Five Word Book Review: Oops, we did it again.

Picking up after their decision to marry on a Greek island despite a comet very much *not* destroying Earth in the first book, The Prince & the Apocalypse, we find Wren Wheeler preparing for her freshman year of college at home in Chicago and the crown prince Theo back in England preparing to…King. 

But Wren isn’t happy; not only does she feel rudderless among so many people with a plan, she desperately misses Theo…I mean their apocalypse dog, Comet. That’s the only reason she’s obsessively reading news online about the royal family. Really. I swear.

So when Theo and siblings arrive in Canada for a “walkabout”, Wren hatches a plan to dognap Comet and maybe get the chance to talk to her long lost husband who has been radio silent since they parted ways in Greece.

But guys? Tragedy, chaos, and excitement follows these kids around because after a car chase and some tense and tentative reconciliations, they end up stranded on a remote volcanic island after a plane crash. As one does.

And so Theo, along with brother Henry and sister Victoria, and Wren, along with sister Brooke and BFF Naomi have to figure out how to get rescued, how to outrun lava, and what to do when they return to civilization.

Can Theo and Wren find a happily ever after? 

This is a super fun, action packed adventure romcom that continues with the deadpan humor and wry exchanges among all of our characters that began in the first book. You’ll be rooting for Theo as he does his best to extricate himself from his royal duty.
