Prince Charming
by Rachel Hawkins
This is a light and refreshing read written by the amazing Rachel Hawkins. It’s fun and silly and definitely meant for a younger target audience.
It’s set amidst a royal marriage between an almost-perfect Floridian girl and the Crown Prince of Scotland. But… they aren’t the main characters of this deliciously royal romance. Daisy Winters is an offbeat sixteen-year-old whose older sister, Ellie, gets engaged to Scotland’s Crown Prince Alex. Daisy has no desire to live in the spotlight, but relentless tabloid attention forces her to move to the seclusion of the castle across the pond.
The Prince’s rogue younger brother, Sebastian, is appointed to teach Daisy the ropes of being regal who kicks up scandal wherever he goes, and tries his best to take Daisy along for the ride. However, Prince Sebastian isn’t Daisy’s love interest. It’s the dashing, young Miles—Sebastian’s best friend—who Daisy develops the romantic connection with. It is a slow-burn romance and a combination of the YA enemies-to-lovers trope and the fake dating trope. The crown and the intriguing Miles might be trying to make Daisy into a lady, but Daisy may just rewrite the royal rulebook to suit herself! Daisy is an incredible narrator. She is witty, funny, and points out the backward ways of royalty any chance she gets. She calls out the royal families’ antics constantly, and as a result, isn’t well-liked in the high society she is forced to become a part of.
This book definitely has the royal misfit vibe of the ‘Princess Diaries’ and it reminded me of ‘The Royal We’ by Heather Cocks to a great extent. I wouldn’t say I was mind-blown by it but this is a fun “palate-cleanser” which you need in between heavier reads - when you’re reading a high-fantasy series and you’re just bored of all the contemplation, betrayal and characteristic drama, you just need something exactly like this to keep you going.
