"Is it possible you willfully forgot about the biggest international event of the year because you don't want to see your arch nemesis?"
"June, I'm the son of the President of the United States. Prince Henry is a figurehead of the British Empire. You can't just call him my 'arch nemesis,'" Alex says. He chews thuoghtfully and adds, "'Arch nemesis' implies he's actually a rival to me on any level and not, you know, a stuck-up product of inbreeding who probably jerks off to photos of himself."

I know, I know, this is the spookiest month of the year, and all those readathons I've signed up for want me to read spooky/gothic books... but I was in the mood for something fun and fluffy, and this book looked to be a perfect fit. I'm so happy I finally picked it up after keeping it on my TBR for ages, because asdfsjlkj I LOVED IT. It was the perfect emotional rollercoaster: laugh out loud funny in some parts, having me almost sob into my pillow in others, giving me plenty of opportunities to go AWWWW out loud, touching on some really deep themes between making me smile and making me rage. Probably one of the best new adult romances I've ever read. I loved the story, I loved the characters, I loved how, in figuring out Henry wasn't exactly what he thought, Alex also figured out that he wasn't exactly what he thought himself, either. I loved the secret service agents. I loved Shaan. I loved that entire part by the lake—if you've read it, you know the one. I couldn't get enough of this book, and the one thing I hate about it is that it's over and I've gotta get by somehow without reading another chapter whenever I have a small chunk of spare time. <3
