Danni, the poor American scholarship student, is fleeing a bad school experience. Princess Rosemary is trying to rebuild her reputation and repair some broken friendships after a scandalous tragedy in Amsterdam. Falling into each other's arms in this
Princess Diaries-like fantasy isn't going to be easy, but no worries. Boarding school with a royal is really just like American public high school, but you get to wear a tiara! In other words, pure and unabashed escapism with lots of angst around friendships and a few serious concerns about coming out.
It's sweet and fun. At times quite steamy and sexy (the cover probably is enough to get the book banned across Florida!), we never quite forget that these are teens with all the strong and serious feels. Grownups are generally in the background and useless.
The novel was wildly entertaining and worth a read. But there's not a serious bone in its storyline, despite some intimations at the end that a lesbian queen might just be the thing to shake up a stagnant monarchy.
