4.5
So I gave this book 4.5 stars.
The reason is the ending. The ending to me fell off and it sucked. I did like their love story and they were compatible to me. It was believable and cute. The fact that they had tension this long from when they were kids is so funny to me.
The side character mostly the sisters and the best friends I loved. They helped move this story along to me. I did like his dad honestly. Now their moms were a different story. Miss President I actually didn't like her until the end especially her dismissing her daughter's career. That to me was a low blow honestly.
The queen and future king sucked and his mom set by for years doing nothing was even worse. She basically left her kids to fend for themselves. The son was hiding who he was and the daughter ended up on drugs. They were kids.
Overall I would recommend but I will say it will be a hit or miss. The chapters were very long and most of them in my opinion could have been split. To me it made the book drag a little.
