ariw 's review for:
Royal Wedding
by Meg Cabot
This was... this was...
Oh god, no I can't even sugarcoat it. This was terrible.
I was only mildly disappointed up until 2/3 of the way through, at which point something happened rather similar to what you might find occurring on a highway in rush-hour traffic. Something not so terrible in itself (well...) but acting like that wanker texting while driving who doesn't notice everyone has stopped and then BAM crashes into the guy in front and then causes a whole ten-car pile up*.
Just for clarity: The wanker text-driving = the "big reveal" that - this is an actual spoiler btw - Mia is pregnant with twins.
The cars piling up behind = everything else in the book, ranging from how damn spoiled Mia actually is, the hideousness of reading about her sex-life in detail yet finding all swear words literally [REDACTED], the diabolically cringe-worthy attempts to address current affairs, the even more diabolically painful attempts to address racial politics... Alltogether added up to more of a trainwreck than a car crash to be honest.
And I loved these books as a kid. All of them, everything Meg Cabot wrote. This was the worst possible ending. I regret everything.
*No, I have not actually been in this situation but in Auckland it's a pretty plausible scenario.
