This is the second Sophie Gonzales book I've read, and I really enjoy her writing!

I love a queer royal romance, and I found her note in the beginning of the book about how she actually wrote this before they were a big thing quite interesting.

Rose and Dani are both good characters, their romance is believable and they're likable and sympathetic. I found the boarding school in a random generic European country setting super entertaining. The back story was heavy but handled well without becoming preachy.

There were two things I struggled with a bit when reading this, the first one being that it was kinda strangely pro-monarchy. I mean I guess how can it not be, and it's supposed to be very light hearted princess diaries vibe, but it still just felt a bit strange for my palate. 

Then the other thing I struggled a bit with, the romance scenes were not graphic, but they were a bit more descriptive than I personally would want for a book about teenagers. 

Overall, this was a super fun and entertaining book that I'd definitely recommend. Thanks to the publisher for the advanced copy!
