The ending was way too fast and cringy, and what’s more, it felt like a complete rip-off of the ending of the movie The Prince and Me.īut that set aside, I adored this queer feel-good book with great characters and a charming, fast-paced and addictive story. My main problem though, and the reason for giving this book four stars instead of five, was the disappointing ending. The minor parts referring to events in the first book are so well explained that you understand them perfectly anyway.) (Her Royal Highness is a companion book, not really a sequel, to Prince Charming and works fine as a standalone though. It was also great to get to meet the characters from the first book again, especially Daisy and Miles. It was slow burn and actually quite realistic (despite the fact that there are no royals in Scotland…) and I rooted so much for both Millie and Flora, and Millie’s new friends at school.

Millie’s and Flora’s journey from enemy roommates to friends and more was very well executed. It all felt very fresh, yet sweet and heartwarming. I also loved the queer perspective as an antipole to all ordinary stories with the common girl falling for the handsome prince. I absolutely loved the witty banter and the way Mille stood up to Flora and was (almost) completely unimpressed with her royal heritage. But the loathing and mutual dislike soon turns into a friendship and something more… One that is spoilt, high-key and totally reckless. What she didn’t expect though was to share rooms with a real princess.

Texan girl Millie Quint takes the chance to leave her broken heart behind when she gets a scholarship for a posh Scottish boarding school.
