A review by theinstabookworm
Spare by Prince Harry

THE GOOD: I've had an interest in the royal family ever since I was a little girl and a Spice Girls fan, because they're both from England. 😂 I loved the private memories he shared of his family, the things we wouldn't know otherwise. It was sad to learn about succession and the meaning behind "spare" as it relates to the royal family. I found it heartbreaking to hear him describe the thoughts that went through his head as he learned of his mother's death, as well as how much he wanted to believe she would come back for so long. Also, no spoilers but the laughing gas story was hilarious. 😂 

THE BAD: I could have done without the information about the frostbite on his dick. 🤢 While I sympathize with Megan and her experiences with the paparazzi, I feel like her naivety when it came to the royal family was frustrating to hear about. It's fine that she didn't follow the royal family, but if you start dating a member, wouldn't you look into it? Shouldn't you know what you're getting yourself into before you agree to marry someone? Harry paints Megan as a victim, but to some extent I think it was self-inflicted.

Favourite quote: "As a FRIENDS fanatic, the idea of crashing at Monica's was highly appealing, and amusing." 😂

THE VERDICT: Really enjoyed it.
