How to Save a Queendom by Jessica Lawson

4.0

Thank you Simon and Schuster Canada for the ARC! I absolutely loved this book and I fell in love with Stub's character and Beaman's cooking. This book also has a bit of focus on family like how there's lots of different types of family and how a found family is just as legit as blood relations. I loved all the character development that happens throughout the book with Stub learning to trust and stand up for herself and Beaman gaining some courage. Also I'm just going to state again that Beaman's cooking sounded so flipping delicious and I need a cookbook companion to this book. Please. For the plot, there's a lot that happens especially in the second half of the book. I felt a bit like something was off with the writing or what was happening in the story which put me off a little but it was still entertaining for the most part and I was not expecting any of the plot twists that happened. The ending, like last couple pages, literally made me tear up a little because it was just so emotional and sweet. Overall this is a really great story and regardless of the writing I highly recommend it!
