Bex and Nick are such great characters. I loved how it went thru 8 years of their relationship and you saw them in different parts of that. I loved their friend group, and that for a book I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy, I did. I am jumping right into The Heir Affair tomorrow to continue this!

Now, I don't particularly care about the goings-on of the royal family. I never have. In fact, I've never really enjoyed reading royal-related fiction for that reason. I don't know, it just doesn't interest me. However, this book definitely had me wondering what would happen next. It had an almost Gossip Girl vibe to it with the level of drama and backstabbing, so naturally, it was weirdly addictive.
It was slow. Like molasses slow. I can't for the life of me understand why the author didn't break this book up into two books (or even three). There were plenty of "cliffhanger" moments that it could've ended on and I definitely would've picked up the next novel to find out what happens. I listened to the audiobook and it just dragged on. Yep, I wanted to know what would happen, but I also kept wishing it would end. So naturally, when it got to the end, I was a mixture of relieved and curious about The Heir Affair.
I definitely plan to physically read the sequel because I think I'll be able to get through it much quicker and hopefully that will help me really get into the story.
