The Royal We by Jessica Morgan, Heather Cocks
2.0

This book was incredibly superficial. It takes place over seven years and yet there's no character development, except that a few characters became worse, for really no explanation. I was especially disappointed in Lacey, and how the authors paid so little attention to her motivations (one of the downfalls of first person narrative, I guess).

My biggest issue was how nearly every problem in the book could have been solved by everyone just talking to one another. The last part of the book was so superfluous, had Bex just been honest, which, frankly, is something you should do with the person you're about to marry.

I mean this is a published fanfiction about Kate Middleton if she were an American, so I was expecting to come into this book and absolutely love it and not take it too seriously. And yet I'm still pretty disappointed.
