I had read some less than stellar reviews of this book when it first published, but I decided to give it a try when I saw it available on my library’s Overdrive last month. It was a super cute and quick read about a commoner engaging with a royal family. Daisy was a plucky, sassy narrator. I loved her struggles to connect to her sister. I have an older sister, I can only imagine the trials our relationship would face in the same situation. Daisy’s parents were also a highlight – her dad actually reminded me of my dad (long gray hair included).
The romance is pretty low key. Honestly, I had to read the synopsis again halfway through the book just to remember who I was supposed to be rooting for romance-wise. I wish Miles had more interaction with Daisy prior to their fake dating. They seemed to go from enemies to lovers a little too quickly for my taste. However, their ending was absolutely perfect for them as a couple and as individuals.
tl;dr A fun, quick romance perfect for people having royalty wedding withdrawals.
