American Royals by Katharine McGee
3.5

This book was fine but I know it wasn’t written for me. I’m a 52 year old woman. My 14 y.o. daughter read it at the same time and I think she probably liked it a lot more than me. I wish we had chapters written by Jefferson. I also can’t stand the Daphne character (which I’m sure is the point). But my biggest struggle was the Beatrice storyline. I hate how she can’t be her own person or really make her own choices. But I guess that’s the way it would be? Another frustration is the lack of communication between the royal family - between the parents, the siblings (except between Sam and Jeff who communicate the best) and between the parents and the siblings.
