjoy each chapter being the perspectives of different characters!

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.
