A really cute read with great humor and characters. There is little angst and lots of fluff. The relationship and friendships are so cute. If you’re looking for a lighthearted sapphic read, I highly recommend this one.

This was a fun romance. I love a boarding school book and I'm almost always a fan of the enemies-to-lovers trope and both elements work well here. I also very much enjoyed the American view of Scotland. I was a little wary that as a British person the idea of a current Scottish royal family would seem ridiculous but actually I thought it was done very well. I really could have done with another 50 pages because I wanted a little more from the ending, but overall it was a fun, easy read.

i am a lesbian and love the enemies to lovers trope. in my opinion the enemies to lovers trope is top tier when it’s with a gay couple. anyways, my review probably isn’t worth anything because i’m extremely biased literally just because it’s a wlw book. amazing book though!

8/10. It made me cry, it made me laugh, it made me scream. It also made me yearn for a romance of my own similar to what the characters had so it did its job well. I recommend.

I was looking for something lighthearted and easy to read, which I found in this book. It was also very fun and refreshing to find a sapphic book amongst mlm books in LGBTQ+ literature, however...
The pacing was so weird, the writing reminds me of Wattpad, and the characterization is... lackluster. A lot of other reviewers have explained further on the issues and I won't repeat them as I can't word it better anyway, but generally, that. It wasn't bad per se, it just leaves a lot to wish for.
Moreover, the ending was very abrupt, and, idk.For a love interest that has a mother that wanted her to 'get rid of the gay phase', I didn't see any protest of her kissing another girl in public. Yes, I am asking for a political thing in a lighthearted book, I know, but we're talking about royals here.

I love the relationship in the book and the overall setting. It was cute, sweet, and short! I also loved when the MC openly talks about being bi to the audience and other characters. That being said this book, although is short-and-sweet, could have been better if it was a bit longer, I felt like it kinda ended kind of suddenly. Another criticism of the book I have is the author had no problems writing about the MC being openly bisexual and goes into detail about her coming out however the MC's love interest was hinted at being lesbian but didn't get that same openness it was just "I like girls" and that was it. It was an obvious thing I noticed when reading so I felt it was worth mentioning here.
