4⭐️  5🩷 on T-Swift literary ranking...

American glory faded before me
Now I'm feeling hopeless, ripped up my prom dress
Running through rose thorns, I saw the scoreboard
And ran for my life....

Granted, I'm not a romance novel girl. I was curious as the premise sounded a lot like a Taylor Swift song. And it didn't disappoint.

It's you and me, that's my whole world
They whisper in the hallway, "She's a bad, bad girl" (okay)
The whole school is rolling fake dice
You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes

It should be 5 stars, buuuut the crew from the beach house kept messing with my head and confused me. And the happenstance of normal life was too long for me at times to enjoy it. But then, contemporary romance is not really my thing.

It's you and me, there's nothing like this
Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (okay)
We're so sad, we paint the town blue
Voted most likely to run away with you

Overall, it's a sweet story, entertaining, and recommendable. 

Very Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince

Question for the author: are you a swiftie?
