Like she LITERALLY thinks about how she slept with her pray ex-boyfriends best friend while trying to get back to the ex, while the ex’s father who also happens to be HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS is literally dying of lung cancer.Graphic: Medical content, Cancer, Classism, Death of parent, Infidelity, Toxic relationship, and Grief

Loved the premise though wasn't blown away by the book itself. I liked it, it was interesting and for the most part I liked the characters (though the princes ex's perspective did get annoying in parts). Will read the second mostly out of curiosity as to how it all ends, as I am quite invested in the relationships. The standout moment of this book is easily the ending! The VISUALS of the bowing and the church bells! I loved it! Stand out character: Teddy, the grace that he handles the Beatrice situation is something to be admired.

I kind of hated the sisters-fighting-over-a-guy storyline. It makes me uncomfortable and feels very unrealistic—what kind of sister would do that??Happy ending meter (no specific spoilers, just the general vibe of the ending):

Cliffhanger-y! I hadn’t realized that there was a sequel, so I was expecting more resolution...good thing I got the next one from the library super quick!Moderate: Alcohol, Bullying, Cancer, Death, and Death of parent
