The stack of books on my nightstand has been growing! I’ve basically resigned to the fact that unless I’m on a legit vacation or stuck on a plane with no Wifi, I’m not going to get a ton of reading done. 20 pages here and there is all I can muster for now. (There are some nights where I read and reread the same paragraph four times before completely falling asleep.)
The authors of The Royal We sent me a copy of the book about a month ago. I’ll be very honest with you here, I put it to the top of my reading solely because I thought the cover was perfect. (I mean, it’s adorable, right?)
Anyway, I’m not super into the whole Princess/Prince/royal thing. I couldn’t be bothered when the royal wedding went on and while I think Prince George is terribly cute, I don’t follow along. The Royal We is kind of like a fan fiction novel about Kate Middleton if Kate Middleton had been an American.
With that said, I didn’t have high expectations for liking the book… but I ended up LOVING it. Even though it’s pretty long and there are chunks that felt “missing” (the book skips years at a time), I was captivated by the story. You can’t help fall in love with the characters and root for the relationship over time.
I imagine it would be an especially great read for anglophiles! Even if you’re not though, add The Royal We to your reading list if you just want a fun, light, pretty funny love story.
The cover is absolutely adorable! I feel your pain – there are soooo many books that I want to read, but I don't have as much time to read as I would like. I joined a book club, and I'm yet to read a single book yet… Oops?!

Love the cover, definitely a book I want to read. I've been wanting to order it just haven't gotten around to doing it.

I bought this book as soon I saw it in a picture you've posted. I'm obsessed with the Royal Family and agree that the cover is sooo cute! I haven't had a chance to start reading it yet, but now I'm even more excited to dive in! Thanks.

Yes yes yes! Because of your instagram photo a while back with it wrapped with a bow, I knew I had to read it so I waited for a while from the library and I am so so glad that they sent it to you because I would have missed such an ADORABLE book. They were such a realistic (most dramatic haha) couple.

This looks so cute! I'm not a huge royal follower just like you, but this book still sounds really good! It has now been added to the ever growing list of books I need to read.

I'm with you-I would pick this book up based on the cover alone! But this looks like the perfect beach read, I'll have to pick it up before my honeymoon 🙂

I'm the same way, I have nights where I can't focus long enough to actually get absorbed into the book! I'm for sure putting this on the top of my amazon book list!
