Though I was a bit skeptical in the beginning, my bookclub mates convinced me to relax a little, and I supposed they were right. Once I did, I had a ton of fun! I really like all the characters honestly, they all have such charm and warmth, and the comedy hit in a lot of parts. The emotional beats made me cry, especially towards the ending, but also whenever they talked about their feelings or there was a big fight (like the christmas family fight? Tears). In general, I really liked that it had comedy AND political intrigue. Also, damn this book for making me like the fictional royal family 😂.
