American Rebecca Porter was never one for fairy-tales. Her twin sister Lacey was always the romantic, the one who daydreamed of being a princess. But it’s adventure-seeking Bex who goes to Oxford and meets dreamy Nick across the hall - and thus Bex who accidentally finds herself in love with the eventual heir to the British throne. Nick is everything she could have imagined, but Prince Nicholas has unimaginable baggage: grasping friends, a thorny family, hysterical tabloids tracking his every move, and a public that expected its future king to marry a native. On the eve of the most talked-about wedding of the century, Bex reflects on what she’s sacrificed for love — and exactly whose heart she may yet have to break.
A fun re-imagining of the romance of Kate and Wills. I love reading Heather and Jessica’s fashion blog and have been meaning to pick up this book for awhile now. Overall, I really enjoyed this romantic romp through England and time. I really fell for many of the side characters, especially Freddie and Gaz. I did like Bex and her story told from her own perspective. The one thing I didn’t like: the ending. It felt really rushed and not quite satisfying. But I still really enjoyed the almost 500 pages I spent with Bex and Nick.
