This was so cute and it feels relatable. The main characters were fun to follow (some more than others). I thought the ending was really fast and underwhelming.

‘It must be a misunderstanding,’ she kept saying, shaking her head. ‘If you’d just talk to him—’
‘I’m not going to talk to him!’ Gwen had shouted.
This book did not make may sense to me. The characters felt much younger than they were, and the setting .... This might have worked if the characters were from modern business families or something like that, but they did not fit the medieval setting at all. No regard for their place in the world, common social norms, court politics et. Maybe my parents expectations were too high.
I really should've DNFed this one. Every character is one-dimensional stereotypes that I never grew to like. At all.
Well, there was a tiny pice at around 50% of the book where the characters suddenly started communicating, and it was great! But then they went straight beck to being insufferable. It's great that we have more queer romance, but this book was a massive disappointment.
I will end this rant by including some words from one of the main characters, which I felt truly describes every single character during this entire book: I have decided to make a series of poor decisions

I cannot express how much I loved this book. Everything about it made my heart sing. Gwen and Arthur were such babies, whose sarcastic wit and absurd charm made me cackle with laughter. This was everything I wanted in a queer historical romance and then even more. It may be my new favorite book!
My biggest complaint was that I think Gabriel should have given up the throne so Gwen and Bridget could rule instead! I think they would be the better rulers tbh.
