Royal Bully & Ruthless Princess by Rachel Van Dyken
2.0

Okay. While I had zero issues with Junior and Serena’s relationship, everything around it was annoying and confusing. Goodreads told me I didn’t need to read the Elite series before this series and that was a lie. I feel like there was so much back story that required explanation that this book is not a standalone! Also this is supposed to be a mafia but I literally have no idea what this family business is, nor I do understand the makeup and dynamic of all the families from this story alone! Basically, it’s possible that this book could have been better if I had read the Elite series but I didn’t because I was told I didn’t have to. Kind of disappointed.

Ps: because I have no idea what the family business was or really who the enemies were, most of the book just felt like kids playing at being mafiosos.
