A Prince on Paper by Alyssa Cole
4.0
emotional funny hopeful slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

I really liked Nya and Johan as characters but there were a lot of tropes in here that I disliked: "he can't possibly be interested in me," unnecessary lack of communication, commitment issues due to seeing someone else's actions....all of it was really annoying.

Otherwise, great queer rep and great examples of consent.

I hate 
Nya's dad (naturally) I wish she would have told him off when she realized he had been lying to her the whole time that he was in prison.

I had an issue with Johan not communicating with Nya 
 

Nya understandably has a lot of self doubt due to all of the trauma in her life but I love the way that she fought through it all
