![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks to her best friend, Daisy avoids the mostly-negative coverage of Ellie and Prince Alex and focuses on their plans for Key Con, a convention they are attending that summer to meet their all-time favorite author. With Little Mermaid red hair and a love of nerd culture, Daisy is the average teen working at a grocery store, with the exception is that she’s surrounded by tabloids exploiting her sister Ellie’s relationship with Prince Alex, the heir to the throne of Scotland. Clearly taking some historical liberties by fictionalizing Scotland as an independent country, Hawkins imagines a romantic comedy with a reluctant protagonist who must learn what it’s like to be part of a world-famous royal family. Reminiscent of The Princess Diaries and the Amanda Bynes movie, What A Girl Wants, Royals works as a light and fluffy read, one that doesn’t really do anything innovative with the rom-com genre but hits all those familiar notes for those looking for something fun to read in anticipation of the Royal Wedding.įollowing up the fantastic Rebel Belle series, Royals centers on Florida teen, Daisy, whose life changes dramatically when her older sister announces her engagement to the Crown Prince of Scotland. I must admit to reading an article or 20 on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s upcoming wedding, so when Hawkins’ new book, Royals, landed on my doorstep the other day, I couldn’t stop myself from devouring it in one (kind of long) sitting. If you are (also) suffering from Royal Wedding fever, Rachel Hawkins’ new young adult novel is your next drug. ![]()
