Love that Ella and Reed get to together and are actually quite stable? For most of the book. I think it was good to shift away from their relationship being the issue and move more solidly into Brooke and the family dynamic as a whole. While the fighting and sex is ofc over the top for high school I think you can suspend belief enough to be along for the ride.
Like seeing the family coming together and talking.

Ayrıca yine ilk kitap yorumumda es geçmiştim ama bu kitapta iyice gözüme sokulduğu için; ikizlerin kız arkadaş paylaşma olayı aşırı tiksinç.
Ne diyeyim ilk kitap eh kıvamındaydı bu kitap öyk.

i dropped my original, generous rating of five stars to three because - yikes. the royals are truly fucked up, yes, but someone else's review said it best: this plot is hardly fitting of high schoolers at all. it's truly over the top and definitely only falls into young adult simply because its characters are, in fact, young adults. das it.
Original 2017 Read.
This series is seriously something that must be devoured at once. I was so livid at the end of Paper Princess that I quickly picked up the following two and now that I've finished book #2, I'm diving straight into Twisted Palace.
What a gloriously fucked up family the Royals are. The drama is a bit over the top sometimes, but no one ever said entertaining had to be realistic. Reed doesn't piss me off nearly as much as he did the first time around because as the person who recommended this to me said: "oh, there's someone worse."
Understatement of the millennium, ladies and gents.
I think I may have been a little too hard on PP and it's outrageous-ness. I can't tell you that last time I sat down and read multiple books in a series in a day. The team that makes up Erin Watt does a fantastic job of making it impossible to put it down. Or maybe it's because I'm thirsty for this nonsense.
See you on the other side of Twisted Palace.

There is not much I can say about this book without spoiling it or that has not been said yet. So I make it short
Unlike the first book we get dual view…… Reed and Ella which is great and gives us the chance to get to know Reed better and what drives him.
The books starts off with Reeds POV and right or even a few minutes before the last book left us hanging…… Much of the book we know what drives him … Ella and how to make u for the ending of last book. We see how much the family really liked Ella and what an impact she made
Emma is making progress but sometimes she is just a bit annoying but then again I could see where she is coming from and understood her. Given her past.
I also liked Papa Royal a tiny bit more; we see that he is not as clueless as we might have thought. It always kind of bothered me that he seemed clueless.
Of course there us more drama in school and it wouldn’t be the same without it. We get plenty of Easton which was A OKAY t for me, since he is still my favorite Royal. We not getting much of the twins but that was okay. I always just saw them as an extension or so.
This book like that last ends with a cliffhanger and much bigger than the last. We get two things thrown at us that leave us hanging in the air. And they are both HUGE. One I had no idea and the other one I sort of saw coming and figured they could play that way. Either way a cruel way to let us hanging lol .
I rate this book 5 ★

Una de las cosas que me gusto de este libro es la relación que tienen los hermanos East y Reed.
Odie a morir a Brooke, cada que leía de ella sentía que la odiaba mas y mas, es tan cruel y manipuladora.
Se me hiso un poco pesado al principio pero despues de la mitad me gusto todo el drama, y diganme ¿como un libro puede terminar de esa manera? No puedo esperar para leer el tercero!!!!
