Review:

For some reason, I was reluctant to read this book, and I have no idea why! I had built it up in my head as having some sort of problematic element to it, but I didn’t notice anything. I thought it was an amazing book with fabulous characters and a wonderful ending. I loved the relationship between the two main characters and how supportive the parents were by the end. I really wish actual royal families were like this because it would make life so much easier. It goes back to that question that Red, White, and Royal Blue brought up what would happen if a royal was queer? I really enjoyed reading this book, and I think it does a great job showing the depth of the characters and the struggle they face.
