This was such an easy read that I ended up devouring it in one go. Who wouldn’t, when the world is exploding and there’s fluffy f/f romance to bury ourselves in? The plot was simple and that was fine, because the focus was definitely on character and relationship development, which worked really well for me. This was sold to me as rivals-to-friends-to-lovers and that was exactly the arc we took. I was really pleased when the rivals-to-friends section wasn’t hurried for the sake of romance. We got to see Flora and Millie at each other’s throats in that catty way that only teenage girls at school can manage before their relationship developed in a way that felt very natural, with a slow climb from rivals to friends and an unexpected sudden slide into love. I also liked that there were reasons for the rivalry put in place that made sense, explained Flora’s behaviour and weren’t just disappeared for the sake of romance.
All of the relationships in the book were equally satisfying and solid. Millie isn’t running away from a problem family, she’s got a family and support system that she loves. Flora and her brother have a strong, loving relationship that leads to them supporting each other rather than fighting. I just love to read about characters with healthy families behind them – long gone is the YA trope of getting the family out of the way and forgetting about them. The friendships in the book were equally satisfying and I loved Millie’s relationship with Lee, Saks and Perry. They’re wholesome, supportive friends, and I was feeling warm and fluffy the whole time I was reading. My only real criticism is that the ending felt a little rushed, and I desperately wanted to read about Flora meeting Millie’s family and friends. At least there was one single fanfiction waiting to scratch that itch.

I really enjoyed this book.
It was so much fun.
Flora & Millie were absolutely adorable and I loved seeing their friendship play out& watching their relationship develop.

Texan Millie has been mad about both geology and Scotland for a long time. After a split from her best friend who she had feelings for, Millie wins a scholarship to a boarding school in the Highlands of Scotland, which has taught the children of the Scottish royal family.
At school Millie meets Princess Flora, finding her obnoxiously difficult. Gradually their enmity changes to respect, then more.
I really like the fact that this emphasises the crush and the romance without focusing on sex. Both Millie and Flora are lovely people, only Flora has had to build a false persona to hide behind. We see the hard Flora, the glossy person for public consumption, but we also catch glimpses of the Flora that Millie sees, full of insecurities.
A really lovely story. If only we could have seen more after they make up, could see more of Millie adapting to Flora’s life, and Flora meeting Millie’s friends and family.

Absolutely brilliant read about two women finding love, it really was totally cliché and I loved it.
Exactly the book I would have wanted when I was 16, and even years later it doesn’t disappoint.
The gay does not lack or disappoint.

This is one of the cutest books I’ve ever read and then there’s the angst.
by sharon hanley
Personally the book felt very slow and I didn’t get into it until about halfway through. Even then it wasn’t a particularly satisfying story. There were basically 4 or 5 scenes that had me really enjoying the book but the rest just didn’t do it for me.

I read this in one go, because I just couldn’t put it down. Rachel has a real way with writing characters, and Millie, Saks, Perry etc are brilliant additions to her Royals universe. It made me laugh, even made me cry a bit, and the ending was PERFECT.
Really hoping there’s a Royals #3 in the works…
