Her Royal Highness by Rachel Hawkins

Her Royal Highness (Royals, #2)

by Rachel Hawkins

Millie Quint is devastated when she discovers that her sort-of-best friend/sort-of-girlfriend has been kissing someone else. Heartbroken and ready for a change of pace, Millie decides to apply for scholarships to boarding schools…the farther from Houston the better.

Soon, Millie is accepted into one of the world’s most exclusive schools, located in the rolling highlands of Scotland. Here, the country is dreamy and green; the school is covered in ivy, and the students think her American-ness is adorable.

The only problem: Mille’s roommate Flora is a total princess.

She’s also an actual princess. Of Scotland.

At first, the girls can’t stand each other, but before Millie knows it, she has another sort-of-best-friend/sort-of-girlfriend. Princess Flora could be a new chapter in her love life, but Millie knows the chances of happily-ever-afters are slim…after all, real life isn’t a fairy tale…or is it?

Quite short, and a bit lacking in character development due to that, but it's nice finally getting a cheesy, cliché romcom-esque story with a f/f couple, especially one where the angst doesn't come solely from it being a not-straight relationship.

There was also less boarding school and more traipsing around Scotland than I was expecting, but Scotland's a lovely place and Millie's reactions were quite realistic, so I didn't mind too much.

Overall a nice, fluffy, easy read (also the cover really is quite nice)
