The Rules of Royalty by Cale Dietrich
3.0
The Rules of Royalty is a YA contemporary romance inspired by The Princess Diaries. This is the third novel I've read by Dietrich alone (having read another that was co-written). The story follows two princes who spend the summer together; Erik has grown up a prince and is tasked with tutoring Jamie, who has only recently learned that he is a prince, in the ways of royalty. There were no surprises for me knowing what it was inspired by; it was an easy, quick read that proceeds exactly as you would expect.
My main concerns with this book were the lack of a major conflict and the voices of Erik and Jamie. The conflict that arises was a little too easily solved, and their voices were so similar in tone and content that it felt a bit like they were speaking to themselves at times.
Overall, this was a cute story that felt very much like a beach read.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to review this ARC!
