The Swedish Prince by Karina Halle
3.0
Kind of annoying. Kind of cute.
The Swedish Prince was a bit predictable. It also had some annoying characters and some weird ass stuff just thrown in there. It follows Maggie and Viktor and their kind of cute romance. Both characters suffer from some tragic family event in their lives and they somehow find love between the mess - sort of instantly.
Maggie, was living in NYC and about to finish school with a Journalism degree. Well, until one night when she gets a dreaded phone call about her parents, and dog, being brutally murdered. She leaves school instantly and goes hope to help raise her siblings. She doesn't get the greatest job ever, she's a maid for a hotel, because she has no degree. However, that doesn't stop her from working hard to save as much money as she can to help her little siblings out. The oldest brother Pike, about 19 years old, is working as well since he isn't in school and didn't go to College either. However, life still sucks and her younger siblings definitely give her hell.
Then there's Viktor who is grieving over his older brother's sudden death. He found him and still hasn't dealt with what happened. He's also the crown prince and heir to the throne now. Of course he starts acting out - which causes his parents to send him away with a secret identity. Then he meets Maggie, unexpectedly, and the two start a little cute romance.
From then on, you meet her siblings and his parents. Out of them all, April was the one I liked the least. She was acting out so much, like a teenager, but she took it to the extreme. Yeah, she didn't want to live in the house where her parents died.. but they didn't have the money to move. They were poor and she was just making matters worst. Until the end, she got a little bit better but that's about it.
Overall, it was cute. Predictable, but cute. They got their happy ending and that's all I can really say. I'm glad that they could lean on each other and deal with what happened in their pasts.
