saloniporwal 's review for:
The Rules of Royalty
by Cale Dietrich
Possibly the best gay book I've read so far and it's incredibly heartwarming. While the story doesn't delve into the nuances of coming out as both MCs are already out, there's a lot of the "found family" trope (quite literally) I love that Jamie and Erik's relationship going from strangers to friends to crushes to boyfriends felt so organic and unrushed. Jamie's got an amazing friends' group, and his parents are fab too. I felt on multiple occasions that Erik could do with more friends in his life, but I'm so happy his brother's there for him.
I was just smiling to myself SO MANY times while reading this, I probably looked crazy to anyone looking. Pretty sure I squealed a couple times too, coz the chemistry and scenes are swoon worthy. I see some reviews about people feeling the MCs weren't developed enough, but I don't see that issue at all. I truly admire how both boys put each other over their relationships, and Jamie's interactions with his best friends show his character arc.
There's a tad too many cliches in this book and I see so many repetitions from the small number of royal romances I've read. The classic third act breakup, the somewhat stuck-up nature of some royal members, they're just meh. So yup for everything I love about this book, it isn't perfect but still worth the read.
