Charming and funny, I read this after watching the movie and it’s my first Casey Mcquisten book. I just missed them at the National Book Festival yesterday! But I loved the characters, the history and political intrigue of them being the First Son and Prince of England and enemies to lovers, and their fight against discrimination. The one thing I wasn’t a fan of was the present tense, and it’s very dialogue heavy. Overall it’s a touching read (and the movie is great too).

Warm fuzzy feelings all the way through, though sometimes they were only an undercurrent. Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish
