American Royals by Katharine McGee
5.0

I loved this novel this tells the tale of if America had a royal family instead of presidents. I found it a hybrid of the princesses diaries and gossip girl, who wouldn't love that!

My favourite part was probably the end (cant say too much without spoiling it) but I could completely visualise it almost to the point where I had cast the actors in my head!

Most of the couples seemed well matched and I really liked that the sisters sis end up communicating as so many stories now depend on the characters misunderstanding the situation and being too afraid to talk to the other people.

There were so many loveable characters but my favourites were Bee, Conner and Samantha. I know a lot of people dislike Daphne but I did feel sorry for her with all the pressure on her. However I really really did not like Nina's character, I felt she was selfish and could have brought so much more to the story with being one of the only "commoners" to feature prominently.

Cant wait for book 2 coming out next year!
