relaxing fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

the dialogue felt unnatural at times, and the plot was really predictable, but it was a fun and easy read. i think it sufferred from too many perspectives (4), i honestly wish the whole thing was beatrice’s story since hers was definitely the most interesting/enjoyable to me.

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.
