The Princess Problem by Christi Barth
3.0
Okay was this unrealistic? Yes. Was it cliché? Yes. Has 2020 been a year for me reading romance as escapism from the chaotic climate we are in? YES.
I see why people compared this to a grown-up Princess Diaries in concept it is, in execution, it isn't. The greatest flaw of the Princess Problem is that some aspects seem underdeveloped. I wish we had seen more to Kelsey and Mallory's life in New York and established more of their relationship dynamic before they got whisked away. I also think it would have been interesting to see a sort of grieving process from Kelsey and Mallory finding out they are not biological sisters. I think this would have made this more grounded in reality. This book is apart of a series and I am sure some of the characters are developed further throughout. I think what I liked about this book is how it highlighted different kinds of love siblings, parent and child and romantic. Was this book perfect of course not but it was a really good time.
