This books very much gives Princess Diaries 2 and I’m here for it! I was a bit nervous to read this one because I’ve heard the series gets better as it goes, but I’m not a big fan of a slow burn. But that really didn’t matter I loved it so much! I was obsessed with Rhys obviously and I liked Bridget more than expected too! Tbh I don’t know why I thought I wasn’t going to love this because it has consumed my every thought for the past 5 days! I think it would’ve been 5 stars if not for the classic 3rd act breakup type shit but I really wasn’t even that mad given the context lol

I honestly didn’t like it as much as I thought it would. It definitely lost me for a minute there and caught myself skimming once I got to like 65%. I can’t put my finger on any dislikes though.

It is a good book. It was pretty predictable but there was a side plot that was unexpected. If yu dont like dark books and you need

a happy ending

then this book is for you.

If you are looking for a book with plot and steam and enemies to lovers and a hot book boyfriend named Rhys then yes you are in the right place. This also includes royals, real juicy scenes that put you in a chokehold when reading and great power dynamics. Let’s just say I’m a bit obsessed!!
