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.

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.

This was a fun drama filled read. I really only liked Beatrice and Conner. Sam was a little to self centered for me but she was fine( I don’t really feel her romance to be honest). Nina was fine but honestly a little boring(I also feel like her romance was just there to be there). And Daphne I hate she’s literally horrible.
