A review by leighannaz
American Royals by Katharine McGee

3.0

I enjoyed this book well enough while I was reading it, but after I finished I had a hard time coming up with what exactly I liked about it. It has enough drama to keep you entertained, but nothing particularly interesting or surprising. There’s not much plot, so all the conflict comes from the many love triangles/the characters trying to decide between the path that’s expected of them or their forbidden love. Which is pretty much exactly what I was expecting from this book, so I’m not mad about that; the problem is that the romances aren’t particularly special or well-developed, so I wasn’t rooting for them. When she has to choose between love or the crown, I wanted her to pick the crown. I never felt myself being sucked into the romance, I just wished all the ladies would forget the guys and move on because they clearly aren’t worth the trouble.
