The Royal We by Heather Cocks, Jessica Morgan
4.0

The Royal We was a cute book.

Rebecca, aka Bex, went to Oxford and fell in love with Nick. He just happens to be the Prince of Wales. Which of course should make you think about William and Kate.. because it's basically their story. Well, someone's fanfiction version of their story. Either way it was enjoyable and cute.

Bex was adorable. I ended up really liking her before her relationship with Nick even started. Speaking of these two, their relationship was even more adorable. I liked the flow of it and how they grew to love each other.. instead of it being all instantaneous. They have a long relationship, about eight years, so it honestly made sense to make it realistic instead of just putting two and two together and make them a couple and married with 6 children and 8 dogs or something.

Their chemistry was alright - it didn't really sweep me off my feet or make me swoon. I mean, they had chemistry but it was just meh to me. Of course they try to do some normal couple stuff but those paparazzi seem to get in the way. Which if you think about it, it does tend to happen to the royal couples (especially when they were in the dating phase) but it also happens to celebrities too. I feel like I would've gotten a lot more annoyed if I was in Bex's shoes dealing with this sort of thing. I don't even like getting my picture taken... I would turn into the hulk.

Overall, it was a cute story. Definitely chick-lit material.
