This was a rough book for me because of the heart-wrenching decisions required by the characters. The more I learn about royalty, the more I’m convinced I would never ever want a crown. I get too emotional over characters and I aches for every character who had to choose between what they truly wanted and what was expected of them.

Spoilers!......kinda.....in an abstract way 

Loved the premise though wasn't blown away by the book itself. I liked it, it was interesting and for the most part I liked the characters (though the princes ex's perspective did get annoying in parts). Will read the second mostly out of curiosity as to how it all ends, as I am quite invested in the relationships. The standout moment of this book is easily the ending! The VISUALS of the bowing and the church bells! I loved it! Stand out character: Teddy, the grace that he handles the Beatrice situation is something to be admired.

this book was really good; I did have alot of trouble getting into it in the beginning though. I found the beginning really slow but once things started to pick up it was really enjoyable.
