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.

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 so disappointing..
I was anticipating a Red White & Royal Blue meets The Selection but instead it was boring and it lagged sooo much. 

It was also very frustrating how NONE of the plot points tied up at the end and  I def don’t want to read the sequel. 

Just all around such an unsatisfying read. 

 also, are we really supposed to sympathize with a girl who drugged her friend and committed MANSLAUGHTER?! <spoiler/>

Read as a soapy drama, I liked it.  It was interesting to switch characters perspectives and see how things got trapped and separated from each other
However there was so much more potential to explore how having a monarchy affected American history rather than a wink wink nudge nudge things like the Louisiana purchase still happened
