I really wanted to enjoy this - I needed a fun, light book inbetween series reading and this seemed like just the ticket.

But I honestly just *could not get past the dialogue.* Every other sentence just read as super cheesey or cringy to me and it made it so hard to like either of the characters.

The main character is also talking about being obsessed with this person she has spent a total of seemingly ~4 hours with and has super possessive internal dialogue about it. I almost skipped that whole chapter.

It also throws out every single "hidden royalty" romcom trope that has ever existed, but doesn't even try to add their own spin on it.

Overall, this was really frustrating for *me* to read, because I think I went into it with the wrong expectations. I think it's probably a good romcom beach read if that's what you're looking for - it just wasn't my cup of tea this week.
