Library's review

A fictionalized account of the Wills and Kate Saga, if Kate was an American with a twin sister and Princess Diana was crazy not dead. More or less. The authors are the delightfully snarky brains behind the celebrity fashion site www.gofugyourself.com and I really like their writing style. I am not

a dedicated Royals watcher except for what is posted on GFY, so I have no idea of the actual history of the actual royal romance or how closely this book parallels reality. It's a fun, pretty lightweight romance that doesn't strain credulity too much (although I simply cannot imagine an American ever being in a position to meet and fall in love with the heir to the British throne while on a study abroad program), but it's an enjoyable way to pass the time.

I should say that I read this last year when it was first released, and re-read it now because the paperback has come out which includes a new "bonus" chapter. Normally I really hate that sort of gimmick (it's like including two new songs on a Greatest Hits album), but in this case I was pleasantly surprised to find that the ebook I bought last year on sale for $1.99 automatically updated with the new content at no extra cost so kudos for that, anyway.

Description

Fiction. Literature. Romance. Humor (Fiction.) HTML:An American girl finds her prince in this "fun and dishy" (People) royal romance inspired by Prince William and Kate Middleton. American Bex Porter was never one for fairy tales. Her twin sister Lacey was always the romantic, the one who daydreamed of being a princess. But it's adventure-seeking Bex who goes to Oxford and meets dreamy Nick across the hall - and Bex who finds herself accidentally in love with the heir to the British throne. Nick is wonderful, but he comes with unimaginable baggage: a complicated family, hysterical tabloids tracking his every move, and a public that expected its future king to marry a Brit. On the eve of the most talked-about wedding of the century, Bex looks back on how much she's had to give up for true love... and exactly whose heart she may yet have to break. Praise for The Royal We "Hysterical" �?? Entertainment Weekly "Full of love and humor, and delicious in too many ways." �?? Emma Straub, New York Times bestselling author "Engrossing and deeply satisfying." �?? Jen Doll, author of Save the Date… (more)
