A review by geowhaley
The Rules of Royalty by Cale Dietrich

3.5

My Recommendation: Definitely a read from me. It's cute and Erik and Jamie were adorable and perfect together. I loved that they were different enough but both grew into their own in the story without having to lose themselves in their families or their royal identities. There were so many minor characters that I loved and wanted to know more about, but Dietrich left us wanting just enough. Dietrich has also evolved as an author, this one has a bit more finesse and polish than his last solo novel I read, The Friend Scheme.

My Response: Imagine the Princess Diaries, but gay, with a few more edits and that's what you get here, and I loved it. I accepted this galley at some point last year and finally got around to it on vacation in March.*

Seriously, imagine on your 17th birthday your adoptive mother is like oh heyyyy remember how I've been open with you about your mom. Well your mom actually wanted me to keep all of this LIFE CHANGING INFORMATION FROM YOU. As if you weren't going through enough issues as a gay teen, throw in that you're apparently also a crown prince of a small European country, yeah oof.
