Thank you to Penguin for this book in exchange for an honest review
Synopsis:
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.
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:
This book took me completely by surprise. Not going to lie, I thought it would be extremely chick-flickie that my inner man child would want throw around a basketball to keep my reputation intact.
American Royals is told from for intriguing and interesting POV’s; Beatrice (Queen to be), Samantha (Beatrice’s younger sister), Nina (Samantha’s BFF), and Daphne (a noble). Through these four POV you get to see the pressures, expectations and general everyday female issues in a modern day society. You get to see the lack of privacy that our characters go through, with every single movement they make being seen by the public and scattered across pages of magazines.
Over the course of the book you see our characters grow independently and in force with each other by their sides.
The plot was really well thought out and fast paced, so at no point did it focus too much of dialogue and dull situations. This book is an honest page turner and I recommend that you get on it. This book does not disappoint.
