American Royals

sassy-steph shared a tip "⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I loved watching The Crown series on Netflix and found some similarities in this book and books after with the drama series. I enjoyed having 4 different POVs and adds a lot of story and background. The endings always had me reaching for the next book."

matt_5450 shared a tip "I didn't really like it. The writing style was mediocre. A lot of the characters seem flat and don't seem to have a real motivation behind their actions (ex daphne). It ended up being more of a romance novel than i thought. It kept on going longer than I feel was necessary (idk, maybe the following novels are better with that?) Also, it feels like only non white main character (nina) was clearly written by a white person and main lgbt representation (her moms) were written by a straight person."

helloitsfiona shared a tip "I loved the first book of this series. Absolutely captivating and really good writing. The second book was OK, but I can barely get through the third book. I feel like the author was just dragging on the story at this point.What are y’all’s opinions?"

gabriella_levy_9132 shared a tip "It’s was ok, I’ve read this book awhile ago and honestly I’m already starting to forget these charters, they don’t really stick with you. The plot was pretty good. I do remember that I liked the romance for the most part, but some of it seemed kind of dry. Like I remember getting angry at the prince for like not being in love enough to even consider the possibility of what she was saying was true. And she didn’t feel human to me, like where’s the passion the anger the feeling of betrayal…"

jennifer_elwell shared a tip "The start of a whimsical series full of drama, intrigue, love, and lies that one expects when they read about the royal family - even a pretend one!"

zoe_maher shared a tip "I liked it! It’s pretty predictable, but in a nice way. It had Gossip Girl meets Lifetime Christmas movie vibes to me. It was simple enough that I didn’t feel like I was missing out on the experience of reading it while I was listening on audiobook."

drea_f_5185 shared a tip "again, personality heavy and romance heavy, heavy in romance and relationships rather than action but if you’re into romance and drama this is an awesome book for you!"

maddy_joy32 shared a tip "It’s OK, I definitely enjoyed how the author rewrote American history, and the subtle jabs to democracy, but at the end of the day it’s about the relationships, which is probably why I’m not crazy about it, but I think it’s definitely a good romance book (especially with how the point of view shifts between the characters) if you’re looking for one."

avery_k13 shared a tip "I love how this book had a real life vibe to it. I really felt like it was something actually happening here in the world. I also really enjoyed the different perspectives and all the drama of the royal family"

keaghan_banaitis shared a tip "I think that this concept is so interesting, and the way McGee draws potential parallels between the current US and the US she created in the book is extremely satisfying. It was the sort of book that made me want to yell at the characters, seeing as I had information they didn’t, and the tension was so, so good."

awesome_user_704419 shared a tip "I loved this book until I heard about the sequel. Not worth reading the sequel it undoes everything that happened in the first book."

mimi724 shared a tip "This book is SO GOOD!!! I started reading one day because I was bored, but I could not put it down. The sequel was also incredible, but the ending broke my heart a little."

andrew_beardsley shared a tip "I'm a history fan and have an interest in royal intrigue so the idea of an alternate history with an American Royal Family really caught my eye. I read it faster than any book I've read in almost 15 years and by the end of it I was curious to see where the family goes but I also want more of the history of this world. It was fun to read and I had a hard time putting it down. Can't wait to fer ahold of the sequel."
