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

I was anticipating a Red White & Royal Blue meets The Selection but instead it was boring and it lagged sooo much.
It was also very frustrating how NONE of the plot points tied up at the end and I def don’t want to read the sequel.
Just all around such an unsatisfying read.

However there was so much more potential to explore how having a monarchy affected American history rather than a wink wink nudge nudge things like the Louisiana purchase still happened
