I enjoyed the plot, liked the book's premise, and didn't mind the swapped perspectives because it was done well. I was excited about the YA romance inspired by The Princess Diaries and read the book with my teenage godson. I loved that Jamie and Erik's family and friends were supportive of them especially as they're hitting adulthood. I would have liked a tad more from King Alexander & Queen Maria because Jamie's birth story along with his bio-mom deserved to be told a bit more, no doubt it would have had a tremendous impact on Jamie. Jamie's friends also could have been included a bit more because they seem fascinated, especially Max!
It would have been a 4 star read but the last chapter and epilogue felt flat and rushed for me. ARC was provided by the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
