Her Royal Highness by Rachel Hawkins
4.0

Okay so basically I’m going to write this review twice. One from the perspective of my closeted twelve year old self and the other from my mostly outed current self.

12 year old me- 5. Freaking. Stars. GAHHHHHH. This book was so freaking good and it made me so very happy and I really just cannot wait to pick it up again and reread it. I loved all of the characters and THE ROMANCE???? AHHH!!! I’ve never read a book with a wlw relationship before and this one was represented so well and it really melted my heart reading about two out and proud girls. I loved the setting and the characters and the plot was good as well as the witty banter. The story was so sweet and it’s probably one of my favorite favorite books!

Current me- 4 stars. This book was very good and I enjoyed it a lot. Even though it was cheesy and very cliché, it was a story that I think needed to be written. How long did I spend imitating princes with their princesses in front of the mirrors as a young child? So long. To have this book now, it feels like a small part of my childhood has been bridged, or at least fixed. I loved the relationship between the two main characters and the story itself was adorable. However, the writing style was a bit bland and I felt that the plot dragged on a little bit. However, I absolutely adored the relationship. It was a quick read and this book made me very happy by filling a hole I didn’t know was in my heart from never seeing wlw princess couples as a child.
