Bi American girl in love with rocks and Scotland tries to get over a breakup by going to Scottish private school known for being tough--and filled with snobby elitist students.
Of course her roommate is a princess.
Of course they're nothing alike, so have no chance of getting along.
OR DO THEY?
Fun, funny, full of beautiful clothes and interesting people and small kindnesses and some swoony stuff. Really great read with some positive messaging, too. Loved it!

I was going to rate this higher until the end. All the minor storylines in the book weren’t resolved!! And Millie makes some really questionable choices. Otherwise, I did enjoy it and it was cute and fun. Suppppper slow burn though.

Me gusto el libro pero aquí el problema es que vendían un tipo de romance hermoso y creo que fue tanto rollo desde el inicio y tan pocas páginas del libro que realmente se pudo extender un poco más y con más escenas de romance :(

This was a cute sapphic romance! I feel like this kind of plots aren’t usual to sapphic romances and although it was a Y/A, I didn’t hate the writing. I wouldn’t say there’s anything remarkable about this book but enjoyable enough. I’d love some more Scottish surroundings and I did think the end felt rushed compared to the rest of the book. 3 cheesy stars.

Sorry folks, I didn't get the hype with this one.
What it's about: Her Royal Highness is a YA sapphic slice-of-life romance between a princess and a Texan. The book follows Millie, a bisexual teenager, as she has her heart broken, meets new friends, develops a crush, and tries wearing tartan.
What I thought: if you have ever dreamed of dating a princess at a mouldering boarding school in the Scottish Highlands, then this is the book for you.
The school has all the fixings, it's like Hogwarts and Cackle's Academy all rolled up into one (minus the witches). There are also plenty of royals and royal-adjacents, but that is never an issue. Our ingénue Millie may be the only "normie" in her friendship group, but absolutely no-one cares.
I suppose that in a weird way, this is the kind of nice and life-affirming story some of us really need. Unfortunately, my reading tastes are neither nice nor life-affirming, and so I was bored to tears.
Then there is the attempt at enemies-to-lovers, but really, Flora's issue is always with the school and never Millie. This could have been interesting, except it gets dropped half-way through the book. The school too (as a setting) could have been great, but that too is never fully developed. Then there's Millie being Texan, which has precisely zero impact on the story.
TL;DR: not for me, but maybe give it a go if you love royals.
