5/5 STARS Where do I even start? How do I sum up everything I feel for this book in one single review? I cannot write down the noises of joy I made throughout reading it. I can't draw either of the two times i actually hugged it. A ramble of a review will have to do. Coming from someone who lives in England, who has only ever visited the US and never lived there, the political climate over the past few years has been like watching a car crash over and over again and not being able to do a damn thing to change it. But then, as awful as the political situation makes me feel it must be even worse to have to live under it as an american, although i think we can all agree that England isn't exactly having a good time right about now either lmao dear lord we're all in trouble. Anyway, when my friend recommended this book to me, I was instantly attached to the idea of it. I bought it a couple of hours after we talked about it and it arrived on a Thursday. Today is Friday, so it took me literally 24 hours to read. I've never been more thankful for having the day off work haha. I knew from the start I was going to like it, because how could I not? A love story between a prince of England and the first son? LGBT representation, political tension, strong kick ass female characters (who i now have many many crushes on god bless) including a female president? Sign me tf up. What I couldn't anticipate though was how the book made me feel. How raw it felt in places, how sweet, how painful, how beautifully written. Unlike this review, which is a mess because i literally just finished reading it and my head is a complete mess assdfghhjkk. What I'm trying to say is this book is a god damned blessing. I want everyone to read it. I want every lgbt person especially, and every woman or girl, to read it. I'm bisexual and a girl and so thirsty for representation on both of those aspects so I can promise you, if you're anything like me you'll adore this just as much as i do. I don't want to go into too many plot details, because watching the story and the characters unfold was part of the charm, and i don't want to wax on and on about the same thing, so I'll end this review here, with this; we should have a better world than we do, i'm sad for america and i'm sad for the world, i'm sad for what could have been, should have been. This book, though a little bittersweet in its fiction, gave me back a bit of the hope i've lost in recent years. It was chicken soup for the soul.
