Book synopsis
What if America had a royal family? If you can’t get enough of Harry and Meghan or Kate and William, meet American princesses Beatrice and Samantha. Perfect for fans of Red, White, and Royal Blue and The Royal We!
Two princesses vying for the ultimate crown.
Two girls vying for the prince’s heart.
This is the story of the American royals.
When America won the Revolutionary War, its people offered General George Washington a crown. Two and a half centuries later, the House of Washington still sits on the throne. Like most royal families, the Washingtons have an heir and a spare. A future monarch and a backup battery. Each child knows exactly what is expected of them. But these aren’t just any royals. They’re American.
As Princess Beatrice gets closer to becoming America’s first queen regnant, the duty she has embraced her entire life suddenly feels stifling. Nobody cares about the spare except when she’s breaking the rules, so Princess Samantha doesn’t care much about anything, either . . . except the one boy who is distinctly off-limits to her. And then there’s Samantha’s twin, Prince Jefferson. If he’d been born a generation earlier, he would have stood first in line for the throne, but the new laws of succession make him third. Most of America adores their devastatingly handsome prince . . . but two very different girls are vying to capture his heart.
Review below
this was a very enjoyable read, with a lot of drama and such a fascinating take on what it would be like if America had a royal family ruling instead of a president. before going into this book I was so interested as I loved the concept of the book and I love reading about royalty.
so in this book we follow the lives of the royal children and their personal engagements with the family and friends and how flawed and unroyally they all are behind closed doors. from the first chapter we already see the drama building within the family and as for some people that can be a turn off in books to have too much drama I quite enjoyed it. yes throughout this book there are moments where this book has many flaws and not liking the characters but overall this book is such a great book about a dysfunctional family and the trials and tribulations of royal life and how many different rules they have to partake to and stand by so their reputation is ruined.
the issues I had about this book were some of the characters were naive and some of their actions against each other throughout this book were a bit too dramatic for me.
but one thing I did enjoy was the relationships throughout the book and how more developed I hope they become in the next book (which I didn’t even know this was gonna be more than one book ).
overall this is a very quick and fun contemporary that if u need a book that gives you royalty,drama, flawed characters and a dysfunctional family this book Is one for you. I’m very intrigued for the next book and excited to see where the next book will go.
