y'all hetero bitches take been getting "I'm falling in dear with a man whoops turns out he'south a prince" stories for YEARS and finally, finally us sapphics got ours. "...No, what surprises me is the sudden, jolting, and undeniable realization that even I didn't want to, I've fallen for an actual princess."
THIS WAS SO FREAKIN Beautiful. I was pretty much just expecting an easy, fluffy, sweet read most girls in dear and THAT IS WHAT I GOT. I loved the boarding school setting and the set up-upwards of the relationship betwixt Flora and Millie. Essentially, they're assigned the same dorm room just instantly don't get along very well.
I can definitely see the criticisms for this book - the writing is probably not my favourite and the end of the book happens in a rush. I didn't mind where it went, but they definitely jumped from "getting together" to "badly in beloved" way to quick.
That said, I don't really care because I had such a fun fourth dimension reading this. I substantially only came here for the enemies-to-friends-to-lovers and there is A LOT of build up and tension in this book and then information technology was bang-up. I also really loved the side characters. Just most of all, I loved Flora and Millie together. Their banter was sugariness and they complimented eachother well.
For a quick and fluffy read I'd recommend, and if you liked Red, White & Royal Blue you should read information technology.

The issue with this book is that the pacing is completely off.

Information technology's all fun and gaymes until you realize y'all could have have rewritten approximately a third of the book, and information technology would have ended upwards 5x better, despite not even being a one-half-decent writer.The result with this book is that the pacing is completely off. I honestly would have rated it higher if the pacing hadn't been so weird and janky, because it'due south a fluffy book that you could only accept a lot of fun reading. But my slight enjoyment of the book couldn't compete with how there's pretty much zero development of the human relationship afterwards the characters get together, or how the catastrophe was precipitous, unsatisfying, and felt unfinished, or how the volume jumps from i matter to another with seemingly no buildup or growth.
I think this was meant to be a very low-cal and fluffy book purely for enjoyment, which is fine, and it mostly was! Millie and Flora were definitely cute together, and it was a decently entertaining read. I was never actually bored with the book, only frustrated that it was inadequately written, and I liked the characters' barrack. (Though it was annoying that some side characters were and then relevant at sure times, and and so didn't even seem to exist at others.) The writing was besides really like shooting fish in a barrel to read, which I specially appreciated since I was slumping, and there were some scenes I thought were super cute.
Overall, even so, I felt a very large disconnect from the story and characters and didn't actually care when something major happened, most likely because of the insufficient buildup to said events. And when I'k not invested in the characters, that throws everything off and diminishes my enjoyment of the volume by a lot.
Truly, this book could have been written and so much amend, and it had and then much more potential beyond what it was actually able to accomplish. If you're looking for a quick fun f/f book to read, this might exist the one for you. Merely it'southward more likely that your enjoyment will be hindered by its lack of development and poor writing overall.

edit: I wanted to add together that if you but want an easy to read sapphic romance with a HEA, then this book fits that bill perfectly!Between the lack of character development, plot development, world-edifice, pacing, research into scottish & wider british culture, and a lackluster romance - I just couldn't help but feel disappointed by this.
Flora and Saks were literally the only two interesting and slightly developed characters. Millie just spent the entire novel either gushing over Scotland (bordering fetishization, she literally calls it "Scottish-Fever"), calling Flora cute or talking virtually how different she is from Flora for coming from a poorer groundwork.
There was but no wider plot either. it simply didn't... make sense? Plus, the irregular pacing didn't help the novel whatsoever, information technology actually hindered the novel. (i.e. Capacity i-iii really could've been simply Chapter 1.) I didn't see the need for a 274-page book to have 39 capacity. I as well feel like the ending was a tad rushed and completely concluded unsatisfyingly and too soon.
I feel like this volume needed the following:
i - restructuring of capacity to make them longer
2 - at to the lowest degree 100 more pages to flesh out the characters and add necessary world-building
3 - a secondary personal conflict, I thought we were going to get this with flora's relationship with the tabloids but... I was disappointed.
I loved the idea of this story merely I feel like information technology was poorly executed. Millie and Flora's scene in the laundry room was cute though, simply I wanted more than.

I devoured this book on audio in basically a day and oh my god, friends. At that place is a very specific emotion that usa sapphic girls feel when presented with adept sapphic content in fiction, and depending on our tastes in terms of tropes and genres, dissimilar sapphic books will hitting united states of america differently. The feeling I got from this volume was one of pure joy from getting a purple romance, usually reserved for a daughter falling in love with a prince, starring ii girls.
I loved Millie, the protagonist, right away. She's smart and she wants to be a geologist!!! She wants to get to a school in Scotland and part of the reason why she loves Scotland is because of its cool geology. Not to be then me, but give me whatever girl protagonist who's a scientist or wants to be 1 and I'll immediately be x times more invested in her story. Also, her interest wasn't just mentioned once in passing, it's really pretty much present throughout the volume and she has her own drove of minerals and rocks (I exercise as well!! okay, technically my mom does, merely that'due south not the signal) and UGH I love her so much okay!! I have no actual idea how accurate some of the things she said were. Since I was on audiobook I didn't feel like pausing every fourth dimension and google or ask my mom if the geology stuff was right Only whatsoever I capeesh the sentiment in any instance (and if y'all're a geologist don't @ me I'm merely hither for a fun gay time). Okay at present I made it audio like this is manner more than about geology than it actually is, but no, it's but I experience very strongly nigh geology so pardon me.
Afterward a brief introduction to Millie's family and friends back habitation, she gets to Scotland and we get that Hogwarts-y feeling of arriving to a identify y'all know very little almost (despite all the inquiry Millie has washed) and having to navigate through a new school and new people, most of which are filthy rich or direct up aristocrats. Among which is HRH Flora and, surprise surprise, Millie's roommate.
Their relationship can only be described as hate to beloved, as information technology often is when the couple starts off every bit roommates. Only after weeks of forced vicinity Millie's perception of Flora starts to change, and I think although we don't become Flora's POV, the same could be said for her. I don't want to wander besides much into headcanons, merely I believe that Flora started to view Millie under a new lite afterwards Millie'southward coming out, and I found that such a realistic experience for sapphic people.
Speaking of coming outs, they were two, in two separate moments (Millie'south, which nosotros know about since the very first page, just she comes out to her new friends in the school - she's bi, and Flora's, who is gay), and they both warmed my centre and so much because of how they were handled. There's also a "wait, you're straight???" moment for 1 of the side characters that had me laughing for hours (okay, not literally but I have to express mirth whenever I call back it). (No, don't worry, there was no queerbait.)
While I wouldn't telephone call this book super diverse equally a whole, it does evangelize on coincidental queerness and on people never making a large deal out of it. I really appreciated both aspects and how much a non-event it all was, I really felt like it was a volume written for queer people instead of just well-nigh them, you know? ♥
Back to the romance, I loved Millie and Flora'southward relationship. You can't aid but hate Flora in the commencement but by the end you're well-nigh equally in honey with her equally Millie is (okay, not sure that'southward possible actually). They got such cute and cliché romantic moments and they were TO Die for. Twentybiteen is giving us such sapphic goodness!!!!
Anyway information technology's been a while since a full-on gush review and I usually don't really review audiobooks because those are the books I read purely for fun without reviewing in mind, simply I couldn't not talk about this. I went into it only for a skilful sapphic time and it never ever disappointed me.
I do want to say that if you're expecting this to exist completely realistic you should mayhap change your mindset a piddling earlier you start reading. Yes, we all know there is no queen of Scotland and therefore no princess of Scotland. Maybe the blurb should make it more clear that information technology'south a fictional/alternating Scotland, simply that'south inappreciably the first volume series that does something like this. Of course, that'southward like shooting fish in a barrel for me to say because I've never been and I have no ties to Scotland, only I empathise not liking the idea of irresolute things for the sake of the book. You do you and while information technology never bothered me I wanted to mention this aspect.
Some other cursory annotation for those who desire to read this but haven't read the first volume in the series yet, go for it! I haven't read volume one either and every bit you lot can see I loved this volume. Information technology follows different characters and we exercise get to run across the protagonists from the first installment (one of which is Flora's older brother), but the book pretty much explains everything and we're not left wondering who these people are. And if y'all've read book 1 and want to see them once again, well read this book!
In conclusion, I don't think this book is perfect, and if it hadn't been f/f mayhap I wouldn't have liked it so much, but as you can run across I loved it and then much and I had such a skillful time reading information technology. I 100% recommend it to anybody!

I knew within fifty pages this volume was going to get a high rating. Similar I said most Prince Charming, the beginning book, this series is and so feel-adept and upbeat and addicting to read. Millie and Flora'southward esprit and hate to love romance was *chefs kiss* FROM THE GODS and their evolution, though independent in a curt novel, was still spectacularly drawn out.
My only grievance about this book is that the characters' personalities seem kinda similar, both to each other and to the characters in the previous volume. Hawkins has a really like shooting fish in a barrel fourth dimension writing wit and sarcasm, simply she gives several characters that aforementioned tone in their dialogue, and then it felt a chip repetitive and overdone at times. Mayhap this outcome was rooted in the characters non having plenty fleshing out of their inner workings, but the dialogue often felt similar the characters were trying to 1-upwards one some other with their sarcastic remarks, and I almost craved some more tension to cutting the constant jokes that began to grow corny.
Still, I highly recommend this serial if y'all want books near royals that will fly past and brand you express mirth out loud and clutch the volume to your breast out of feels. I would dearest for Hawkins to go on writing in this universe fifty-fifty though you could certainly read either volume every bit a standalone.

This story follows Millie Quint, a loftier school senior from Texas. After she sees her bff she's kind of been dating kissing her ex, she is more than ready to get out of Texas for her concluding year of high schoolhouse. She has an crawly opportunity to get to a schoolhouse in Scotland and she takes it. The unbelievable happens... Millie is rooming with a legit princess.
Flora is difficult at showtime. She's not the easiest to get forth with, but the more than Princess Flora and Millie get to know each other, they commencement to get friendly. Then they realize in that location are other feelings at play.
I loved the enemies to friends, then friends to lovers aspect of this story. I also loved and then many of the secondary characters. The writing and story were fun, and the audio volume was great. The but big downfall for me was the catastrophe. I wanted more, or at the very least some kind of epilogue.

- the audiobook narrator's deep south accent for a houstonian (pitiful bro we don't sound like that)
- the showtime of the book
- the mc'due south motivations
idk, my biggest effect was that the things i was supposed to deeply intendance about, and the things that MC should have cared about just... weren't there? like she wants to get to scotland because she watched Dauntless as a kid. and i estimate every bit a teenager that is as good a reason as any, simply as an adult it was hard to understand "oh yeah that makes sense" or why millie'south dad was similar "oh you lot like Dauntless? def go to a scottish boarding school."
and the romantic human relationship had the makings of something special. there was lots of lead up and enemies to lovers goodness. but ultimately it kind of roughshod flat at the terminate. in that location needs to be a transition from detest to dear and i retrieve information technology happened a LITTLE too quickly for my liking.
that being said, i did savor this book. it was a fun easy listen. and information technology's ever refreshing to meet FF romances in YA. i do recommend it.

I admittedly loved this story. I was looking frontward to reading something that I would find adorable and would make me happy and that is exactly what I got!!!
Plot
"It'south not absurd to stare, I know that, merely this is literally the prettiest girl I've e'er seen in my life."

The final thing Millie wants is to get her heartbroken again. Just is it possible to not fall for someone as wonderful every bit Flora?
Writing
The writing is like really absurd. It's i of those few books where the teen characters actually feel like teens talk instead of older people.
I actually loved information technology!
Characters
Millie is extremely cute! I actually love her. She is super fun to read virtually!! She is clever and loves geology. I find that hard to get bcz I hate that but she loves it then okay!
She is fun, quirky and actually sugariness. She loves her friends and would do anything for them.
Flora is the one I absolutely adore. She is kinda nighttime and mysterious. At offset, she seemed a chip jerky, just now I Love HER. She is dramatic but I love that. I loved her relationship with her family particularly her brothers!
She like Millie would do anything for the people she loves and I WOULD Exercise ANYTHING for her💖💖
ROMANCE
The entire book I was similar Simply FORKING Osculation already. I hateful it took forever for them to kiss.

A sapphic, Scottish, royal roommate romance… the synopsis for Her Royal Highness reminded me vaguely of Red White & Imperial Blue, and so who was I to wait?

~★~ What is this book about? ~★~
When Millie catches her girlfriend adulterous on her at the end of senior year, she's devastated. The perfect escape presents itself, however, when Millie receives an acceptance letter to her dream schoolhouse in Scotland. Once she arrives, Millie meets her roommate Flora, who turns out to be the royal hurting-in-her-butt princess of Scotland (whom she definitely won't develop a trounce on)!
~★~
If I'm being honest, Her Majestic Highness was entertaining, though not much else. The writing was pretty weak, which definitely hindered the story, nevertheless I establish myself flipping through the book quickly anyways. I actually enjoyed Millie's friends (Sakshi and Sebastian especially!) though I wished for a flake more than evolution on her part.
Some things I did enjoy were the shenanigans that Millie and Flora got into (similar the camping scene, or the pub scene). This book—despite not being very finessed—was loads of mindless fun, which I can really appreciate. There wasn't as much romance every bit I expected from this story, simply I actually enjoyed the pre-relationship banter anyways!
The pacing was skilful, up until the point where the protagonists get together. Across and then, things go from a first buss to "I'm madly in love with you" really fast. For such a short book, this didn't bother me too much, but from an objective standpoint it's perhaps a reason that the novel could've been a few chapters longer (considering the catastrophe was very rushed, too). Overall, Her Imperial Highness was an enjoyable notwithstanding forgettable read.

I read this considering information technology was advertised to exist gay every bit fuck. When did I get that? After 85% of the book was over.
◇◇◇
Things I didn't like:
• I idea this volume was about Milly wanting to go to the boarding school because of her love for geology? That information technology had some fancy geology program or something? Later Milly gets there, geology is never mentioned again, aside from talking nigh the decor rocks she keeps in her room. I'k really sick of authors giving characters actually cool hobbies and interests, basically shoving them into our faces and throats in the first 10 pages of a book, and and then never mentioning them ever again. Milly could have just gone to school because she liked Scotland. No geology needed. Why invent an interesting fact when you don't use information technology?
• I'm pitiful simply a romance where the romance starts after 3/4 of the book? This isn't slow burn, information technology's garbage.
• It takes talent to ruin the setting of a Scottish boarding school in the misty and beautiful highlands, but hey, mission accomplished!
• Milly seems really put off by the others drinking beer in the pub they go to. I really don't like it when Americans come for European teenagers because nosotros can drink earlier than them. Information technology doesn't put you above someone else or brand y'all better in any fashion, get over it.
• The sudden shift in their dynamic was so unrealistic. There wasn't a proper development in their feelings towards each other, it went from non liking each other to 'hmmm she'due south not that bad' to 'nevermind I actually loved you the whole fourth dimension' without whatever steps in between.
• Milly is describing nothing well-nigh Flora, other than how pretty she is. I could paint Flora'due south face similar a photo because I have every fucking detail burned into my ears (I listened to the audiobook) since Milly tin can't shut up about it. Believe it or not, girls who like girls also like personalities? Nosotros don't similar girls simply because they are pretty. I know, such a shock!
• I know that Flora is a fucking princess, Milly! I fucking read the synopsis! Every second judgement is 'Flora is and then pretty! Simply she is the princess of Scotland and she lives in a castle in Edinburgh! Did I mention she is the princess?!' At one signal, information technology started to feel like Milly addresses Flora as the fucking princess of Scotland, every fourth dimension she mentions the name.
• 'Ohhh, I'm and then plainly and normal! I have boring dark-brown hair and brown eyes, boohoohoo! The princess is too practiced for a normal girl like me, I'grand so normal, boohoohoo!' - Milly, 2018
• I really really liked Flora? She was a multifaceted character that was actually brought to life by the narration. It's only pitiful that the actual text -well, Milly's words- don't portray her equally such.
• The representation of the imitation Scottish royals felt clishé and stereotypical.
• A fucking princess kisses a girl in public during the regal wedding procession and ... That's information technology? The book ends?
• Speed upward the first 100 pages of nothing and add another 100 at the end, and then the plot would be worth getting through. 300 pages shouldn't take felt this long.
• This read like a middle-class novel with teenage characters. If I had plant out that Milly and Flora were 12 instead of 17 I wouldn't have been surprised.
◇◇◇
One affair I liked:
• The narrator did a really smashing job at all the dissimilar accents and distinguishing between all the voices.
◇◇◇
I merely really wanted a sapphic romance volume to gush over. This definitely wasn't information technology.
But If yous're in the mood for some pure fluff with no malaise what and so ever, this is the book for y'all. I just had hopes, that weren't met (I should have known before since I was enlightened of the books this author has written before but hey, a girl can dream).

She mentioned it nearly every chapter and it was too repetitive, and the audiobook narrator was pretty annoying with her uses of accents merely other than that, I came hither for a light romance and got what I asked for
AT A GLANCE
- Bi American girl goes to a Scottish boarding school where she has to room with the Princess of Scotland
- Soft enemies to friend to lovers romance
- Lesbian love involvement
- A wholesome read
Millie was only okay to me. I did beloved her smarts and dedication and dearest for her family. Flora was actually more of a marshmallow than I was expecting and was quite sweet. I just couldn't ever get invested in either of them or their relationship.
Plot wise, it was boring. I do love a expert boarding school setting, but this didn't do it for me. The entire story read like "this
I had liked the first book in this series and was absolutely here for gay princesses. Sadly, this one fell brusk for me.Millie was just okay to me. I did dearest her smarts and dedication and love for her family. Flora was actually more than of a marshmallow than I was expecting and was quite sweetness. I just couldn't always become invested in either of them or their relationship.
Plot wise, information technology was boring. I do love a good boarding school setting, but this didn't do it for me. The entire story read like "this happened and then this happened and so this happened" and that got actually onetime really quick. The saving graces for me were Saks and Perry and I could have easily read 100 more than pages of merely the two of them.
Overall, it just wasn't for me. I didn't meet the connection between the girls and the ending definitely left me wanting. Nevertheless, if Seb is getting a book, I'll probably read it.

"Millie, you know this is just a school, right?
Listen, HER Purple HIGHNESS is non just a lovely sapphic royal contemporary but information technology's as well.. fun. I thought this of the first in the Royals series, too. Are they perfect books? No. Infact, I idea the mini breakdown in this one to exist.. not awesome, both a piffling sloppy and too out of nowhere, but that doesn't negate all the warm fuzzies and overall entertainment, and did I mention fun, that it provided. And I needed some (a lot) of fun, then, #winning."Millie, y'all know this is just a school, correct? This isn't your Hogwarts letter."
"And you're not an owl simply this is absolutely the closest thing I'm ever going to become to a Hogwarts letter, then mitt information technology over."
Also like the first in the Royals serial I'yard rounding up because of all said fun. This is a fairly short, and rather uncomplicated, sorta-hate-to-love, thrown in with being roommates at a boarding schoolhouse in Scotland, plus the royalty element, and maybe some staying-warm-for-survival, and mind, I could become on; Hawkins doesn't skimp on the tropes and cliches and I wanted, and loved, them all.
"Wait, y'all're straight?"
"Yeah. Wait, you didn't think I was? Saks, nosotros've known each other since we were five. How could you not know that?"
"It's hard to tell with y'all, to exist honest."
"My lot?"
"You know. Stake weedy aristocrats."
We have some fabled diversity, besides the gay princess element, and I loved the supporting bandage of besties, too as a mini reunion with some of the characters from book one in this series. Really, my only complaint was already mentioned : the suspension-up was dumb. But whatever it was resolved in like twenty pages, then, voila!
"They're just people. End of the day, same as anyone else."
"Do you really believe that?"
"Oh god, no. Bloody terrifying, the whole lot of them, me included."
If you desire something a petty giddy, a lot fun, and dissimilar from your typical royal YA romance, selection this 1 upwardly. It'southward mannerly, information technology's sweet, and you'll probably express mirth out loud. I know I did.

my first read for the backlist readathon: completed !
THIS WAS THE CUTEST SHIT E'er OH MY GOD I LOVED IT SO MUCH. they actually should rewrite the synopsis as "millie going through bi panic for 200 pages" because information technology really exist like that.
I've ever been one to say I don't really intendance if I'm represented in books (proverb that as a privileged white daughter is definitely eye scroll worthy, I know) but it actually did make my heart sore to not just see millie be so coincidental about her bisexuality
4.five/5 stars !!!!my start read for the backlist readathon: completed !
THIS WAS THE CUTEST SHIT EVER OH MY GOD I LOVED Information technology Then MUCH. they really should rewrite the synopsis as "millie going through bi panic for 200 pages" considering it really be like that.
I've always been one to say I don't really care if I'm represented in books (saying that every bit a privileged white daughter is definitely eye roll worthy, I know) only it actually did make my heart sore to not only come across millie exist so casual about her bisexuality but to actually Come across her freak about about all these hot scottish rich kids was extremely relatable to say the least. literally the reason I wanted to read this was because I, a bisexual woman, wanted to osculation a scottish princess. to say I was satisfied is an understatement.
this book was and so fun and cute and I loved every MINUTE of it.
now brb while I research grad programs in scotland ✌🏼
