I liked it. It was cute. But overall it felt like it was trying a bit too hard. I also don't know if the author really understands politics, or for that matter, the UK? The Prince's family in particular - mom, brother, sister, the Queen - did not feel like real people. Parts of the book were just so unrealistic that it made me cringe.

The main romance was cute but felt a little lacking in substance. Alex was a little too arrogant, and it made me uncomfortable that his mother, the President, just handed him a job. And both of them seemed a little too immature at times.

But I guess my main problem with the book is the same problem I get when I try to rewatch the West Wing (which I love but just can't bring myself to revisit) - it's just too ideal and we know that that's not how things would really go down. I wish I could escape into it, but I'm probably too jaded.
